Digital business card in Australia, free.

Apple Wallet is part of iOS, so every iPhone in Australia has it, and a Cardr pass goes into it free. Google lists Australia among the countries where it offers Google Wallet (Google’s country list, read 12 October 2026).

So Cardr works on both. On an Android phone running Android 9 or later, with Google Play services (Google’s requirements), your card goes into Google Wallet; on an iPhone, into Apple Wallet. Both passes are free, carry the same QR code and update when you edit your card. See the Google Wallet business card for how it looks.

The person you meet is not affected either way. On an iPhone or an Android phone, their camera opens your page from the QR code, they save you to their contacts, and they can send their own details back. They install nothing and never receive a pass.

The card is free in Australia, as it is everywhere: the Wallet pass, your page, the QR code, the two-way exchange and every contact it brings back, with notes, tags and export. No card details are taken to start.

Pro is the follow-up done for you: drafts written from your notes in your voice, a reminder on day 3 after you meet someone, and every pass design. Cardr charges people in Australia in US dollars, not Australian dollars: Pro is $15 a month, or $12 a month billed yearly ($144 a year). Visitors from Australia see that price on our pricing page, and it is what checkout charges. Your card issuer may add a fee for a payment in a foreign currency.

The Privacy Act 1988

Its 13 Australian Privacy Principles apply to the organisations the Act covers: in general, those with an annual turnover above $3 million, plus some smaller businesses whatever their size, such as one that sells or buys personal information (OAIC: rights and responsibilities). If it covers you, the principles deal with what you may collect (APP 3), telling people you have collected it (APP 5), using it only for the purpose you collected it for (APP 6), direct marketing (APP 7), keeping it secure (APP 11) and giving people access to it (APP 12), as the OAIC’s quick reference sets them out.

The Spam Act 2003, for the follow-up

A follow-up email that markets something is covered by the Spam Act. The ACMA says you need consent before you send one, express or, in narrower cases, inferred; the message must identify you and give your contact details; and it must make unsubscribing easy (ACMA: avoid sending spam). The ACMA calls express consent the best practice, and lists face to face among the ways to get it.

Cardr drafts your follow-up from your note; you send it from your own mail app, so what it says, and who it goes to, stays your decision. What Cardr itself stores, and how to have it deleted, is on our privacy page. Contacts export to CSV or vCard on the free plan.

A plain summary of public guidance, to help you think it through. It is not legal advice. Sources, read 12 October 2026: OAIC, rights and responsibilities; OAIC, APP quick reference; ACMA, avoid sending spam.

Blinq is based in Australia. On its own pricing page, as we read it on 12 October 2026, its free tier is two cards, “Unlimited sharing” and “Unlimited contact creation”, and its paid plans are these: Premium $9.99 a month, or $7.33 a month billed annually. Business $6.99 per card a month, or $4.99 billed annually, with a "minimum of five" cards. Enterprise is quoted. That page may show a different currency where you are.

If you want cards that feed a CRM you already run, Blinq is the more complete product, and we would tell you to buy it: it lists “Native integration with 20+ CRMs”. Cardr has no CRM integrations.

Cardr is built around what happens after the meeting: their details come back to you in the exchange, you keep one sentence about who they are, and Pro reminds you on the day and drafts the message. The side-by-side, with sources, is on Cardr vs Blinq, and every product with its published price is on digital business card prices.
