Where Linq does more
If you need one of these, Linq may suit you better. Each is from its pricing page.
Linq One adds a second phone number, with call forwarding, call transcription and an AI call summary.
eKard has no phone line of its own: a Kard's Call and WhatsApp buttons use your own number.
Linq One lists CRM and marketing integrations.
eKard sends each new contact to Zapier, Make or your own server as it arrives, on every plan, and has no CRM connection of its own.

Is eKard free?Yes. As many Kards as you need, each with its own link and QR code, and the contacts they collect, with no time limit.
Can I bring my Linq card?Yes. Press “Save Contact” on your Linq card to save its contact file, then start a new Kard from it. It works on every plan, the free one too.
Does it work for a team?A team is free for up to 25 people during early access. Import everyone from a spreadsheet, and each person gets a Kard and an invitation.
