Wave Connect is a great low-cost card. Elite Card Pro is the upgrade for businesses that want to be found by keyword, follow up in one tap, and get it all set up for them by a real 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 Wave Connect 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 budget-friendly digital business card with one of the most generous free plans and simple no-app sharing.
Best for: individuals and small teams on a budget who want a free, simple card.
