Blinq vs Tapni (2026): which should you pick?

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 Tapni if

• Fits if you want people to tap your card and see a profile you can change without reprinting
• Works for teams that want to manage everyone's cards from one dashboard

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you want to try before you buy, as there's no free plan or trial
• Pricey if you want metal, at $49.90 against $29.90 for a standard card
• Watch out: the pricing page shows a Pro upgrade for individuals with no visible price
• Watch out: SSO, SCIM and advanced CRM mapping are Enterprise features sold through sales
