Blinq alternative: Linkhiver vs Blinq, compared for 2026
Blinq sells a digital business card and sells it well: 131,000 App Store ratings, NFC cards in its own shop, contacts pushed straight into Salesforce or HubSpot. Linkhiver does none of those things. What Linkhiver does is put the card on a public page that already holds your links, your QR codes, your shop and a year of click statistics — so the card is a feature, not the purchase. This page is about which of those two shapes you actually need.
Quick answer
Linkhiver is a Blinq alternative at $6/month against Blinq's $9.99 Premium tier, with a bio page, QR codes, a link shortener and a shop the free plan already includes — but Blinq has NFC cards, 20+ CRM integrations, contact enrichment and team admin that Linkhiver does not (as of September 2026).
Summary
- Both free plans hold exactly two digital business cards. That row is a tie — what differs is everything around the card.
- Blinq Premium is $9.99/month for five cards. Linkhiver Pro is $6/month for twenty cards, plus 50 links, 20 QR codes, 100 short links and a custom domain.
- Blinq has NFC cards, CRM sync, AI contact enrichment and an admin dashboard for teams. Linkhiver has none of those, and the table below says so on four separate rows.

| CRM integrations | None. Your subscriber list exports to CSV on Pro | 20+ native integrations plus an API; lead capture on the Business tier |
| Contact enrichment & AI meeting notes | Not available. Linkhiver's AI writes your bio, not your follow-ups | AI notetaker and contact enrichment from $9.99/month |

When Blinq fits better
An honest list — Blinq is the better buy for a lot of people:
- You want a physical NFC card to tap against a phone. Linkhiver has no hardware and no plans for any.
- The contacts you collect have to land in Salesforce, HubSpot or another CRM without anyone copying them across.
- You are buying for a team and need an admin who controls every card's template, plus SSO. Linkhiver is one account per person.
When Linkhiver fits better
Choose Linkhiver if these sound like you:
- The card is one of several things you hand out. Linkhiver's free plan also holds a bio page, five QR codes, ten links and ten short links — Blinq's free plan holds two cards and nothing else.
- You want somewhere to send people from Instagram or WhatsApp, not just a card to swap at an event.
- Price per card matters: $6/month buys twenty cards here against five on Blinq Premium at $9.99.
- You sell something. A free shop, email capture and a year of per-link click stats sit on the same page as the card.
Switching from Blinq to Linkhiver
- Create your free Linkhiver page and claim your username — that address is what the card points at.
- Build your business card: name, role, company, phone, email and socials. Two cards are free.
- Export your Blinq contacts to CSV before you cancel, so the list is yours either way.
- Add a QR code for anything printed, and add your links so the card lands somewhere with more than a phone number on it.
- Keep the Blinq card live for a few weeks — anyone who saved it still has the old link.
Frequently asked questions
Is Blinq free?
Blinq has a free plan with two digital business cards, unlimited sharing and unlimited contacts. Five cards, branded QR codes, custom card design, an AI notetaker and contact enrichment start at $9.99/month; team features, lead capture and CRM integrations at $6.99 per user per month; SSO and SCIM on Enterprise (as of September 2026).
How much does Blinq cost compared with Linkhiver?
Blinq Premium is $9.99/month for one person with five cards. Linkhiver Pro is $6/month — R$17 in Brazil, ₺89 in Turkey — for twenty cards, plus 50 links, 20 QR codes, 100 short links, a custom domain and analytics with no time limit. Blinq's Business tier is $6.99 per user per month and is the one that carries CRM sync, which Linkhiver has no equivalent of at any price.
Does Linkhiver do NFC business cards?
No. Linkhiver has no hardware. Your card is shared by QR code, by link, or saved into Apple Wallet and Google Wallet on the Pro plan. If tapping a physical card against a phone is the thing you are buying, Blinq sells those and Linkhiver does not.
Can Linkhiver push contacts into my CRM?
No. Linkhiver has no CRM integrations. What it has is a subscriber list you can export to CSV on the Pro plan, a WhatsApp request block where visitors leave their name and question, and webhooks that fire when someone subscribes. If a contact has to appear in Salesforce or HubSpot by itself, that is Blinq's Business tier and not something Linkhiver does.
Why compare a link-in-bio tool with a business card app at all?
Because a lot of people end up buying both, and they overlap more than either company says. Blinq's card holds your links and a QR code; Linkhiver's page holds a card and a QR code. If you already pay for a link-in-bio page, a second $9.99 subscription for the card may be buying you NFC and CRM you will never use — and if you need NFC and CRM, no amount of bio page replaces them.
Where our incentives sit
A comparison written by one of the two products is only worth reading if you can see what the author stands to gain. Here is ours, and what you can check without taking our word for it.
We are never in your payment path
Linkhiver does not process sales, tips or subscriptions, so there is no cut for us to take. Link a Shopify, Ko-fi or Gumroad storefront from your page and the buyer pays that storefront directly — the money never passes through us. That is structural rather than a promise: we cannot start taking a percentage of something we never handle.
No ads on your page, on either plan
Your page carries your links and nothing we sold to somebody else. The free plan shows a small Linkhiver badge, which Pro removes; that badge is the only thing on your page you did not put there.
Our own counters are rounded down
The creator, page-view and click totals on our home page are read live from the database, floored to the nearest step and shown with a plus, so they can only understate. The real figure is a few hundred creators, and that is what we print.
A claim we have withdrawn fails our build
An audit in August 2026 found inflated numbers on this site: a template count, a hardcoded view count, a user count. Each was corrected, and a test now scans all seven language catalogs on every deploy and refuses to build if one of them comes back.
Prices on this page are in US dollars, because that is how each vendor publishes them. Linkhiver Pro is billed in local currency where we have set one; the exact amount appears at checkout.
