Blinq is the strongest free app-based card. Elite Card Pro wins when you want keyword search to be found later, a Connections Dashboard to organize every relationship, and one-tap templated texts that personalize automatically.
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, polished app-based card.

Blinq is a self-serve app with a free tier. Elite Card Pro is a premium physical card that is searchable by keyword so clients find you by what you do, backed by a Connections Dashboard, one-tap templated follow-up texts, and Google review placards as an option.
Blinq has a free individual plan; Elite Card Pro starts at $150/year. The difference is capability — Elite includes a physical premium card with free replacements, keyword search, a Connections Dashboard, and templated follow-up texts, rather than software you configure yourself.
