Linq's prices and plans are from its own website, store and help pages as listed on October 28, 2026, and may have changed since. See linqapp.com for today's. Linq is a trademark of its owner, and CardPal is not connected with Linq. CardPal's prices are one time, with free shipping in the US.
The first year
The first year of a Linq card is $14.99 for the card plus $249 for a year of Linq One. A CardPal card, with your logo on your page and your contacts to export, is $35.
The card is one price with free shipping, and nothing more is needed to make it work. See the pricing.
Where Linq fits well
Linq has built a lot for companies. Its paid plan adds lead forms, follow-up templates and reminders, CRM connections through Zapier and a team directory, and companies get an admin dashboard and single sign-on. If your company already runs on those, Linq is made for that.
What CardPal does its own way
- Your page is built from your website or LinkedIn, in your logo, colors and fonts
- Nothing on your page sells CardPal to the person you just met
- Setting up a new card happens in the browser, with no app to install
- One price for the card, and nothing more to pay to make it work
Questions from Linq users
Do I need a monthly plan for a CardPal card to work?
No. The card, your page, saving contacts, share-backs, your logo and colors, and exporting your contacts all come with the card. The optional Follow-up plan comes after launch, and you add it only if you want it.
Can I bring my contacts with me?
The contacts people share with you are yours. You can export them to your phone's contacts or a spreadsheet any time.
Is CardPal a good fit for a big sales team?
Not yet for every team. Team cards with your company's logo come after launch. If your team needs single sign-on and a company admin dashboard today, Linq offers those. For a small office, email us and we will plan it with you.
