HeyCard
HeyCard vs Linq
The Linq alternative
Linq sells products per person. HeyCard is one app that travels with you.
- No hardware to buy
- No credit card
- About five minutes to set up
The short version
Linq, like Popl, anchors on physical NFC products, with the per-person cost and the logistics that implies. HeyCard skips that entirely. You share a QR code or a link, which means nothing to order, nothing to reissue when someone changes job title, and nothing to forget at home.
Feature by feature
Where the two differ, and where they don’t
Several rows below are a tie. Those are left in deliberately — a comparison table where one column wins every line is not a comparison.
Comparison based on each product’s publicly documented features. Linq is a trademark of its respective owner and is not affiliated with HeyCard. Features change, so check their site for the latest.
Why people switch
What you get that you didn’t have before
Nothing to buy, nothing to carry
Your card is a QR code and a link. No tags to order, no cards to reprint when a job title changes.
It reads paper cards too
Point the camera at a card you were handed and it becomes a contact. See the AI card scanner.
It speaks your language
HeyCard is fully translated into 22 languages, which matters when you network outside your home market.
Wallet and watch
Keep your card in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, or share it from your Apple Watch.
