What to look for
Six things that actually matter.
Before you pick a digital business card, these are the criteria worth comparing. Read them, then scroll to the table — we grade each tool against the same checklist.
How you share
QR, link, Apple and Google Wallet pass, home-screen widget, NFC. The more channels a card supports, the less friction at the exchange.
Why it matters — Your recipient should not need a specific app or a physical card to accept your info. Multiple channels cover every context — trade show, coffee shop, remote call.
What happens after the exchange
Capture forms, CRM sync, and AI follow-up drafting. This is where 80% of leads go cold.
Why it matters — A digital card without a follow-up loop is just a vCard. The real wedge is whether the tool drafts a personalised reply before the lead forgets who you are.
Team workflows
Admin dashboard, lead routing, deal handoff, shared templates, and offboarding retention.
Why it matters — When reps leave, their contacts should stay. When a lead needs a specialist, handoff should be one click. Solo-focused tools skip all of this.
Integrations depth
Named Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive connectors — not just CSV export. Public API, webhooks, Zapier for everything else.
Why it matters — Generic CSV export means manual work every week. Named connectors and a public API mean your card tool actually lives inside your sales stack.
Security and scale
SSO / SAML, SCIM, SOC 2, data residency, GDPR DPA.
Why it matters — Enterprise procurement will filter out anything without SSO and SOC 2. Even for SMB, single sign-on is the difference between "my team uses it" and "half my team forgot their password."
Pricing and value
Per-seat vs per-card pricing, what is gated at each tier, true cost at 10/50/200 seats, free-tier limits, transparency.
Why it matters — Headline prices and real prices often differ. Watch for AI or CRM features gated behind the top tier, per-card (not per-user) Business pricing, or Enterprise quotes hidden behind a form.

Honest moment
Where Blinq wins.
If any of these is your #1 constraint, Blinq is a reasonable choice. We'd rather tell you than watch you churn.
Design polish
Blinq is the design-led pick in the category — card templates and visual refinement are a clear strength.
G2 social proof
4.8 rating across 8,136 G2 reviews — #1 in category on that axis. If G2 signal matters in your buying committee, they win.
Physical NFC line
Three hardware SKUs ($9.99–$60) with a polished supply chain. If a branded metal card is part of your purchase, Blinq ships it.
Why switch
Where SG-BizCard wins.
Four things Blinq doesn't do, or gates behind a higher tier.
AI that drafts, not just enriches
Blinq enriches and takes notes but does not draft the follow-up email. SG-BizCard does.
Per-user, not per-card pricing
Blinq Business charges per card — a rep with an event card + bilingual card pays 2×. SG-BizCard is per user.
CRM sync outside Business tier
Blinq locks Salesforce/HubSpot sync to Business tier. SG-BizCard exposes it at Business starting point but does not penalise multi-card reps.
API + webhooks at Business, not Enterprise
Blinq gates programmable access to Enterprise. SG-BizCard ships API and webhooks at Business.
