Linq Digital Business Card: Pricing, Review & Comparison
A straight comparison of the Linq digital business card and Bl1nk — an NFC card and digital profile tool vs the AI-powered digital business card app — for teams that turn real-world meetings into pipeline.
Linq is a digital business card app with NFC cards, digital profiles and event lead capture, aimed heavily at teams and enterprises. Linq does not maintain a simple public price list — team pricing typically involves a sales conversation. Bl1nk covers the same capture ground, adds an AI assistant that qualifies and captures visitors, scores leads and drafts follow-ups, and publishes its pricing: free for 2 seats, then $5 per seat per month.
Linq is the closest of these tools to Bl1nk — both are digital business card apps with NFC cards, digital profiles and lead capture for teams. The decider is AI. Bl1nk puts an AI assistant on your profile that qualifies and captures visitors, then scores the lead, detects buying signals, remembers the meeting and drafts the follow-up — none of which Linq does — at a published $5/seat. If you want the tightest path from a tap to a qualified, followed-up lead, Bl1nk wins.

Linq pricing
We could not verify Linq’s current prices against a public price list on linqapp.com when we checked in August 2026, so — unlike the other pages in this series — we won’t quote numbers here. Here is how the tiers are structured instead.
Pricing checked August 2026 against Linq’s own site. We only print prices we can verify on the vendor’s own site. Linq’s pricing was not visible to our check in August 2026 — confirm directly with Linq before budgeting. For comparison, Bl1nk is free for up to 2 seats, then $5 per seat/month ($4 annual) — see Bl1nk pricing.
Linq review: the verdict
Linq is a credible, enterprise-leaning digital business card platform — NFC cards, digital profiles and real event lead capture, with an ecosystem built for large rollouts. It is probably the closest non-AI competitor to Bl1nk on the capture side. The two drawbacks for a smaller team: pricing is not straightforward to see without talking to sales, and there is no AI layer — no assistant on the profile, no lead scoring, no buying signals, no follow-up drafting. If you are rolling out hundreds of cards through procurement, shortlist Linq; if you want to start free today and let AI work the leads, that is Bl1nk’s territory.
- NFC cards, digital profiles and event lead capture in one ecosystem
- Enterprise focus — a fit for large, standardised rollouts
- Closest non-AI competitor to Bl1nk on the capture workflow
- Pricing is hard to evaluate without a sales conversation
- No AI assistant, lead scoring, interest signals or follow-up drafting
- Heavier motion for small teams that just want to sign up and go
Why teams choose Bl1nk over Linq
- An AI Lead Assistant qualifies and captures visitors on your profile — Linq has no AI agent.
- AI scoring, enrichment and buying-interest signals prioritise every lead automatically.
- AI meeting memory and follow-up drafting handle the work after the conversation.
- Native CRM sync and AI routing keep follow-up specific.
- Published $5/seat/month with a free plan — no sales call required.
- One platform for NFC, QR, forms and email signatures.
If you’re standardising a very large enterprise on an established vendor and don’t need AI capture or scoring, Linq’s ecosystem is a credible option.
Frequently asked questions
How much does the Linq digital business card cost?
Linq does not maintain a public price list we could verify (checked August 2026) — individual plans start from a free basic profile, and team pricing typically involves a sales conversation, with NFC hardware sold separately. We only quote prices we can verify, so confirm current numbers with Linq directly. Bl1nk publishes its pricing: free for up to 2 seats, then $5 per seat/month ($4 annual).
Bl1nk or Linq — which is better for capturing leads?
Both capture leads well; Bl1nk’s edge is the AI. An AI assistant qualifies and captures visitors on your profile, then scores the lead, flags buying signals and drafts the follow-up automatically — Linq doesn’t offer that layer.
Does Linq have a free plan?
Linq offers a free basic digital profile, with paid upgrades for individuals and sales-assisted pricing for teams — check linqapp.com for current details. Bl1nk’s free plan covers up to 2 seats and includes lead forms and a trial of the AI Lead Assistant.
How does Bl1nk pricing compare to Linq?
Bl1nk is free for up to 2 seats and $5 per seat per month after that ($4 annual), with custom Enterprise pricing — all published. Linq is often quote-based for teams, so request current pricing from Linq to compare directly.
Can Bl1nk handle a whole team like Linq?
Yes. Bl1nk offers shared workspaces, roles, analytics, CRM routing and Enterprise SSO/white-label, plus the AI capture and follow-up layer on top.
Is Linq good for enterprises?
Yes — enterprise rollouts are Linq’s clear focus, with an established hardware ecosystem and event lead capture. The trade-off is a sales-led buying process and no AI automation on the captured leads.
