For solo creators & contractors
Your portfolio is dialled in. Your business card is from a generic generator.
A polished, brand-controlled card with your portfolio, your booking link, and your payment page - one tap each. Apple Wallet on the lock screen. Starter plan; Pro at $3.75/month annual when you're ready.
Why your business card is the weakest link
Three places paper undersells your work.
01
Generic next to a polished site.
You spent three weeks designing your portfolio. Your business card is whatever the local print shop talks you into for $25. The client picks up the card, looks at it, and immediately knows which one you put effort into.
02
No portfolio in the client's hand.
Paper card has a name, a phone, a generic email. The client has to remember to look you up later. Find your site. Find your portfolio. Find your Calendly. Three friction points before they can book - most don't.
03
No way to capture them back.
You handed them a card. They're now a black box. Did they look at your site? Will they book? You'll never know - paper goes one way, into a drawer.
Portfolio-first, booking-built-in
A card that closes the loop, not just opens it.
Portfolio one tap from the saved contact. Behance, GitHub, Dribbble, your own site, podcast guest list, published writing - all linked from the same card the client just saved. No "I'll Google you later" friction. The portfolio is in their hand.
Booking link as a one-tap CTA. Calendly, Cal.com, SavvyCal, or your own booking page - featured as the primary action on the card. Client scans, sees the work, taps "Book discovery call." Booking complete in the same five-minute window - not next week, when they've forgotten you.
Starter plan is real, not bait-and-switch. One card, QR sharing, unlimited links, no credit card. Test it at one meeting. Upgrade to Pro ($3.75/month annual) only when you want Apple Wallet, multiple cards, premium templates, or AI scans.

Freelancer FAQ
FAQ
Is there really a Starter plan?
Yes. Always available for one card with QR sharing, unlimited links, and 3 AI contact scans per month. No credit card required, no trial timer. Enough to test the flow at one client meeting before deciding to upgrade.
Can I add my portfolio site, Behance, or GitHub?
Yes - unlimited links per card. Portfolio site, Behance, GitHub, Dribbble, YouTube, Vimeo, Instagram, podcast, podcast guest list, published writing, Stripe payment link. Whatever the client needs to evaluate you and book you, on the same screen.
How do I take Calendly or Cal.com bookings from the card?
One-tap CTA on the card opens your booking link directly in the client's browser. They scan your QR, see your portfolio, tap 'Book a discovery call' - booking complete in the same session. No 'I'll email you next week' that never happens.
Will the card look professional next to my portfolio site?
Yes. Premium templates designed by working designers - custom colors, fonts, photo, full-bleed cover image. Opens as a polished branded page in the prospect's browser, not a Linktree or a free-generator fallback.
Can I take payment from the card - like a Stripe link?
Yes. Add your Stripe payment page, your Gumroad shop, your Buy-Me-a-Coffee, your Patreon as one of the unlimited links. Clients can pay invoices or buy a product directly from the card.
What about NFC for in-person client meetings?
Available on Pro - premium NFC metal cards via nfc.heydrop.app. Tap to share. Looks like an artefact, works like a calling card. Made for the moment a printed page looks cheap.
Does the recipient need an app to receive my card?
No. They scan your QR or open your link in any browser. Tap 'Save to Contacts.' Done. frictionless for the prospect - paper cards lose 88% of contacts because the recipient has to retype them.
