A third option
If you mostly need the follow-up sent.
- 1They scan your pass
- 2They save you
- 3They can send theirs back
- 4Pro drafts your follow-up
ExampleRachel Lindgren and Marcus Bell are invented.
Cardr, which wrote this page, makes a free digital business card as a signed Apple Wallet and Google Wallet pass, with a page anyone can open and save you from, and a two-way exchange: after they save you, they can send their details back. Pro ($15 a month, or $144 a year) reminds you on day 3 with the follow-up already drafted from the note you kept. Teams $49 a month for up to 5 people, then $10 a month for each person after that.
It does less than either HiHello or Popl in places: no CRM integrations, no badge scanning and no NFC cards for sale. If those matter, pick between the two above. If what goes wrong is the message you never send after meeting someone, try it free first.
