Blinq is the strongest free app-based card. Elite Card Pro wins when you want to be searchable by keyword, want a human to set it all up, and want your card, reviews, and website handled by one team.
Every digital card shares your details. Only Elite Card Pro makes you searchable by keyword inside your contact's phone. Months later, a client who forgot your name searches "insurance" or "realtor" — and you appear. That is how referrals actually happen, and it is the gap Blinq leaves open.
Your profile is searchable inside a contact's phone. Months later they search "realtor" or "insurance" — and you appear, even if they forgot your name.
Every person you meet lands in one dashboard. See who connected, organize your relationships, and never lose a lead in a stack of cards again.
Send a full follow-up message with a single tap. Use variables like {first name} so every text personalizes itself automatically — no typing, no copy-paste.
A polished, app-first digital business card with a generous free tier and strong enterprise credentials.
Best for: individuals who want a free app-based card, and enterprises with an in-house admin.

Blinq is a self-serve app with a free tier. Elite Card Pro is a done-for-you service: we build and manage your card, it is searchable by keyword so clients find you by what you do, and the same team runs your Google review placards, website, and any custom software you need.
Blinq has a free individual plan; Elite Card Pro starts at $150/year. The difference is service and scope — Elite includes a physical premium card, done-for-you setup, keyword search, free replacements, and an all-in-one team, rather than software you configure yourself.
Premium NFC + QR card, keyword search, and a real team behind it — from $150/year.
