The report card
Best for scanning business cards and conference badges for leads
ScanBizCards scans business cards and event badges and exports leads to CRMs, with human transcription for the cards the OCR misses. The free plan only adds contacts to your address book, and Sales Ninja is $100 a user a year with a limit on transcriptions.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Sales Ninja is $100 a user a year, about $8.33 a month, which is just above the $8 where this category's dearer quarter starts. Extra transcription credits are one-time packs such as 100 for $25. |
| Free plan and trial | B | The free plan is free for life and covers scanning cards and badges into the address book. It includes only 2 human transcriptions, one time only, and CRM export is paid. |
| Features | C | Scanning, batch scanning, human transcription, CRM export and a scan API. It's a scanner, not a digital card you share, and CRM export, cloud backup and the admin panel are paid. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. Paid use means connecting a CRM and setting up an admin panel and lead assignment. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | iPhone and Android apps only, with an API and CRM export. |

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
The plain part of ScanBizCards you could make: digital business card. What surrounds it you could not. The 5 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 9 of the 13 other digital business cards grade higher. It costs $100 a year.
What you could make
- Digital business card: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Speech turned into text you can trust.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- It plugs into other products, Salesforce among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. ScanBizCards’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
