Blinq alternatives, side by side
Two published price lists, read from the pages that print them.
Blinq prints a free tier and paid tiers per user, with CRM work as its headline. This site prints its own figures too, gives you a card on your own link free, and costs less each month than any paid tier on their page.
Two companies that publish their prices
This is the easy kind of comparison: both pages print figures, so you can hold them beside each other and decide. The table below does exactly that, with the date we read theirs on every row.
Where the two products part company is what the money is for. Theirs buys a route into a customer database. Ours buys a card, a pass, a lead form and the alerts that go with them.
Blinq and VisitingCards.store, row by row
Their figures are quoted from their own pricing page; ours come from our catalogue, the same ones the plans page prints.

Blinq compared with this site
Their strongest claim on their own page is the CRM work: twenty and more databases they write into, plus enrichment of the contact after the tap. Nothing here does that, and pretending otherwise would be found out in a week.
What this site does that their page does not describe is the rest of your presence: the same details at the end of your emails, on the wall behind you in a video call, and in a pass that sits in their wallet and changes when you edit it.
Where Blinq is the better choice
Their page makes a real case in these three places, and it deserves to be read there.
- A company that wants its cards written straight into a CRM, which their page names as a headline feature.
- Anyone who wants the NFC card and a CRM connection from one company: their page names both, and we write into no CRM.
- A team wanting a single sign-on and a per-user contract negotiated as one.

Is there a free plan here?
Yes: one card on your own link, free for as long as you want it, with a small line naming the site at the bottom of the card.
Do you write into a CRM?
No. On Pro, the people who write to you are listed in your dashboard and can be downloaded, and what you do with that file afterwards is yours to choose.
Can a whole team be on one account?
Yes, on seats that are priced per seat. The plans page carries the figure, and a team keeps one look across everybody's cards.
Do you sell the card with the chip in it?
Yes. Our print shop makes two NFC cards, Frosted Transparent Plastic with NFC Chip and Anodized Black Matte Aluminum NFC, and writes your card's address on every chip before sending them. A tag you already own works too: write your card's link to it.
