Freelancing has no marketing department and no quiet quarter to build a pipeline in. Cardr gives you one address that carries the portfolio, brings people's details back to you, and writes the follow-up that fills next month.
The freelance problem is not finding work, it is finding work while doing work. When you are busy, nothing goes into the pipeline; when you are not busy, the pipeline is empty and it is too late. Cardr makes the exchange one tap with nothing for anyone to install, puts your portfolio and rates one tap from a Wallet pass, captures their details back, and drafts the follow-up so pipeline work costs minutes rather than an afternoon.
The link in your bio, the line in your email signature and the code you show in a bar are the same thing.
The link in your bio
The link in your bio, the line in your email signature and the code you show in a bar are the same thing.
Every constraint above is what decides the format. A card that fails any one of the three does not get used a second time, however good it looks.
Freelancers accumulate presences: a portfolio site, an Instagram, a Behance, a GitHub, a Calendly, a rates PDF. Every one of them is a place someone can get lost. What you actually need is a single address you can say out loud, that gathers all of them, and that works identically whether it is clicked from a bio or scanned across a table.
The second half is the part freelancers skip. You go to an event, you have four good conversations, you get their Instagram handles and go home. None of that produces work, because none of it produces an email address on your side and a reason to write.
And because your card is a Wallet pass, the day you put your rates up, change your specialism, or finally stop calling yourself a generalist, everyone who saved you sees the new version without an announcement post.
Not a mock-up. The artwork below is drawn by the same function that draws the inside of the signed .pkpass file, in the same colours the real pass carries, so this is what Wallet shows.

For a lot of people, yes. The card, the Apple Wallet pass, your page, the QR code and the two-way exchange are all free forever with no scan cap. Pro is for the follow-up: the searchable contact memory, the drafted messages and the reminders. If you already follow up reliably, stay on free.
Not yet. Your card lives at cardr.co/yourname. If your personal domain is central to how you present yourself, that is a real gap and it may be a reason to wait.
No. Apple Wallet ships on every iPhone and cannot be deleted. Android users open your page from the QR code and save you to their contacts from there.
Edit the card once and every copy already saved in someone's Wallet updates itself on their phone. Freelance positioning changes more often than anything else on this site, which is exactly what a Wallet pass is good at.
Your card and your existing contacts stay. Pro exports everything to CSV or vCard whenever you want, so you can take the list before you cancel. If you cancel, you drop to the free tier rather than losing the account.
Nothing for the other person to install, and no card details to start.
