What Metwith does differently
- One payment. Pro is $9.99 once in the US, shared with your family, with no renewal.
- A QR code that holds you. Until you put your card online, its QR code holds your contact itself, so neither phone needs a connection or an account.
- A scanner, too. The cards people hand you are read on your iPhone, with where you met and a follow-up day. The business card scanner
- On your wrist, free. Your QR code on Apple Watch, with today’s follow-ups.
- No account. Nothing to sign up for. Only your own card goes online, and only if you put it there.
When Blinq, HiHello or Popl fit better
If your company hands out cards to a whole team from one dashboard, syncs every lead into Salesforce or HubSpot, or wants to see who opened a card, they do that on their paid plans. Metwith has no team accounts and no analytics: it’s for your own card and the cards you collect.
