An honest comparison

Looking for a HiHello alternative?

HiHello is a good product. If you're here, something isn't fitting — usually the subscription, or more platform than you need. Here's the simple version.

Where HiHello shines.

We're not here to trash them. HiHello does big-company work well, and for a lot of teams it's the right pick.

Built for big teams

HiHello now calls itself a professional presence platform, aimed at the enterprise. Managing cards for hundreds of people is their lane.

Brand control at scale

Keeping every employee's card on-brand from one place is what it's made for.

More than a card

It handles a company's whole professional presence. If that's what you need, it's a real strength.

The honest differences.

$99 once, yours forever

Pay one time and every Pro feature is yours for good. HiHello's paid plans are subscriptions — there's no pay-once option there.

Free, no account to start

Build your card and share the link before you ever sign up for anything.

ORCID publications

Doctors and researchers: your papers show up on your card automatically. Nobody else has this.

No app at all

Your card is a plain web link and a QR code. You build it in the browser, and people open it in the browser.

A card, not a platform

No CRM, no team dashboards. If you need those, stay with HiHello — honestly. If you just need a great card, that's us.

Switching is 5 minutes.

1

Make your free card

Pick a template, add your info. Takes about 2 minutes, no account needed.

2

Swap the link

Put your new link in your email signature and reprint the QR code wherever you use it.

3

Done

Your info lives at one link you control. Edit it anytime and it updates everywhere.

Only what you put on it

Your card holds only what you choose to share — the same info as a paper card, just always up to date.

Not listed in Google

Your card isn't indexed in search. Only the people you share it with can find it.

We never sell your data

Your card and your contacts are yours. We don't sell them — not now, not ever.

Free forever. Pro if you want more.

The free card costs $0, forever. Pro adds custom design, multiple cards, analytics, and a print-ready QR for $4.99/mo, $35/yr, or $99 once, lifetime — no subscription, ever.

Questions people ask before switching.

Is it really free to switch?

Yes. The free card includes the link, QR code, save-to-contacts, templates, and ORCID publications — forever. You don't even need an account to start. Pro is optional.

Can I keep my HiHello card live while I try it?

Yes — nothing breaks. Make a free card with us and use both for a while. Switch your email signature and QR code only when you're sure.

What am I giving up if I leave HiHello?

Honestly: their enterprise team tools and integrations. If your company manages cards and branding for a whole team, HiHello is likely the right choice. If you just need your own card, you won't miss much.

What do I gain by switching?

A pay-once lifetime option — $99 gets you every Pro feature forever. ORCID publications if you're a clinician or researcher. And a simpler product overall: a card, not a platform.

Do people need an app to open my card?

No. Your card is a normal web link. Tap it or scan the QR code and it opens in any browser. One tap saves you to their phone's contacts.
