Best for: Networking, sharing contacts & capturing leads digitally
Last updated: September 04, 2026
Blinq is a digital business card done well: share your details by QR code, link or Apple Wallet, update the card instantly, and push captured contacts straight into your CRM via 5,000+ integrations including Salesforce and HubSpot. Its standout is the unusually generous free plan — two fully functional cards, unlimited sharing and no "powered by" branding — which is more than most rivals give away. It's polished, intuitive and highly rated. The honest catches: saving contacts can confuse recipients (especially on Android), some handy features like CSV export and branded QR are paywalled, and the Business plan needs 5 users.
STARTS AT
Free — then from $4.99/mo
Blinq starts free, and the free plan is genuinely useful: two full cards, unlimited QR sharing, Apple Wallet, contact tagging, email signatures and no powered-by branding. Paid plans begin ~$4.99/mo annual. Premium runs ~$7.33/mo annually (5 cards, CSV export, branded QR, colour customization). Business (Teams) is $4.99/user/mo annual ($6.99 monthly) with a 5-user minimum, and Enterprise is custom-quoted. For most individuals the free tier is enough — treat paid tiers as upgrades for branding, exports and team management.
Yes — one of the most generous free plans in the category. You get two complete cards with full functionality, unlimited QR sharing, Apple Wallet, contact tagging, email signatures and virtual backgrounds, all without a powered-by watermark. That's more than many competitors give away, and reviewers frequently say the free tier is comprehensive for personal use and small businesses. You mainly pay when you want more cards, CSV exports, branded QR codes, deeper customization or team-wide management and analytics.
Yes. Blinq advertises 5,000+ integrations and connects with popular CRMs including Salesforce and HubSpot, so contacts you capture at events flow straight into your pipeline rather than sitting in a phone. For sales teams that's the real value beyond a nice card — every scan or save can become a CRM lead without manual entry. The depth of CRM sync and analytics is strongest on Business and Enterprise, so confirm the integrations and automation you need are on your chosen plan.
The tool is polished, but two things come up repeatedly. First, saving a contact can confuse recipients, especially if they're unfamiliar with digital cards or on an Android device, so the exchange isn't always as frictionless as a paper hand-off. Second, while the free plan is generous, some useful features — extra cards, CSV export, branded QR and richer customization — are reserved for paid tiers, and Business carries a 5-user minimum. Not dealbreakers, but factor in the recipient experience and the paywall.
It can be, but price it on the team rules. The Business plan gives centralized branding, member management, lead capture and analytics at $4.99/user/mo annual with a minimum of 5 users — so a three-person team still pays for five seats. Enterprise adds custom controls, security and support but is quote-based. For a small sales team wanting consistent branded cards and CRM sync it's a strong fit; for two or three people, weigh the five-seat minimum against just using individual Premium accounts.
Individuals, sales professionals and teams who network in person or online and want an easy, always-up-to-date way to share contacts and capture leads. It's ideal for anyone at events, conferences or client meetings who wants a branded card that updates instantly and can push contacts into a CRM. The free plan suits solo professionals and small businesses; Business and Enterprise suit sales teams needing shared branding and analytics. It's less essential for people who rarely network, where a simple free card or none at all is enough.
