September 28, 2026

A digital business card is a web page with your photo, contact details and links. You share it with a link or a QR code, and the other person saves your details to their phone in one tap. No printing, no reprints when your title changes.
Most tools have a free plan. They differ in how many cards you get, whether the other person needs an app, and what's locked behind the paid plan.
Quick comparison

1. ProIntro: best free card for individuals
ProIntro runs in the browser. You make your card, publish it to prointro.com/yourname, and share it by link or QR code. Nobody installs anything, on either side.
Free plan: one card, three templates (Classic, Arch, Bubble), three contact fields, a QR code, Apple and Google Wallet passes, save-to-contacts (vCard), and a lead form that keeps your first three leads. Free cards show a small "Made with ProIntro" label.
Pro ($49/year or $6.99/month, 7-day free trial): up to five cards, the premium templates and fonts, custom backgrounds, a branded QR code, detailed analytics, unlimited leads, and no ProIntro label.
Good to know: it's made by the team behind HeadshotPro, so pairing your card with a professional headshot is easy.
Pick it if you care how your card looks and don't want your contacts to download an app.
2. HiHello: most cards on a free plan
HiHello's free Personal plan is the most generous on this list: four cards, five paper-card scans a month, a personal email signature and wallet support. There are no analytics on the free plan.
Paid: Professional is $6/month or $72/year (16 cards, analytics, full branding). Business is $5 per user per month.
Pick it if you want separate cards for different roles without paying.
3. Blinq: best mobile app
Blinq is a polished app with a free plan of one or two cards and unlimited sharing through wallet, widgets, email and SMS. The free plan has no lead capture, analytics or branded QR codes.
Paid: Premium is $9.99/month, or $7.33/month billed annually, for up to five cards and custom branding. Business is $6.99 per user per month ($4.99 annually).
Pick it if you share your card mostly from your phone and want the smoothest app.
4. Wave Connect: best free lead capture
Wave's free plan includes a card, a personal email signature, unlimited sharing, unlimited contact management, wallet passes and a lead capture form. Custom colours and fonts, branded QR codes, CRM sync and removing the Wave branding all need a paid plan.
Paid: Pro is $7/month ($84/year). Teams is $5 per user per month (three seats minimum).
Pick it if you mainly want to collect the details of people you meet.
5. Popl: best for teams and events
Popl focuses on teams: event lead capture, badge scanning, CRM integrations and a card for every employee. Individual plans are available through the Popl app. Team pricing isn't published; you get a quote after a call.
Pick it if you're buying for a sales or events team and want NFC hardware.
6. Canva: best for a static design
Canva isn't a digital business card platform, but its free business card maker has thousands of templates. You'll end up with an image or PDF you can send or print. There's no live page, no save-to-contacts button and nothing to update later without re-sharing a new file.
Pick it if you just need a nice-looking image, or you want to print cards too.

FAQ
Is there a completely free digital business card?
Yes. ProIntro, HiHello, Blinq and Wave Connect all have free-forever plans. The limits differ: HiHello gives the most cards (four), while ProIntro, Blinq and Wave focus on one main card.
Do people need an app to receive my digital business card?
No, not with any of these. The person you share with opens a web page and can save your details to their contacts. With ProIntro you don't need an app to make the card either.
Can I add a digital business card to Apple Wallet?
Yes. ProIntro, HiHello, Blinq and Wave Connect all support Apple and Google Wallet on their free plans.
What's the difference between a digital business card and a Canva design?
A digital business card is a live web page: people can tap to call, email or save you to their contacts, and you can update it any time. A Canva design is a static image or PDF.
