Digital business cards for multiple businesses: one card per brand
You run four or five small businesses. You need a different card in each room — different name, different logo, different links — without five logins, five subscriptions or five monthly invoices. Here is what each platform actually allows one person to do, and what three years of it costs.
The short answer
NexaLink Solo is $59 once and gives 5 cards on 1 seat — one person, up to 5 brands, one payment. That is the whole four-or-five-businesses case, and it is the cheapest paid tier we sell.
One thing to be clear about before you buy: Solo does not include a custom domain. Cards live at nexalink.co/c/your-slug. If each brand needs to sit on its own address, the plan you want is Business at $549 once, which also removes the card limit entirely.
How many cards each platform gives one person
The number that matters for this buyer is not the seat price — it is how many cards a single seat is allowed to create. Cheapest published path for each vendor, annual billing where offered.
| Cheapest multi-card plan | Cards for one person | Custom domain | One-time payment | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Popl | Pro from $6.40/user/mo (annual) (unverified figure) | Not published (unverified figure) | Sub-domain only (subdomain.poplme.co), Pro+ and Teams | No |
| HiHello | Professional $6/mo (16 cards) | 16 on Professional | Branded sub-domain only; cards are hosted on HiHello servers | No |
| Blinq | Premium $7.33/user/mo (annual), up to 5 cards | 5 on Premium | Not documented on any plan | No |
| Mobilo | Hardware-led; Pro $3/mo after trial | Not documented | Yes — genuine custom domain, Enterprise tier | No |
| Dot Card | Essential $8/member/mo (annual) (unverified figure) | Not published (unverified figure) | Not documented on any tier | No |
| NexaLink Solo | $59 once | 5 cards on 1 seat | No — Business ($549) and Agency only | Yes |
* Figures for Popl and Dot Card are third-party and unconfirmed — popl.co no longer publishes pricing and states it quotes over a call. Treat those rows as indicative. All other rows are taken from vendor documentation, checked 2026-08-09. HiHello Professional is the only plan in the set that gives one person more cards than Solo; the argument against it is ownership and renewal, not card count. All prices in USD. NexaLink bills in USD, so a Canadian buyer is charged the USD amount.
Two rows deserve a second look. Blinq Premium caps at 5 cards — the same ceiling as Solo, charged every month instead of once. And Mobilo is the only platform in this comparison with a genuine customer-owned domain, but it sits on an Enterprise plan with a 100-seat minimum, so a one-person business cannot buy it at any sane price.
Three years of subscription vs $59 once
Three years is the honest window: long enough that subscription cost is real, short enough that nobody can call it cherry-picked. The comparison runs against the cheapest verified multi-brand path in the set, not against a list price nobody pays.

No competitor at this price point includes a custom domain — and neither does Solo.
When it pays for itself
Against HiHello Professional — the cheapest verified path — a one-time $59 equals roughly 10 months of subscription. After month 10, every further month of the subscription is money the lifetime buyer does not spend.
The upper end of the range is wider still, but we will not state it as fact: an unverified third-party figure puts Popl Pro+ near $431 over the same three years. Popl removed public pricing, so treat that as a range marker rather than a quote.
Subscription figures assume the price holds for three years — in practice it usually rises. The lifetime figure is the one-time list price. All prices in USD. NexaLink bills in USD, so a Canadian buyer is charged the USD amount.
Switching between brands
The brands do not share anything they should not. Each card is a separate object with its own identity and its own public page — switching is choosing which one to hand over, not editing a profile between meetings.
Each brand is its own card
Separate name, title, company, logo, photo and links — and its own public URL at nexalink.co/c/your-slug with its own QR code. Nothing from the consulting card appears on the coffee-roastery card.
Share the one that fits
Pick the card for the room and share its link or QR. Cards publish and unpublish individually, so a seasonal or dormant business can go dark without being deleted — and come back with the same address.
Measured per brand
Views and contact-saves are counted per card, so you can see which of your businesses the networking is actually working for. Solo keeps a 90-day analytics window.
Keeping each business's contacts apart
This is where most multi-brand setups get messy, so here is the precise shape of it rather than a promise.
What you get
- Lead attribution per card. Anyone who fills in the form on a card page is recorded against that card, so you always know which business a lead came from.
- Tags and filters. Contacts carry tags and a how-we-met note, which is how one brand's list gets pulled apart from another's inside the CRM.
- Per-card analytics. Views and saves are counted against the card that earned them, not pooled into one account total.
What you do not get on Solo
Contacts live in one list per account. Solo separates your brands, and it separates contacts within that list — it does not give you five isolated databases with five logins. Genuinely siloed contact sets, each with their own workspace and admin, are the Agency client-workspace model, and that is a different plan aimed at agencies managing other companies rather than at one owner managing their own.
Solo, Team or Business
Seats are people. Cards are brands. Most people running several small businesses need many cards and exactly one seat — which is Solo. The two reasons to go past it are a custom domain and a sixth brand.
| Solo | Team | Business | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | $59 once | $249 once | $549 once |
| Seats (people) | 1 | 10 | 50 |
| Cards (brands) | 5 | 5 | Unlimited |
| Custom domain | No | No | Yes |
| Best for | One owner, up to 5 brands | A brand or two plus staff or contractors | Unlimited brands, on your own domain |
Solo and Team both run on the Pro entitlement, so neither includes a custom domain — that starts at Business. The iOS and Android apps stay NexaLink-branded on every plan, including Agency; white-label applies to the web surface. All prices in USD. NexaLink bills in USD, so a Canadian buyer is charged the USD amount.
Common questions
Can I have more than one digital business card on the same account?
Yes. NexaLink Solo is $59 once and includes 5 cards on 1 seat, so one person can run up to 5 separate brands — each with its own name, logo, links, public URL and QR code. Seats are people and cards are brands; they are separate limits.
Do I have to pay separately for each business?
No. NexaLink charges for seats, not brands, and Solo is a single one-time payment covering all of its cards. Per-user subscriptions charge you for the person, so a solopreneur with five brands usually pays the same as a solopreneur with one — the difference is that most of them cap how many cards that one person may create.
Does each business get its own domain?
Not on Solo. Solo and Team run on the Pro entitlement, which does not include a custom domain — cards live at nexalink.co/c/your-slug. Custom domains start on Business at $549 once, which also lifts the card limit to unlimited. If putting each brand on its own address matters to you, buy Business rather than Solo.
Are contacts kept separate for each business?
Contacts live in one list per account, and you separate them inside it. Every lead captured from a card page is attributed to the card that captured it, tags let you filter one brand's contacts from another's, and views and saves are counted per card. What Solo does not give you is five genuinely separate databases with separate logins — that is the Agency client-workspace model.
What happens if I start a sixth business?
Solo caps at 5 cards. Business is $549 once and lifts cards to unlimited, adds a custom domain and raises seats to 50. There is no per-brand upgrade in between — the card limit is the ceiling.
Is a lifetime plan really cheaper than a $6/month subscription?
For this case, yes, and quickly. The cheapest verified rival path for a multi-brand solopreneur is HiHello Professional at $216 over three years. Solo is $59 once, so it pays for itself in about 10 months and costs 73% less across the three years — assuming the subscription price never rises, which it usually does.
