HiHello gives one person two free cards and five scans a month, and teams of five to 100 get cards and Gmail or Outlook signatures under one brand. It sells no NFC cards, CRM sync needs a five-user Business plan, and Professional costs more if you buy it in the iPhone app. - **Value for money: C.** Professional is $6 a month on yearly billing for one person, and Business $5 a user with five users at least, which is this category's middle. Bought in the iOS app, Professional is $9 a month or $84 a year, against $8 and $72 on the website. - **Free plan and trial: B.** Personal is free with no time limit: 2 cards, sharing by QR, widget, SMS, WhatsApp and wallet, a personal email signature and 5 card or badge scans a month. One person can live on that unless they scan a lot. - **Features: C.** Cards, a scanner with enrichment from Professional, signatures deployed to Gmail and Outlook, lead forms, CRM sync and a company directory. The listing's gap: HiHello sells no NFC cards, so a tap means writing your card to a tag you already own. - **Ease of use: A.** HiHello rates 4.9 on the US App Store from 45,197 ratings, the top of our ease ladder. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, iPhone and Android, with Salesforce, HubSpot, Dynamics 365, Google Contacts, Gmail, Outlook, Zoom and Entra ID.
