30-second verdict
Blinq has the larger installed base (2.5M+ users), sells physical NFC cards, and is the safer choice for sales teams already standardized on Salesforce/HubSpot. Lynqu is the more feature-rich platform (12 languages, rich card content (services, galleries, audio, documents), three privacy modes, Dynamic Island integration, and AI follow-up reminders) at a lower starting price ($4.99/mo Pro annual vs Blinq Premium $9.99/mo). Pick Blinq for English-speaking sales orgs that live in their CRM; pick Lynqu for international teams, content-rich cards, or a pipeline you work in-app. Both support NFC tap-to-share; the difference is that Blinq sells the tag, while Lynqu lets you write any blank tag you already own.
Lynqu is an all-in-one professional presence platform. Beyond digital business cards, it includes email signature generation, virtual meeting backgrounds, and an AI scanner for both paper cards and event badges. Available in 12 languages with three privacy modes.

iOS / Android / Web
We created accounts on both Lynqu and Blinq, built complete digital business cards, and tested the full sharing workflow on iOS and Android. Each platform was evaluated on card creation speed, sharing options, contact management, and day-to-day usability over a two-week period.
Pricing was verified directly from each platform's website and app store listings. Feature availability was confirmed by testing each feature within the app and, where a plan put it out of reach, against the vendor's own product documentation. App store ratings and review counts were recorded from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store as of August 2026.

Switching is painless
Scan the QR on any digital business card (including Blinq cards) and Lynqu imports the contact in seconds. Email signatures and LinkedIn profile screenshots work too. Nothing gets left behind.
Works with most digital business cards; unreadable ones fall back to a quick photo scan.
Both offer team plans with CRM integrations (Salesforce, HubSpot) and SSO support. Blinq has a larger installed base (2.5M+ users), which may matter for sales-driven teams. Lynqu offers team management at a lower per-user price ($3.99/user/mo annual) with additional tools like email signatures, virtual backgrounds, SAML SSO, analytics dashboard, and multi-language support. Better for international or content-rich teams.
No. Blinq's app listing still shows English only as of August 2026. Lynqu supports 12 languages natively (English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Hungarian, and Chinese) making it the better choice for international professionals.
Yes. Both Lynqu and Blinq offer free plans. Blinq's free plan includes virtual backgrounds and email signatures. Lynqu's free plan includes Apple and Google Wallet integration, QR code sharing, and unlimited contacts. Card scanning and branded QR codes require paid plans on both platforms.
Lynqu offers several features Blinq does not: services and bookings on cards, photo galleries, audio clips, document attachments, three privacy modes, 12-language support, AI follow-up reminders, and Dynamic Island (Live Activities). These features make Lynqu particularly strong for professionals who want rich, media-heavy digital cards.
Blinq Premium adds card scanning, branded QR codes, and priority support. At $9.99/month, it is one of the more expensive individual plans in the digital business card market. Lynqu Pro at $5.99/month ($4.99 annual) includes all of those features plus AI follow-up reminders, rich card content (services, galleries, audio, documents), 12-language support, three privacy modes, and Dynamic Island, offering more features for a lower price.
Blinq is a solid choice if wide adoption and CRM integration matter most, and it is the only one of the two that sells physical NFC cards. Lynqu is the better fit if you want rich media content, multi-language support, granular privacy controls, and a built-in lead pipeline with follow-up automation in a single platform. Both support NFC tap-to-share; the difference is that Blinq sells the tag, while Lynqu lets you write any blank tag you already own.
