HiHello Alternative
HiHello is an app. We're an actual business card.
HiHello requires both people to have the app. QR Business Cards gives you a physical card anyone can scan — no app, no signup, no friction.
HiHello
HiHello is a digital-only business card app. No physical product. You share cards through the app, QR codes within the app, or email signatures. Their Professional plan is $6/month ($72/year). The free tier limits you to one card with basic features.
QR Business Cards
We give you real printed business cards. At a networking event, you hand someone a physical card — they scan the QR code later with their phone camera. No app needed on either side. Your digital profile is free and includes unlimited updates.

Frequently asked questions
Is HiHello better than QR Business Cards?
HiHello works well for remote teams and digital-first workflows. QR Business Cards is built for people who network in person and want something tangible to hand out.
What do I actually get for $39.99?
You get 50 premium printed business cards on 14pt card stock, each with a QR code on the back that links to your free digital profile. Free shipping is included. Unlike HiHello, there is no monthly subscription — the digital profile is free forever, and you only pay once for the printed cards.
Do I need to install an app to use the cards?
No. Your cards are scanned with any phone camera — no app is required on either side. Your digital profile opens in any mobile browser. This is the main difference from HiHello, which typically requires their app or an account to get the full experience.
Can I update my contact info without reprinting cards?
Yes. The QR code on every card points to your digital profile, which you can edit anytime. Change jobs, update your phone number, swap your photo — every card you've already handed out still scans to the current version of your profile.
How long does shipping take?
Orders are printed and shipped in 3–5 business days. You'll get a tracking number by email once your cards ship. Shipping is free on every order in the US.
