iOS / Android / Web
Lynqu includes AI-powered scanning for both paper business cards and event badges, plus AI follow-up reminders. HiHello also offers card and badge scanning, but with limited free scans (5/month). HiHello's Professional plan adds contact enrichment.
Lynqu cards can include services and bookings, photo galleries, audio clips, and document attachments. HiHello cards focus on contact information and social links without these rich media options.
Lynqu supports 12 languages natively (English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Hungarian, and Chinese). HiHello is English-only, which limits its use for international teams.
Both platforms offer Apple Watch apps, home screen widgets, and Dynamic Island (Live Activities). Lynqu differentiates with rich card content — services, bookings, photo galleries, audio clips, and document attachments directly on your card — features HiHello does not include.
We signed up for both Lynqu and HiHello, created digital business cards on each platform, and tested every sharing method — QR codes, direct links, Apple Wallet, NFC, and email signatures. Each app was used daily for two weeks on both iPhone and Android devices.
We tested the AI card scanner on both platforms with 20 physical business cards and 10 event badges. Scanner accuracy, speed, and contact parsing quality were compared directly. Pricing was verified from official websites. App store ratings and reviews were recorded from Apple App Store and Google Play as of March 2026.
Lynqu is an all-in-one platform that bundles digital cards, email signatures, virtual backgrounds, AI scanning, rich media content, and 12-language support at $5.99/month. HiHello focuses on card customization and contact management at $8/month but lacks rich media card content and multi-language support.
HiHello offers a free plan with up to 4 digital business cards, basic sharing via QR code and link, and 5 card scans per month. However, analytics, contact enrichment, and unlimited scanning require the Professional plan at $8/month. Lynqu's free plan also includes QR sharing plus Apple and Google Wallet integration.
No. HiHello is available in English only as of March 2026. If you work internationally or need your business card in a language other than English, Lynqu supports 12 languages including German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Chinese, and more.
Both platforms offer AI-powered card and badge scanning. HiHello limits free users to 5 scans per month and offers contact enrichment on the Professional plan. Lynqu includes AI follow-up reminders after scanning, which HiHello does not offer. Both perform well for standard business cards.
Yes. You can export your contacts from HiHello as a CSV file and create a new card on Lynqu in under two minutes. Your QR code and sharing links will be different, so you will need to update any printed materials. Lynqu's free plan lets you test the platform before committing.
If you want deep customization and don't mind paying $8/month, HiHello is a solid choice. If you want more features — AI scanning, rich media, virtual backgrounds, 12 languages, and privacy controls — for a lower price, Lynqu delivers more value per dollar.
