When Mobilo is the better choice
If your sales team wants a physical card to tap, lead forms, scan statistics and CRM integrations, Mobilo's subscription is inexpensive for what it does. You're paying for a hosted profile and the dashboard around it.
When FastCardGen is the better choice
- You don't want to wait for a card in the mail or pay for hardware.
- You want the QR code to work without internet and without any account behind it.
- You'd like paper cards from any print shop, with your QR code on them.
- Your company prefers staff details not to sit on a third-party server.
Want to tap anyway?
Write your card link to any blank NFC sticker or card (NTAG215 or NTAG216) with a tag-writing app. Tapping it opens your card with a Save contact button, and you never pay a subscription for it. NFC vs QR

Does a Mobilo card work without a subscription?
Mobilo lists a free digital card, and new cards come with a trial of Pro. Lead capture, analytics and team features are on paid plans. Check Mobilo's pricing page for the current details.
Can I put my FastCardGen card on an NFC tag?
Yes. Write your card link as a URL record to an NTAG215 or NTAG216 tag.
Can I print my own cards instead?
