Linq's website now sells messaging APIs for developers, not digital business cards. If you were using a Linq card, here's a straightforward place to move it — free, with a link and QR code that stay yours.
If you are searching for a Linq alternative, you probably already found the reason: linqapp.com now leads with "APIs for iMessage, RCS, SMS, and Voice built for Agents". It is a developer messaging company. The digital business card is no longer the product on the front door.
That leaves anyone holding a Linq card in an uncomfortable position — your card is the link you have printed on things and pasted into your email signature, and it now depends on a product line that is no longer the company's focus. Check Linq's own site for the current status of anything you hold; this page is simply somewhere to land if you decide to move.
The whole cost of switching is updating your link everywhere. Pick a card whose URL and QR code never change, so you only pay that cost once.
You should be able to run a real card, shared with real clients, at $0 — not a countdown trial that strands you again in fourteen days.
Being able to export the contacts you capture is what stops the next migration being painful. Portability is the feature that protects you.
As of July 2026, linqapp.com presents itself as a developer messaging platform — its headline is "APIs for iMessage, RCS, SMS, and Voice built for Agents" — not a digital business card product. If you rely on a Linq card, it is worth having somewhere else to go. Check Linq's own site for the current status of any card product you hold.
For an individual or a small business, look for three things: a free plan you can genuinely use with clients, no app required for the person receiving the card, and a permanent link and QR code so you never repeat this migration. CompanyCard's free plan covers all three — it includes one digital business card, a QR code and sharing link, your profile, links and socials, an Apple and Google Wallet pass, and unlimited edits — free forever, no credit card. Free cards carry a small CompanyCard credit; removing it is part of Pro.
Usually yes. If your tag or card lets you write a custom URL, you can point it at your CompanyCard link and a tap will open your new card. Everyone else can reach you by QR code or link with no hardware at all.
Copy your details, links and photo from your existing card, paste them into the CompanyCard builder, then update your link in the places you control — email signature, social bios and any printed QR. It takes about five minutes.
Nobody can promise what another company does next, so the honest answer is: choose on portability. With CompanyCard your link and QR code are permanent, and you can export the contacts you capture, so you are never locked to us by your own data.
Rebuild it free, then update your link wherever you've shared it.
