The best Blinq alternatives, free and cheaper.

It depends what sent you looking. Wave Connect if you want Blinq’s free tier, with more in it; HiHello if you want a cheaper paid plan on both wallets; Mobilo if your team wants CRM sync for the least money. The full list, with where each falls short, is above.

Blinq’s paid tier starts at $9.99 a month and the product is built around a CRM. If you do not run one, you are paying for the integration layer and using the card. Blinq’s pricing page also lists “$9.99 per lead captured and enriched. Credit consumption is billed monthly.”

Among the options here, by published team price: Wave Teams ($5 per user a month, billed annually, from 3), HiHello Business ($5 per user a month, billed annually, from 5), Mobilo Teams ($4 per card a month, billed annually), Uniqode Team ($6 per user a month, billed annually) and Dot Teams Essential ($8 per member a month, billed annually). Cardr Teams is $49 a month for 5 people, then $10 each. Check each plan’s minimum against your team.

Yes: Blinq’s pricing page lists “$9.99 per lead captured and enriched. Credit consumption is billed monthly.”. Among the alternatives, Wave lists “$2.50 per credit”. Cardr has no per-use charges.

Blinq: Premium lists “Export contacts” as an addition to Free, as published on October 29, 2026. Export before you cancel anything. Cardr exports every contact to CSV or vCard on the free plan, and does not import from other products.

Cardr needs no app on either side: you make the card on the web, the pass sits in Apple Wallet, and the person you meet opens your page in their browser. Uniqode: “Sharing or receiving Uniqode business cards does not require installing an app.” (pricing FAQ)

Wave ($23 (NFC card) to $53 (metal NFC card)), Mobilo ($19.99 to $139.00 list, with promotional prices shown) and Dot (£31 to £102, as shown to a UK visitor), as published. Cardr sells none; any NFC tag you own can open your cardr.co link.

Yes, several. Wave Connect, Dot, Uniqode and Cardr all publish a free plan, and each is capped somewhere different; the free plan rows above quote them. Blinq itself is free for two cards.

For one person: Mobilo Pro ($3 a month; billing period not stated), HiHello Professional ($72 a year), Popl Pro ($76.99 a year in the US App Store) and Wave Pro ($84 billed annually) all cost less than Blinq Premium ($87.96 billed annually), as published on the dates shown. For a team, Mobilo Teams ($4 per card a month, billed annually) costs less per seat than Blinq Business ($4.99 per card, minimum five); Wave Teams ($5 per user, from three) costs a cent more per seat with a lower minimum.

HiHello Business (Salesforce, HubSpot and Dynamics), Wave from Pro, Mobilo (Salesforce, HubSpot and Pipedrive natively, more through Zapier), Uniqode (Salesforce directly) and Dot’s Growth plan all list CRM connections. Cardr has none.

Cardr keeps the card free, with no limit on exchanges or contacts, and puts its price on the message afterwards: you keep one sentence about the person, and Pro emails you a drafted follow-up at 9 a.m. your time on the day they named. Pro is $15 a month, or $144 a year. Contact export to CSV or vCard is on the free plan. No CRM integrations at all, and no NFC cards for sale. No paper card or badge scanner on the web. Scan paper cards free, as many as you like, in the iPhone app. HiHello’s free plan scans five a month, and Wave Connect’s gives 10 trial credits at one credit a card, both as published on October 27, 2026. If any of those is why you chose Blinq, Cardr is the wrong switch.
