Which one is for you
Pick Dot if
- Fits if you want an NFC card or sticker for $30 once and no subscription
- Works for people who'd rather share contacts without either side installing an app
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a phone app, as Dot runs only in the browser
- Pricey if you want the card scanner, contact export or your own logo, which need Profile+ at $12 a month yearly or $15 monthly
- Not for you if you need CRM sync at a listed price: Salesforce, HubSpot and Zapier are on dot.Teams Growth, which is quoted
- Tight if you're staying free, since insights only go back 7 days and dot. branding stays on your profile
Pick Mobilo if
- Fits if you want a physical NFC card and a lead form on a low yearly plan
- Works for event staff who switch a card between a contact card and a lead form
Look elsewhere if
- Watch out: plans are billed yearly only and all sales are final, so cancelling after purchase or renewal brings no refund
- Tight if you're staying free, as lead capture, the card scanner and CRM links all need Pro
- Not for you if you need team controls on Pro: the admin panel, Microsoft and Google sign-in and team analytics start on Teams
- Watch out: the low card prices are a sale; normally a custom card is $39, wood $59 and metal $139
- Skip it if you want a custom landing page or white-glove onboarding with under 100 seats
How we grade them
| 2.4GPADotFair | 2.6GPAMobiloGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CProfile+ is $12 a month on yearly billing ($15 monthly), and dot.Teams Essential $8 a user, both above this category's dearer quarter at $7.50 but short of its dearest tenth. A dot.card is $30 once and the free profile asks nothing more. | BPro is $3 a month billed yearly and Teams $4 a user, inside this category's cheapest quarter, which starts at $4.99. A custom NFC card is normally $39 once, and plans come only on yearly billing. |
| Free plan and trial | Bdot.Profile is free for life: unlimited links, 190+ themes, two-way contact exchange, basic contact management and wallet passes. One person can share on that; insights stop at 7 days and the scanner and export are Profile+. | CThe wallet card is free, with photos, a logo and 40+ social links, shared by tap or QR. Collecting the other person's details, the card scanner and CRM links all need Pro, so you'll hit that quickly. |
| Features | CCards, stickers, bands and a counter display, a profile with unlimited links, two-way exchange, follow-up reminders, branded QR codes and team templates. The listing's gaps: no mobile app, and CRM sync only on the quoted Growth plan. | CNFC cards with modes that switch between a contact card, a landing page and a lead form, unlimited lead capture, a scanner, AI lead scoring and a team admin panel. The listing's gap: the pages read don't name the native CRM integrations. |
| Ease of use | BNo store rating on record. You set up the profile in your phone's browser and share it by tap or QR, with no app to install on either side. | BMobilo rates 4.7 on the US App Store from 740 ratings, short of the 1,000 ratings an A needs. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only: no iPhone or Android app, so everything runs in the phone's browser and wallet passes. Salesforce, HubSpot and Zapier sync exist only on the quoted dot.Teams Growth plan. | BWeb, iPhone and Android, with Zapier to 6,000+ apps, Microsoft Azure Active Directory sync and Apple and Google Wallet. No desktop app. |

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.
