Frequently asked questions

What is the best digital business card app?

It depends what you need. VisiCardly is the strongest pick if you also want a link-in-bio page, a restaurant menu, or team digital business cards in the same subscription. Popl and Dot lead on physical NFC hardware. Blinq and HiHello focus purely on the card.

Is there a free digital business card app?

Yes — VisiCardly, Blinq, HiHello and Popl all offer a free tier with a basic card, QR code, and vCard sharing. Paid plans across all of them unlock analytics, multiple cards, custom branding and team features.

Do digital business card apps need NFC hardware?

No. Every app on this page works with just a QR code and a shareable link — no physical card or NFC chip required. NFC cards (like Popl and Dot ship) are an optional add-on, not a requirement.
