Best Digital Business Cards in the UK (2026): 8 Compared on Price and Features

Short answer: Lets Connect is the best digital business card for UK professionals and small businesses in 2026. It is free to start, the paid plans are a single payment instead of a monthly fee, and the digital business card comes with a CRM, bookings, forms, reviews and a card scanner built in. You can check every claim on this page yourself in the live demo.

Key takeaways

• Best overall: Lets Connect. Free digital business card, lifetime plans from £49, and the follow-up tools are included.
• Lowest three-year cost with branding and lead tools: Lets Connect at £49 to £99 once. The monthly-plan cards cost US$216 to US$597 over the same three years.
• Closest alternative on pay-once pricing: V1CE, which needs a card purchase from £60 to begin.
• Strongest free scanner on a subscription product: Blinq, though branding, export and bookings sit on its paid plans.
• Best fit for large companies already on Salesforce or HubSpot with single sign-on: Blinq or HiHello team plans.

We make Lets Connect, so we have not asked you to take our word for it. Every competitor price and feature below was read from that company's own public pricing page on 12 November 2026, and every Lets Connect feature links to a page where you can try it.

How we compared the digital business cards

Most "best digital business card" lists are written by one of the companies on the list. This one is too, so here is exactly how it was put together, and you can repeat it.

What we read. The public pricing page of each provider, on 12 November 2026. Where a provider does not publish a price, we say so instead of estimating.

What we scored. Five things a buyer actually pays for or uses:

1. Cost over three years. A card that is cheap in month one can be the most expensive by year three. We multiplied each published monthly price by 36.
2. How you pay. Once, or every month.
3. What happens after the tap. Can the card capture the other person's details, and can you follow up without buying more software?
4. What the card can show. Is it a contact page, or a small website for your business?
5. What you need to start. Can you begin free, with no hardware and no payment details?

What we did not do. We did not buy and test every competitor's physical card, and we did not use star ratings from app stores, because they measure the app, not the cost or the follow-up.

Price comparison: what each digital business card costs

Prices are each vendor's public list price on 12 November 2026, in the currency they publish. They can change and may exclude tax.

The same comparison over one, three and five years

A subscription keeps charging. A one-off payment does not. This is what one person pays for a branded digital business card with lead tools:

Feature comparison: what is included, and on which plan

This table covers the five providers that publish enough detail to compare line by line. "Paid" means the feature is on a paid plan, with the plan named.

"Not listed" means the feature does not appear on that provider's pricing page; it may exist elsewhere in their product.

1. Lets Connect: best digital business card overall

Best for: freelancers, consultants, founders, tradespeople and small businesses who want one digital business card that also runs their follow-up.

Price: free, or £49 to £99 once. NFC cards are a separate one-off purchase.

A live Lets Connect card. This is the public demo profile, not a mock-up: open it yourself.

Why it comes first

You can start for nothing. The free plan gives you a digital business card with your own link and QR code, with no card details needed. Create a free card.

You pay once. Lifetime plans start at £49, and all the business tools together are £99 as a single payment. A physical NFC card is a one-off purchase too. The other digital business cards in this comparison that offer branding and lead tools to an individual charge between US$72 and US$199 every year for them.

The follow-up is built in. This is the part most cards leave to other software. With Lets Connect you get, inside the same dashboard:

• Lead capture. Visitors leave their name, email and phone before saving your contact.
• A CRM. Contacts move through a seven-stage pipeline, on a board or in a list, with notes, tasks and CSV export. Leads from bookings, forms, enquiries and subscribers are imported automatically.
• A card scanner. Photograph a paper card and it becomes a contact in your CRM.
• Bookings. People reserve a slot from your card using the availability you set.
• Enquiry forms and custom forms. Build your own questions.
• Review links. One tap to leave a review on Google, Trustpilot, Facebook or TripAdvisor.
• Analytics. Views, unique visitors, button taps and where leads were captured.

The card is a small website. Beyond contact details, a Lets Connect digital business card can carry a blog, a products and services catalogue, a gallery, testimonials, downloadable documents, a newsletter sign-up and a timeline for posts, videos and polls. There are 39 designer templates, password protection, and an Apple Wallet and Google Wallet pass.

No app, on either side. The card opens in the phone's browser on iPhone and Android.

• Interactive demo: tap the card and follow the whole journey, then open the demo dashboard.
• A real card: booking, enquiry form, blog, gallery and custom forms on one profile.
• Every feature, and pricing.

Where it is not the right choice

Lets Connect team plans are billed per seat. A company of several hundred people that needs enforced single sign-on and a direct Salesforce connection should compare team plans carefully.

