mcard vs the rest

Same idea. More taste.

dotcard and lcard both make digital business cards. So do we — but mcard lets you design the whole thing free, charges one flat price to publish, and never sells you plastic or per-seat add-ons.

mcardThat's us

Design free, $99/yr to share

Nine handcrafted templates, a real library, tap-to-exchange, and lead capture — all under one flat price with no hardware to buy.

dotcardCompetitor

NFC-first, tiered plans

Built around physical NFC products and team seats. Capable, but the good analytics and lead tools live behind higher tiers.

lcardCompetitor

Simple, subscription-based

A straightforward digital card. Lighter on the library, exchange, and lead-capture tooling that mcard ships by default.

Where mcard pulls ahead

01

Design free, decide later.

Build and polish the entire card before you spend a cent. The paid plan only unlocks publishing — not the design tools.

02

One price, no add-ons.

A flat $99/year covers the public link, QR, lead capture, analytics, and custom domains. No tiers, no per-seat math, no hardware.

03

Built to be remembered.

Nine handcrafted templates, tap-to-exchange, and co-cards mean people actually keep your card instead of forgetting it.
