HiHello vs ScanBizCards (2026): which should you pick?

Pick HiHello if

• Fits if you want a free card with a few paper card scans a month
• Works for teams of 5 to 100 that want signatures pushed to Gmail or Outlook

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a physical NFC card from the same company, as HiHello sells none and you'd write your card to your own tag
• Tight if your team is under five, since Business bills five users at least, $25 a month on yearly billing
• Not for you if you need CRM sync on your own: it needs Business, and SSO, SCIM and the contact webhook need Enterprise
• Pricey if you upgrade inside the iPhone app, at $9 a month or $84 a year against $8 and $72 on the website
• Watch out: Business stops at 100 users, and the lower per-user prices from 26 and 51 users aren't published

Pick ScanBizCards if

• Fits if you collect leads at trade shows and want badges and cards scanned into a CRM
• Works for teams of up to 50 users that want one admin panel and lead assignment

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you want a digital card to share, as the site describes no NFC card or shareable profile
• Tight if you stay on the free plan: it only adds contacts to the address book and includes 2 human transcriptions, once
• Watch out: human transcription is capped at 100 per user a year on Sales Ninja, and extra packs cost $25 per 100
• Watch out: Sales Ninja covers up to 50 users, and bigger teams are quoted
• Not for you if you work from a computer, as only iOS and Android apps are listed

HiHello

• Business needs at least five users ($25 a month on yearly billing) and stops at 100; larger teams move to Enterprise.
• CRM sync, Gmail and Outlook signature deployment and the admin dashboard need Business; SAML SSO, SCIM and a contact webhook need Enterprise.
• HiHello sells no NFC cards: you write your card to an NFC tag you already own.
• Professional bought in the iOS app costs $9 a month or $84 a year, against $8 and $72 on the website.

ScanBizCards

• It is a scanner and contact manager, not a digital card you share: its site describes no NFC card or shareable profile page.
• CRM export, cloud backup and the admin panel are on the paid Sales Ninja plan; the free plan only adds contacts to the address book.
• Human transcription is limited: 2 on the free plan (one time only), 100 per user per year on Sales Ninja, and extra credits are one-time packs such as 100 for $25.
• Sales Ninja covers teams of up to 50 users, and the site lists only iOS and Android apps.
