Radius vs HiHello: which digital business card platform is better?
HiHello is primarily a digital business card platform — your 'card' is an app and a shareable link, with a physical card as an add-on. Radius includes a physical NFC card as the core product, with lead capture, analytics, and an emergency health profile product. They serve overlapping but distinct needs.
Physical vs. digital-first approach
HiHello is digital-first: you create a digital card that you share via app, link, or QR code. Physical NFC cards are available as an add-on. Radius is physical-first: the NFC card is the primary product, with the digital profile as the connected service. If in-person networking with a tangible card is your primary need, Radius's approach is more direct.
Pricing comparison
HiHello: free tier available (limited features), paid plans start around $6/month. Physical card add-on if desired. Radius: one-time card purchase, no subscription, analytics and lead capture included. For heavy users on HiHello's paid plans, Radius's one-time model is significantly cheaper over 12+ months.
Does HiHello require an app on the recipient's phone?
No — HiHello profiles can be accessed via a web link without an app. The HiHello app is for the card creator, not the recipient.
Which is better for teams: Radius or HiHello?
HiHello has strong team management features. Radius offers team plans with admin controls. For large teams needing extensive admin features, compare current plan offerings directly on each platform.
Can HiHello cards be tapped like NFC cards?
HiHello has NFC card options (purchased separately). Their core product is the digital profile shared via link or QR.
