Linq vs V1CE: Which Digital Business Card Is Better in 2025?

So You Googled “LINQ Alternative”... Let’s Chat.

If you’ve searched “LINQ alternative” or “smart business card” and wondered if there’s something better, you’re in the right place.

We’ve got a lot of respect for LINQ. They’ve carved out a space, gone hard on the sales and lead-gen angle, and they’re coming for a slice of Salesforce’s apple pie. Their founder's pretty funny on Instagram too, fair play. Anyway, enough fan-girling.

At V1CE, we’re the number one alternative to LINQ if you're looking for a digital business card that makes an impression. From premium physical cards with serious variation, to custom digital profiles with full video backgrounds, built-in lead capture and link-in-bio functionality.

If you're after an all-in-one fix for your networking problem and want to enjoy the benefits of a modern digital business card, keep reading.

Where LINQ Shines

LINQ have built something innovative, especially for people in sales-heavy roles.

Their platform is easy to use. You're up and running straight out of the box. You’re not fiddling around or stuck in menus, you're just set up and ready to go. One thing they've nailed is the ability to add multiple links per profile, which makes it way more flexible than some of the one-link-per-card setups you still see floating around.

LINQ cards are particularly effective at networking events, enhancing connectivity and streamlining professional interactions. Attendees can easily share their contact information and make a lasting impression on potential clients and partners.

And more recently, they’ve started moving into the CRM space, letting users send follow-ups directly from their platform, even with verified “blue tick" messages. For anyone in sales, networking, real estate, or any other lead-driven field, their CRM integrations make it a solid, no-fuss option.

Why People Look for Alternatives to LINQ Cards
