The 8 Best HiHello Alternatives in 2026 (Prices, and Which Sell a Card)

HiHello does the digital part well. Your card opens in their browser, and the free plan costs nothing for one person.

The gap is the moment you meet someone. HiHello doesn't sell a card, so there's nothing to put in their hand. One reviewer put it plainly in November 2024: "you can't hand it out like an actual business card."

Teams hit a second wall. CRM sync needs the Business plan, and Business starts at 5 users.

One of our own customers compared us with HiHello before buying. Their words: "understanding the difference between what you offer vs a HiHello gets confusing. Lot's of choice."

8 alternatives follow, each priced from its own pages, so the difference is plain.

I'm Haydn, and I started V1CE.

More than 510,000 professionals now use V1CE. Teams at SpaceX, Lotus Cars and Air Canada carry our cards.

One result I'm proud of: Lotus Cars cut the time spent typing contacts into their CRM by 75% and saved $18,000 a year. James Woodward, their Head of IT Business Partnering, tells the story here:

I built V1CE, so I'm not neutral. That's why every tool below gets its real price, its public rating where it has one, and an honest verdict. Where HiHello or a rival wins, I say so.

V1CE sits at 4.4 on Trustpilot from 1,100 reviews.

HiHello is a digital business card app. You share your card by QR code, link, text, email or your phone's wallet, and it opens in their browser. It also makes email signatures, video call backgrounds and a company directory. HiHello says more than 2 million professionals use it.

HiHello doesn't sell cards. Its own site says "HiHello doesn't sell or supply NFC products." You can write your HiHello card to an NFC tag you buy yourself.

HiHello's prices, from its pricing page on November 2, 2026:

Personal: free forever, for 1 person. 2 cards, Apple and Google Wallet, and 5 paper card or badge scans a month.

Professional: $6 a month billed yearly ($72 a year), or $8 billed monthly. 8 cards, card analytics and 20 scans a month.

Business: $5 per user a month billed yearly, or $6 monthly. 5 users minimum, so it starts at $25 a month. It adds Salesforce, HubSpot and Microsoft Dynamics, team email signatures and 50 scans per user a month. 14 days free.

Enterprise: 100 users or more, priced by quote.

Cancelling: HiHello says you can cancel Professional or Business any time from your account settings. Access runs to the end of your billing period.

Where HiHello wins: the plans and scan limits are on the page, and the free plan is generous for one person. It's rated 4.6 on Trustpilot from 265 reviews and 4.6 on G2 from 1,035. Teams get email signatures and a directory on the same plan as CRM sync.

Where it falls short: there's no card to hand over, and a team of 3 still pays for 5 seats.

HiHello's reviews are mostly happy. On November 2, 2026, only 7 of its 265 Trustpilot reviews were one or two stars, and most of those are from 2024 and 2025. But the same three complaints run through them.

1. Nothing to hand over

"People just want a business card not another app," one reviewer wrote in June 2024. HiHello's answer is a tag you buy and set up yourself.

2. Extra steps for the person you meet

In September 2024, a reviewer said a card "shouldn't take them to a 3rd party website, to download an app, setup that app with login information and only then allow them to save that contact."

3. Surprises on a paid plan

In March 2025, a Professional subscriber wrote that "anyone that chooses to share their contact details with me is then forced to view an advertisement."

In July 2024, a customer moved on after 3 months and asked for the rest of a yearly plan back. "They refused."

So this list looks for the opposite: a card you can hand over, and a way for their details to come straight back to you.

Most tools give you a free page, then charge for what happens after the tap. V1CE's free plan includes the parts people usually pay for. Here's what's free on V1CE, and what the tools on this page charge for the same thing. You can make your own call.

CRM sync: free on V1CE. HiHello keeps it for Business, at $5 a user a month with a 5 user minimum. Blinq charges $4.99 a card a month with a 5 card minimum, and Wave $7 a month. Mobilo charges $4 a person a month on Teams, and Tapni $59.90 a user a year. All are billed yearly. Dot and Popl price it by quote.

Follow up emails that send themselves: free on V1CE. Wave gives them free too. HiHello, Blinq, Dot, Tapni and Mobilo don't list them.

Export your contacts: free on V1CE. Blinq charges $16.58 a month on Pro, billed yearly, and Dot $144 a year for Profile+. Popl charges for export too. Wave's CSV export is free.

Views, taps and scans: free on V1CE, with email opens and who shared your details. HiHello charges $6 a month for card analytics on Professional, billed yearly. Blinq keeps analytics for a paid plan, and Tapni for Tapni Pro. Wave's are free.

A booking link: 1 free on V1CE, with a scheduler built in, so you don't need Calendly. Blinq charges $16.58 a month for booking on Pro. Wave only lets you add an outside booking link.

Event badge scanning: free on V1CE. HiHello gives 5 paper card or badge scans a month free, and 20 a month on Professional. Wave charges 4 credits a badge, at $2.50 a credit. Popl puts it on its team plan, priced by quote. Blinq's free plan has a universal contact scanner, and puts event badge capture on Business at $9.99 a contact.

Sell your services, with checkout: free on V1CE, with a 5% fee on what you sell. HiHello, Blinq, Popl, Wave, Dot, Tapni and Mobilo don't list it at any price.

Agreements and contracts signed in the app: 10 a month free on V1CE. The same seven tools don't list it.

A video and voice intro: free on V1CE. HiHello charges $6 a month for branded video on Professional.

No V1CE logo on your page: free. Blinq charges $7.33 a month and Wave $7 a month to remove theirs, billed yearly. Without Mobilo Pro, cards show Mobilo branding.

Also free on V1CE, as on several tools here: a wallet pass, QR code, email signature, two way exchange and no cap on contacts.

The free plan has limits: 1 page, 1 booking link, 3 runs a month of the other AI tools and a 5% fee on what you sell. Card scans stay unlimited. See everything on the free plan.

Take your contacts with you first, then cancel. Follow these steps in order.

1. Export your contacts

HiHello's Help Center says to open Settings in the web app or the mobile app and choose Export Contacts. Enter your email, and a spreadsheet of your contacts arrives by email. On Business, an admin can export the whole team's contacts from the admin profile.

2. Import them into V1CE

Save the file as a CSV if it isn't one already. Log in at app.v1ce.co and open CRM. Choose Import and upload your CSV. Match the columns to name, email, phone, company and job title, then confirm.

3. Cancel HiHello

HiHello says you can cancel Professional or Business any time from your account settings. Your access runs to the end of the billing period.

4. Hand out the new card

Your V1CE page opens on their phone with nothing to install, and their details come back to you.
