The best digital business cards for 2027: an honest list, POC Card included
There is no single best digital business card. There is a best one for paying nothing, one for paying once, one for a company that needs single sign-on and one for a busy trade show booth. This list says which brand wins each case, including the cases where POC Card, the one we make, loses.
How this list was made: every fact comes from the brand’s own pricing page, help center or App Store listing, read on November 1, 2026. Dot’s site refused our requests that day, so its facts are from October 18, 2026, and so are Popl’s. Nobody paid to be on this list and there are no affiliate links. Prices change: check the source before you decide. We read them all again in January 2027.
The short answer
- Best free plan: Blinq. Two cards free forever, with unlimited sharing, written on its pricing page. A close second is HiHello: two cards, and 5 paper cards or badges scanned a month, also free.
- Best to pay once and forget: Dot, if the basics are enough: the dot.card costs US$30 once and its profile is free for life. If you also want lead capture and a contact book in the free software, V1CE sells its card from US$82 once.
- Best for a company that needs single sign-on: HiHello Business. Google and Microsoft sign-on with directory sync from 5 users, per its pricing page. Blinq and Wave Connect keep enforced sign-on for their Enterprise plans.
- Best for a busy trade show booth: Wave Connect. The lead form is on its free plan, and AI capture of badges and paper cards is paid by credits, so you pay for what you capture. Popl also puts the form on every plan and charges for export; its team prices come from a sales meeting.
- Best in English and Spanish: POC Card. The card, its buttons and the account work in English, Spanish, French and Portuguese. The App Store listings of Blinq, Popl and Dot name English only.
- Best lifetime plan with the form and scanner included: POC Card. You pay once, it does not renew, and it keeps the contact form and 20 paper card scans a month.
- Best for a link-in-bio page: Linktree. If what you want is one page with all your links more than a contact card, it is the reference. Its prices vary by region and its pricing page did not show us figures, so it has none here.

Popl’s price is the one in Apple’s US App Store; its website does not publish one. Dot’s dot.Profile+ is optional: the free profile comes with the card. V1CE’s row is the card, paid once, with its software included.
Where POC Card is not the best choice
- You want to pay nothing, ever. We have no free plan. Blinq, HiHello and Wave Connect do.
- Each employee needs their own login, or your company requires single sign-on. A POC Card team is one account that creates and edits every profile. HiHello Business is the cheapest of the brands here with sign-on.
- Contacts must flow into your CRM by themselves. We export to a CSV file that you import; Blinq, HiHello, Wave Connect and Popl connect to HubSpot and Salesforce directly.
- You want a brand with years of public reviews. POC Card is new, and we would rather say so than invent them.
Where it does win: if you work in Spanish as well as English, if you would rather pay once than every year, and if you hand out printed cards that must not turn into a dead link the day a payment fails.
Test any of them in ten minutes
- Open the card on a phone that has never had the app, and save the contact. That is what your clients will do.
- Send yourself the contact form and see where the details land, and what it costs to export them.
- Find the page that says what happens when you stop paying. If there is none, ask before you print.
- Add up three years, not one month.
You can try a POC Card BIZ Card for 14 days without registering a payment card, and if you pay and change your mind, you have 30 days to ask for your money back.

We also read Mobilo’s pricing page. It mixes card bundles with promotions that had already ended, and we could not tell the current plan price, so it is not in the tables.

Questions people ask before buying.
What is the best digital business card for 2027?
It depends on what you need. Blinq has the clearest free plan, Dot is the cheapest to pay once, HiHello Business is the cheapest with single sign-on, Wave Connect suits busy trade show booths, and POC Card suits people who work in English and Spanish or want a lifetime plan with the contact form included.
Which digital business cards have a free plan?
Blinq, HiHello, Wave Connect, Popl and Linktree have free plans. Dot and V1CE give you the profile free for life when you buy their card. POC Card has no free plan; it has a 14-day trial with no payment card.
Is there a good digital business card without a subscription?
Yes. Dot and V1CE sell the card once and include free software, and POC Card has a lifetime plan that you pay once and that keeps the contact form and the paper card scanner.
Why is POC Card on its own list?
Because we make it, and leaving it out would hide what we think it does well. To be fair, the list says where it loses: no free plan, no single sign-on and no direct CRM connection.
