Bl1nk vs Wave
A straight comparison of Bl1nk and Wave — a digital business card app with NFC cards — for teams that turn real-world meetings into pipeline.
Wave (Wave Connect) is a mature digital business card app — it shares your profile over NFC and QR with lots of sharing options. Bl1nk is an AI lead-capture platform: an assistant qualifies and captures visitors, scores the lead, and drafts the follow-up, all synced to your CRM. For sharing, Wave is solid; for building pipeline, Bl1nk wins.
Wave is a polished, well-established digital business card app focused on sharing your details every way possible — NFC, QR, email signatures, widgets. Bl1nk is built for the opposite direction: capturing and converting the other person. An AI assistant on your Bl1nk profile answers questions, qualifies the visitor and captures the lead, then scores it, remembers the meeting and drafts the follow-up. Wave has no AI agent, lead scoring or follow-up automation. If you mainly need to share a great card, Wave is a strong pick; if you need pipeline, Bl1nk wins.
