Looking for a Popl alternative?

Here's what Popl and mcard each do, what they cost for one person and for a team, and where mcard falls short — with a source for every Popl fact.

mcardThat's us

1 card free, $99/yr for every card

Nine handcrafted layouts. One card live free, with its link, QR code and Google Wallet pass. $99 a year puts every card live with a page under it, a lead inbox, alerts, CSV export, webhooks and analytics. A team: $129 per seat a year, with a shared brand kit and one bill.

PoplCompetitor

Now an event lead-capture platform, quote-only pricing

Popl now leads with events (its homepage calls it an AI GTM platform for in-person events). It has a free plan, and lead capture is on every plan, with export on Pro and up and custom forms on Pro+ and Teams. Paid pricing is by quote, with "no seat restrictions". It also offers paper business card scanning, contact and lead management, and an email signature creator. Its digital card needs no hardware.

Not in the table because we didn't check Popl for these.

  • 9 handcrafted layouts, plus 13 style controls and 10 presets
  • A page under the card: 11 section types (gallery, video, testimonials, lead form and more)
  • Turn your own paper card into your mcard from a photo (AI)
  • Exchange: when you're both on mcard, a QR or 6-character code puts each card in the other's library
  • Lead webhooks to Zapier, Make or your own endpoint
  • Two cards on one page (co-cards) and a full-screen kiosk view for events
  • Works with any NFC tag you program with your link (we don't sell tags right now)
  • Design every layout and section free, with no time limit, and keep one card live free

Where mcard falls short

Better you hear it from us than find out after you've paid.

  • The free plan puts one card live, without lead capture or analytics; those and your other cards need the paid plan
  • No Apple Wallet pass yet (Google Wallet works today)
  • Doesn't scan other people's paper cards into your contacts
  • No native CRM sync: leads go to Zapier, Make or your own endpoint by webhook
  • No custom domains: your card lives at mcardapp.com/c/your-name
  • Not the cheapest: several apps have lower per-person prices
