COMPARE / POPL

Card vs. Popl

Popl is built for event lead capture, sold as a consumer app with a quote-only team plan. Card is built for the person building something — free at day 0 — and for the team that person ends up leading. Here's the honest difference.

 PoplCard
Free tier— (consumer app)Forever — 5 cards + 3 decks per workspace
App required—No — any browser
Decks—Yes, on Day 0
Personal card survives joining a team—Yes
Meeting recording—Never

We only list what we could verify on Popl's public pricing page on September 19, 2026.

A 5-person team, priced out

Popl: — (Quote-only — Popl publishes no self-serve team price; "unlimited users" requires a sales call)
Card Team: $15/mo ($12/mo billed annually) (5 × $3/seat, no minimum)

Who each one fits

Our read: Popl fits best if you're a team with a dedicated buyer for this kind of purchase, willing to book a sales call for a custom lead-capture rollout.

Card fits best if you're a founder, investor, or independent professional who wants a card that's free to start and grows into a company brand — without buying a sales-lead-capture tool you don't need yet.

Switching from Popl

There's no automatic import today — it's a short manual copy: recreate your name, title, company, links, and photo in Card's editor, then share your new link or QR going forward. Your Popl account isn't affected by switching — we have no access to it, and closing or keeping it is entirely up to you.
