A digital business card that ends up in their contacts, not in a drawer
A Linkhiver business card is a page at linkhiver.com/card/… carrying your name, job title, company, phone, email and website — and one button that writes all of it into the visitor's phone as a contact. Print its QR code on the paper card you already hand out, or just show it on screen. The card page, the contact download and the QR code are free on every plan, including the free one; the Apple and Google Wallet pass is the part that sits on Pro. This page says which is which rather than blurring the two.
Card page, .vcf download and QR code — free on every plan
Two cards on the free plan, twenty on Pro
Rename a card and the printed QR keeps working
What the card is, exactly
It is a public web page, not an app and not a file. You fill in the contact fields once, and anyone who opens the link sees a card built from them. Nothing needs installing at either end.
Fields: name, job title, company, phone, email, website, plus a free-text note.
It lives at linkhiver.com/card/<your-slug> and you choose the slug.
Works in any browser — the person receiving it installs nothing.
Separate from your bio page, so a client sees a card and a follower sees your links.
One tap and you are in their phone
The button under the card downloads a .vcf file — the vCard format every phone and mail client already understands. iOS and Android both open it straight into the contact editor, so saving you takes one tap and no typing.
Standard vCard: no app, no account and no scanning of a paper card.
Your details arrive spelled correctly, which a photographed card does not guarantee.
Change your phone number later and the next person to open the card gets the new one.
The QR code is what makes a paper card useful
Every card comes with a downloadable QR code pointing at the card page. Put it on the back of the printed card, on a shop window, on a van door or on the last slide of a deck — anywhere someone would otherwise have to type your details in.
Download the QR as a PNG and send it to whoever does your printing.
Card slugs are editable, and every slug a card has ever had keeps resolving — so renaming the card does not kill the code you already printed.
The free plan includes 5 QR codes across everything you make; Pro raises that to 20.
Wallet passes, and they are Pro
On Pro the card page also offers Add to Apple Wallet and Save to Google Wallet, so the person you met keeps you in the same place as their boarding passes and loyalty cards rather than in a browser tab they will close. This is the one part of the card that is not free, and it is worth being blunt about that.
Apple Wallet and Google Wallet passes are included with Pro — $6 a month or $45 a year.
The card page, the .vcf download and the QR code stay free whether or not you buy Pro.
Nothing you built on the free plan stops working if you never upgrade.
It sits beside your bio page, not instead of it
The two answer different questions. A bio page is for an audience deciding what to click; a business card is for one person deciding whether to keep your number. One account carries both, and the card can link to the page.
Same login, same dashboard, same analytics view.
Put the card link on your bio page, or the bio link on your card — or both.
Neither one needs the other to work.
What it costs, stated plainly
The free plan is permanent and needs no card details. Where it is tight is how many cards you can keep at once — which matters if you are making one per person on a team rather than one for yourself.
Free: 2 business cards, 10 links, 5 QR codes, 30-day analytics history.
Pro: 20 business cards, 50 links, 20 QR codes, wallet passes and your own domain — $6 a month or $45 a year.
Linktree and Beacons sell no equivalent card at any tier, which is the honest reason this page exists.
Point it at WhatsApp, if that is where people answer you
The card's phone field becomes a tel: button — a call. In a lot of markets that is not what anyone wants; they want the chat. The site field links out to whatever you put in it, as long as it starts with https, and a wa.me link does. So the card can open a WhatsApp conversation instead of ringing you.
Put your wa.me link in the card's site field; it renders as a link row, showing the URL itself rather than a button labelled WhatsApp.
Build that link free with the WhatsApp link generator on this site — country code, no trunk zero, and a first message already written.
The card's QR and a WhatsApp QR are different jobs: one opens the whole card, the other drops straight into the chat. You can print either, or both.
Frequently asked questions
Is the digital business card free?
Yes. The card page, the .vcf contact download and the card's QR code are free on every plan, including the free one — you can keep 2 cards without paying anything. The Apple and Google Wallet pass is the exception: that is included with Pro, at $6 a month or $45 a year.
Does the person I give it to need an app?
No. They open a normal web page and press one button, which downloads a standard .vcf file. Every current iPhone and Android phone opens that straight into the contact editor. Nothing is installed and they do not need a Linkhiver account.
Can I print the QR code on my paper business cards?
That is what it is for. Download the QR as a PNG and hand it to your printer. Card slugs are editable and every slug a card has ever used keeps resolving, so changing the card's name later does not turn the printed code into a dead link.
Can I make one card per person for my team?
Up to the plan cap: 2 cards on the free plan and 20 on Pro, per account. Each card has its own slug, its own QR code and its own contact details, so a small team can run one account with a card each.
How is this different from my link in bio page?
A bio page is a list of links for an audience; a business card is your contact details for one person, with a save-to-contacts button. They serve different moments and one Linkhiver account gives you both — you do not choose between them.
Can the card open WhatsApp instead of calling me?
Yes, through the site field rather than the phone field. The phone field always becomes a tel: link, which places a call. The site field links out to any address starting with https, and a wa.me link qualifies — so put your WhatsApp link there and the card opens a chat. There is no dedicated WhatsApp button on the card, and the row shows the URL rather than the word WhatsApp.
