Quick summary

Mobilo makes a good card. But Pro is free for 90 days and then billed yearly, and Mobilo's terms say there's no refund after a renewal. V1CE is my pick for most people leaving Mobilo. The card is $83 once, the software is free for life, and there's nothing to renew. If you want a cheap card you pay for once, look at Tapni. If you don't need a card at all, look at Blinq or HiHello. I checked every price on each tool's own pages, most on November 2, 2026.

Looking for a Mobilo card alternative?

Mobilo does the card part well. You tap it on a phone, or they scan the QR code, and your profile opens. Mobilo designs it for you and ships it within 48 hours of approving the design.

The trouble is the bill after the card. Pro comes free for the first 90 days. Then it's $3 a month, billed yearly. Mobilo's Pro page says renewals can't be refunded.

That's what Mobilo's unhappy customers write about. On Trustpilot, all 10 one star reviews from August to October 2026 are about charges.

One of our own customers came to us from Mobilo. What they needed: "Need to be able to have different profiles (social, business)."

If that sounds familiar, here are 8 alternatives. I checked every card price, plan and yearly bill on each tool's own pages.

Why listen to us

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 Mobilo or a rival wins, I say so.

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

What is Mobilo, and what does it cost?

Mobilo sells NFC business cards with a QR code, plus a software plan. Tap the card on a phone, or scan the code, and your profile opens with nothing to install. You order the card, then Mobilo designs it with you. It prints and ships within 48 hours of your design approval.

Here's what it costs, from Mobilo's own pages on November 2, 2026:

Mobilo pricing page, November 2026

Cards (list price): Mobilo Branded $19.99. Custom Design $39. Wood $59. Metal $139. Paper Plus $39.99. On November 2, a sale banner cut most cards by 50% to 75%.

Pro: free for the first 90 days with a card. Then $3 a month for one person, billed yearly ($36 a year).

Teams: $4 a month per person, billed yearly.

Business: $5 a month per person, billed yearly. Talk to sales.

Refunds and cancelling: Mobilo's Pro page says "Cancellations requested after purchase or renewal are not eligible for a refund." You cancel by email.

If you downgrade: Mobilo's Pro page says your cards "will start showing Mobilo branding," and team data and integrations are lost.

Where Mobilo wins: the cards look good and customers like the design help. One reviewer wrote in October 2026 that the team "created and design my customized card and it was cool." The app has 4.6 stars from 740 ratings on the App Store. Teams get CRM integrations, and Mobilo says Salesforce and HubSpot are native.

Where it gets expensive: Pro is cheap, but it's a yearly bill that renews unless you stop it. Miss the date and the refund window has closed.

Why look beyond Mobilo?

I read Mobilo's critical reviews on Trustpilot, where it sits at 3.3 from 312 reviews. Three complaints come up again and again.

1. Charges people didn't expect

One customer wrote in October 2026 that "they will charge you without any warning. Even when they previously stated no charge will be made."

Another wrote in August 2026: "Signed up for a free account, then they surprise billed a year later. No email warning."

2. No refund after a renewal

In October 2026, a customer was charged $180 for a yearly plan and cancelled the same day. "They refused, citing a no-refund clause in their terms of service."

3. A cancel flow that fights back

"Cancelling a Mobilo subscription should not be this difficult," one customer wrote in September 2026.

One more, for balance: a reviewer in October 2026 said the card "Worked with android but not iphones." Mobilo replied that it works on iPhones.

So this list looks for the opposite: prices up front, and a card that keeps working without a bill you forgot about.

What you get free on V1CE that others charge for

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. Mobilo keeps native Salesforce and HubSpot for Teams, at $4 a person a month. Blinq charges $4.99 a card a month with a 5 card minimum, and HiHello $5 a user a month with a 5 user minimum. Wave charges $7 a month 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. Blinq, HiHello, 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, 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. Wave charges 4 credits a badge, at $2.50 a credit. Popl puts it on its team plan, priced by quote. HiHello gives 5 paper card or badge scans a month free. 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. Blinq, Popl, HiHello, 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.

No V1CE logo on your page: free. Without Mobilo Pro, at $36 a year after 90 days, cards show Mobilo branding. Blinq charges $7.33 a month and Wave $7 a month to remove theirs, billed yearly.

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.

How do the 8 Mobilo card alternatives compare?

V1CE is mine, so judge it on the reasons. The rest are in order of public reviews, most first. I checked prices on each tool's own pricing page, shop or App Store listing, most on November 2, 2026 and the rest on November 1. Ratings were read in October and November 2026. "Free" means on the free plan. "Not stated" means I couldn't find it on their own pages.

How to switch from Mobilo

Save your contacts first, then stop the renewal. Follow these steps in order.

1. Find your renewal date

Pro is free for 90 days, then billed yearly. Mobilo's Pro page says renewals can't be refunded, so cancel before that date. Mobilo says you cancel by email.

2. Export your contacts

Do it while your plan is active. Mobilo's FAQ says to log in at app.mobilocard.com, open the Leads tab and use the export button at the top right. Mobilo's Pro page says team data is lost after a downgrade.

3. 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.

4. Hand out the new card

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