CamCard

Which one is for you
Pick Blinq if
- Fits if you want one free card that people open from a QR code or a wallet pass
- Works for event teams that scan badges and send the leads to a CRM they already use
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you capture a lot of leads: each one captured and enriched on Business costs $9.99 on top, and bulk packs are sold through sales
- Tight if you're a team of two or three, since Business bills five cards at least, about $24.95 a month on yearly billing
- Not for you if you want CRM sync for yourself alone, as Premium covers one person and sync, templates and lead capture need Business
- Watch out: the scanner and contact export are Premium, and enforced SSO and SCIM need Enterprise
- Skip it if you'd rather set up your card on a computer, because cards are made in the phone app
Pick CamCard if
- Fits if you scan lots of paper cards and want them to land in Salesforce or Dynamics
- Works for sales teams that want shared contacts, tags and task assignment
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you need a price on the page: team plans are a request form
- Watch out: the digital card features and the scanning features sit in two different team products
- Tight if you want a free plan, as only a 10-day trial of the business plans is listed
- Not for you if you want to work from a computer, as the listing shows iOS and Android apps only

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
