How we compared them
We looked at the same few things for every company: whether a free plan exists, what the cheapest paid plan costs, whether a physical NFC card is sold and at what price, and what the company seems built for. We did not test card read speed, chip quality or phone compatibility, so this page does not rank on those.
We are NearvoQ, so we show our own row too and say plainly where a competitor is a better fit. Dated sources for every company are listed at the bottom of the page.
Which one should you pick?
You only want a free digital card
Start with a free plan from HiHello, Wave, Blinq or NearvoQ. A free NearvoQ profile has its own QR code and a Save contact button; see the free digital business card page.
You want a physical card that never goes stale
A card with a permanent link, like NearvoQ's, can be pointed somewhere new without reprinting. Basic is $19.99 and Custom is $29.99, one-time.
You are equipping a sales team
Popl, Wave and Mobilo describe team management, lead capture or CRM features. Compare their team pages: NearvoQ vs Popl, vs Wave and vs Mobilo.
You collect Google reviews
Look for a card that opens your review form directly. That is NearvoQ's core use; read the Google review card page.
Things a roundup like this cannot tell you
- How fast a card reads on your phone and your customers' phones.
- How long printed cards last in a wallet or on a counter.
- Whether a company's support answers quickly. Read recent reviews and test the contact form.
- What each plan costs after any trial ends. Always read the renewal terms.

Optional Pro: the terms
NearvoQ Pro is optional: $6.99/month or $58.00/year, with a 7-day trial once per account. A payment card is required; the plan renews automatically until cancelled. Free includes 1 profile and 10 templates; Pro includes 10 profiles and all 100 templates. Physical cards are paid separately, and card links keep working on Free.
