A smart business card like Linq is great at one thing — handing over your details. People come looking for an alternative when they realize the valuable half of the conversation is the other person's details, and there's nowhere to put them. If any of these sound familiar, Leadpocket is built for you:
| Linq (smart business card) | Leadpocket | |
|---|---|---|
| Main job | Share your contact info | Capture their details as a lead |
| QR / link intake forms | Not the focus | Custom questions, your branding |
| Built-in CRM & pipeline | — | Statuses, notes, the whole pipeline |
| AI-drafted follow-ups | — | Personalized from each lead's answers |
| Reminders & going-cold alerts | — | So no lead slips through |
| Team pipeline & analytics | — | Shared pipeline, attribution, insights |
| Lead enrichment | — | Find their socials & more |
| Works with no app for the other person | Yes | Yes — they just scan and type |
| Great as a digital business card | Yes — its core strength | Not its focus |
Comparison reflects each product's primary focus, not specific plans. Linq is a great smart business card; the two tools solve different problems and can be used together.
Linq is a capable smart-card platform with hardware options that suit teams who want branded tap-to-share at scale. We're not here to bash it — if all you need is to share your own contact details, a good smart business card does that well, and you can happily use one alongside Leadpocket.
Build an intake form with the exact questions you want answered. One scan and the lead is in your pipeline — no app for them, no hardware for you.
Every message is drafted from what the lead told you — sent in one tap, in your voice, not a blast.
Statuses, reminders, going-cold alerts, team sharing and analytics — the whole pipeline travels with you.

If your goal is to capture leads and follow up — not just share your own contact card — yes. Linq is primarily a smart business card; Leadpocket is QR lead capture plus a CRM, so the person you meet fills in a quick form and becomes a lead you can nurture.
A smart business card shares your details outward. Leadpocket captures the other person's details inward — into a pipeline — and then helps you follow up with an AI-drafted message. It also includes statuses, reminders, team sharing and analytics.
No. They scan your QR code and fill in a short form in their browser — no app and no account required on their side. That's the same friction-free experience a good smart business card offers, but the result is a captured lead instead of a saved card.
Absolutely. Many people hand over a smart business card to share their own details and use Leadpocket to capture the other person's. They solve opposite halves of a networking conversation, so they pair well.
No. Leadpocket works with a QR code you can show on your phone, print on a sign, or add to a badge — no NFC cards or scanners to buy. If you already have Linq hardware, you can keep using it for sharing your own card.
There's nothing to migrate — Leadpocket captures new leads going forward. Create a free account, build a short intake form, and start your QR code. You'll be capturing leads in a couple of minutes.
Every account starts with a free 3-day Pro trial, no credit card required. After that you can pick a plan or keep your data and decide later.
Yes. Your whole team shares one pipeline, every lead is attributed to whoever captured it, and analytics show what's working — useful at busy events where several people are capturing at once.
