Share it

Which digital business card is free?
goodbd, Blinq and HiHello all have a free digital business card; Popl's free option is more limited and its hardware is the draw. The free tiers differ in how many cards you get and what carries a mark:
- goodbd: 1 card, every template, QR code, short link, email signature and WhatsApp display picture, with a small "Made with goodbd" mark. No app, no time limit.
- Blinq: 2 cards on the free plan, Apple Wallet pass included; NFC cards sold separately.
- HiHello: 4 cards on the free plan, Apple Wallet pass included; branding removal is paid.
- Popl: a basic free profile; the Pro plan and NFC products are where the product lives.
If you want one card that looks professional and comes with a headshot, goodbd is the only free option that includes the photo side; the others expect you to bring your own.
Can you create a digital business card for free?
Yes. A goodbd account costs nothing and the free plan has no trial clock: your business card, its link and its QR code keep working for as long as you want them. You do not enter a payment card to sign up.
The one thing that is not free is AI headshots, because every render costs us compute. They come with Pro ($9 a month or $79 a year, including 5 headshots every month and unlimited cards) or as a one-time pack from $19 for 10 headshots. You can upload any existing photo to the free card instead.

How do I share a digital business card?
Four ways, and you can use all of them at once. Each one opens the same card, so you only maintain it in one place.
- QR code
- Show it on your phone screen or print it on a paper card, a lanyard or a shop counter. Every modern phone camera scans it without an app.
- Short link
- Paste it into a text, an email or a LinkedIn message. It is short enough to read out loud.
- Email signature
- goodbd generates a signature with your headshot, details and QR code that you paste into Gmail or Outlook once.
- WhatsApp and LinkedIn
- Use the matching headshot on your profiles so people recognise you before they open the card.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes, on both, and on any laptop. A goodbd card is a normal web page, so it opens in Safari, Chrome or whatever browser the phone already has. There is nothing for the recipient to install and no account for them to create.
When they tap “Save contact”, the card sends a standard vCard file. iPhone opens it in Contacts; Android opens it in Google Contacts or the phone's own contacts app. Name, number, email, company and photo arrive already filled in.
You edit the card from any browser too. Change your number or job title and every link and QR code you have ever shared shows the new version immediately.
Included with Pro
The photo is half the card
Most digital business card tools leave you to find a photo. goodbd renders professional headshots from one selfie, in minutes, and puts the same photo on your card, your email signature and your WhatsApp display picture so you look consistent everywhere.
Digital business card: common questions
What is a digital business card?
A digital business card is a personal web page that holds everything a paper card does, plus tappable links. You share it with a link or QR code instead of handing over paper, and the recipient saves it to their phone contacts in one tap. It never runs out and updates instantly when your details change.
Do I need an app to use a digital business card?
No. A goodbd business card is a web page, so it opens in the browser that every phone already has. You edit it from any browser too. Some tools such as Blinq, HiHello and Popl offer companion apps for extra features, but the person receiving your card never needs to install anything.
How do people save my digital business card to their phone?
They tap "Save contact" on your card. That downloads a standard vCard file, which iPhone and Android both open in their contacts app with your name, number, email, company and photo already filled in. There is no typing on their side and no account to create.
Can I put an AI headshot on my digital business card?
Yes. goodbd is the one digital business card tool with built-in AI headshots. Upload a single selfie, choose a style, and the finished headshot goes onto your card, your WhatsApp display picture and your email signature in one click. Headshots are included with Pro or a one-time pack from $19.
Is a virtual business card the same as a digital business card?
Yes. "Virtual business card", "electronic business card", "e-business card" and, in India, "digital visiting card" all describe the same thing: a shareable web page with your contact details and a QR code. goodbd works for every one of those searches; the product is identical whichever name you use.
What does goodbd Pro add to the free digital business card?
Free gives you 1 card, every template, a QR code, a short link, an email signature and a WhatsApp display picture, forever, with a small "Made with goodbd" mark. Pro is $9 a month or $79 a year: unlimited cards, no mark, view and tap analytics, and 5 new AI headshots every month.
