HiHello alternative: Linkhiver vs HiHello, compared for 2026
HiHello and Linkhiver Pro cost the same $6 a month, which makes this the cleanest comparison on the site: the question is only what the money buys. HiHello buys sixteen business cards and twenty paper-card scans. Linkhiver buys twenty cards and the public page they live on. HiHello's free tier is also the more generous of the two on cards alone — four against two — and the table below says so rather than hiding it.
Quick answer
Linkhiver is a HiHello alternative at the same $6/month, giving twenty business cards plus fifty links, twenty QR codes, a hundred short links and a custom domain against HiHello's sixteen cards and twenty scans — but HiHello's free plan holds four cards to Linkhiver's two, and it scans paper business cards, which Linkhiver cannot (as of September 2026).
Summary
- Identical price, different bundle: $6/month buys sixteen cards at HiHello and twenty cards plus a whole bio page, QR codes and a link shortener at Linkhiver.
- HiHello's free plan wins on cards — four against two, plus five card scans a month. If cards alone are what you need, start there.
- HiHello scans paper business cards into contacts and syncs to Salesforce or HubSpot on its Business tier. Linkhiver does neither, at any price.

When HiHello fits better
An honest list — on cards alone HiHello gives more away:
- You want the most free business cards you can get. Four beats two, and Linkhiver does not argue with that.
- You still receive paper cards and want them photographed into contacts. Linkhiver has no scanner.
- You are buying for a team of five or more and need a company directory, shared templates and SSO.
When Linkhiver fits better
Choose Linkhiver if these sound like you:
- The card needs somewhere to lead. Linkhiver's free plan is a public page with ten links, five QR codes and ten short links behind the card.
- You hand out a link on Instagram or WhatsApp more often than a card at a meeting.
- At the same $6 a month you would rather have twenty cards and a custom domain than sixteen cards and twenty scans.
- 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 HiHello to Linkhiver
- Create your free Linkhiver page and claim your username — that address is what the card points at.
- Rebuild your card: name, role, company, phone, email and socials. Two cards are free, twenty on Pro.
- Export your HiHello contacts before you cancel, so the list is yours either way.
- Add your links and a QR code, so the card lands on a page rather than on a contact sheet.
- Keep the HiHello card live for a few weeks — anyone who saved it still has the old link.
Frequently asked questions
Is HiHello free?
Yes, for one person with four digital business cards and five paper-card scans a month. Sixteen cards, twenty scans, contact enrichment and card analytics start at $6/month or $72/year; unlimited cards and scans, event lead capture, a company directory, CRM integrations and SSO are on the Business tier at $5 per user per month for 5 to 100 users; SAML, SCIM and SOC 2 on Enterprise from 101 users (as of September 2026).
Which free plan is better?
For business cards alone, HiHello's — four cards against Linkhiver's two, plus five card scans a month. For everything else, Linkhiver's free plan is a public page: ten links, eleven themes, five QR codes, ten short links, a shop with five products, email capture and a year of per-link click statistics. They are answering different questions, and the right free plan is the one whose question is yours.
Is Linkhiver cheaper than HiHello?
They are the same headline price: $6 a month for one person, and Linkhiver is R$17 in Brazil and ₺89 in Turkey. The difference is the bundle. HiHello's $6 tier is sixteen cards and twenty scans; Linkhiver's is twenty cards, fifty links, twenty QR codes, a hundred short links, a custom domain, SEO controls and analytics with no time limit. HiHello's Business tier is cheaper per head at $5, but needs at least five users.
Can Linkhiver scan paper business cards?
No. Linkhiver has no card scanner and no OCR. If a stack of paper cards from an event has to become contacts on your phone, HiHello does that — free five times a month, unlimited on its Business tier — and Linkhiver does not.
Do I need both?
Some people do, and it is worth saying plainly. If you collect paper cards and your contacts must reach a CRM, HiHello is doing a job Linkhiver has no answer for. If what you need is one address to hand out — on a card, in a bio, on a printed QR code — then a second subscription is buying you a scanner you will rarely open.
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.
