POCCard or Popl: what to compare
Popl is one of the best known names in digital business cards, so it is usually the first thing people compare against. Here is the honest way to do that comparison.
What this page does not do: it does not tell you what Popl costs, what its plans include or what it cannot do. Those change without notice and we do not track them, so publishing them here would be publishing something we cannot stand behind. Check them on Popl’s own site. Everything said below about POCCard is in our product today.
Both are digital business cards you share by tap, QR or link. What separates one from another is rarely the tap itself: it is what happens in the five seconds after it, and what the card is still worth a year later.
| What you want | What to check on their side | POCCard |
|---|---|---|
| They save you to their phone | Does it need their app, or does the phone book open on its own? | One tap: the contact file opens in the phone book, photo included. Nothing to install on either phone. |
| You keep their details | Is there a form on the card itself, and where do the details land? | A short form under your card. Their details land in your contacts and you get an e-mail the moment it happens. |
| Paper cards you are handed | Is there anything that reads them? | A scanner reads name, company, role, e-mail, phone, website and address. 20 a month on Personal, 500 on Company. |
| The language of your card | How many, and does the whole account change with it? | Four: English, Spanish, French and Portuguese, account and card. |
| When you stop paying | What happens to the card already printed and handed out? | It keeps your name and a way to call you. It never becomes a dead link. |
| What it costs | Check on their site. Prices change. | From $29 a year, or $129 once and it is yours for life. 30-day money-back guarantee. |

Questions people ask before buying.
Is POCCard cheaper than Popl?
We will not answer that here: their prices change and we do not track them. POCCard is $29 a year or $129 once, with 30 days to get your money back. Compare it against what their site says today.
Can I move from Popl to POCCard?
There is no import. You fill in your card once — name, role, phones, links — and print or write a new NFC card. If you already have blank NFC tags, you can write them yourself from an Android phone.
Do my clients need an app?
No, and that is the part worth checking on any card you compare. Tapping or scanning a POCCard opens a web page, and saving the contact opens the phone book.