2. Blinq

Best for: individuals who want a polished free card and mainly need to scan other people's cards.

Price: Free; Premium US$7.33 a month; Pro US$16.58 a month; Business US$4.99 a month per card from five cards (all billed yearly).

Blinq has a good free plan with two digital business cards, a contact scanner and Wallet passes. Branding costs extra: removing Blinq's branding and using your own colours needs Premium. Exporting your contacts and taking bookings needs Pro. Lead forms and CRM connections are on the Business plan for teams of five or more. Over three years, Pro costs about US$597 for one person.

Compared with Lets Connect: Blinq connects to a CRM you already pay for; Lets Connect includes one. Export and bookings are part of Lets Connect's one-off plan, and part of Blinq's most expensive individual plan. See Lets Connect vs Blinq.

3. HiHello

Best for: companies that want cards and email signatures managed together.

Price: Free; Professional US$6 a month (US$72 billed yearly); Business US$5 a user a month from five users.

HiHello's free plan includes two digital business cards and five paper-card scans a month. Custom colours, branded QR codes and analytics start with Professional. Lead capture forms and Salesforce, HubSpot and Microsoft Dynamics connections are on the Business plan, from five users.

Compared with Lets Connect: analytics and lead capture are part of a yearly plan; with Lets Connect they are part of a one-off payment, and available to one person. See Lets Connect vs HiHello.

4. Wave Connect

Best for: people who want a free card with a simple lead form.

Price: Free; Pro US$7 a month; Teams US$5 a user a month from three users (billed yearly).

Wave's free plan includes a lead capture form, two-way contact exchange and Wallet passes. Custom branding, a custom lead form and CRM sync need Pro. Its own pricing page lists "Book a meeting" as coming soon.

Compared with Lets Connect: Wave syncs leads to another CRM on a paid plan; Lets Connect keeps them in its own pipeline, with bookings available today.

5. V1CE

Best for: buyers who want a designed physical card first and software second.

Price: card from £60 once; optional Client Capture OS at £50 a month.

V1CE is the closest to Lets Connect in approach: you buy a card once, and the software that comes with it includes lead capture, a CRM and bookings. Its AI tools are a separate plan at £50 a month, its free plan allows one booking link, and it takes a 5% fee on services you sell through your page unless you are on the paid plan.

Compared with Lets Connect: V1CE needs a card purchase to begin. Lets Connect starts free with no card, and its lifetime plans start below the price of V1CE's entry card. See Lets Connect vs V1CE.

6. Mobilo

Best for: sales teams that want inexpensive cards in volume.

Price: cards from US$9.50; Team plan US$4 a month per card.

Mobilo sells NFC cards with its Pro plan included for the first 90 days. Team management, data controls and CRM connections are on the Team plan.

Compared with Lets Connect: check what the plan costs after the first 90 days before you buy. See Lets Connect vs Mobilo.

7. Popl

Best for: event marketing teams with a budget for badge scanning.

Price: not published; by custom quote.

Popl now focuses on event lead capture for sales teams, with badge scanning and data enrichment. Its site says pricing for both teams and individuals is by custom quote.

Compared with Lets Connect: for an individual or a small business, a published one-off price is easier to plan around. See Lets Connect vs Popl.

8. TAPiTAG

Best for: buyers who mainly want NFC review tags.

Price: not published in one place.

TAPiTAG is a UK seller of NFC business cards and review tags for Google, Trustpilot, TripAdvisor and social profiles. Its own FAQ says its Teams and Check-In products include software subscription or renewal charges.

Compared with Lets Connect: TAPiTAG starts with a card purchase. Lets Connect starts free with no card, includes a CRM, bookings and forms in a one-off plan, and sells its own NFC review cards as well.

What to check before you choose a digital business card

Ask these five questions of any provider, including us:

1. What will I have paid in three years? Multiply the monthly price by 36 and add the card.
2. What happens to my card if I stop paying? With a one-off plan there is nothing to stop.
3. Where do my leads go? Into a list you can work, or into another product you also pay for?
4. Can I get my data out? Look for CSV export, and check which plan it is on.
5. Does the other person need an app? If they do, many will not bother.

Which digital business card should you choose?

• You want to try a digital business card today, for nothing: Lets Connect's free plan.
• You want branding, lead capture and follow-up without a monthly bill: Lets Connect, £49 to £99 once.
• You want a physical card designed for you and are happy to buy it first: Lets Connect NFC cards, or V1CE.
• You already run Salesforce or HubSpot across a large company and need single sign-on: Blinq or HiHello's team plans are built around that.
