mcardThat's us
Design free, $99/yr to share
Nine handcrafted templates, a real library, scan-to-exchange, and lead capture — all under one flat price with no hardware to buy.
mcard vs the rest
Same idea. More taste.
Popl and HiHello 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.
PoplCompetitor
NFC-first, per-seat plans
Popl is built around NFC hardware — tap cards, bands, stickers — with a freemium app on top. Capable and team-friendly, but the lead tools and deeper analytics live behind paid, per-seat tiers.
HiHelloCompetitor
Friendly freemium, per-seat
HiHello is a friendly freemium card app with a nice business-card scanner. As you scale, custom branding, analytics, and team features move behind Pro/Business tiers billed per seat.

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, scan-to-exchange, and co-cards mean people actually keep your card instead of forgetting it.
