The pricing, plainly

Blinq Business is reported at $4.99–$6.99/user/month (5-user minimum), but event lead capture is a separate usage-based add-on: Blinq’s own materials describe credit-based pricing starting around $2,400/year, billed per captured lead.

Feature for feature, Blinq’s lead capture is genuinely capable: offline mode, AI enrichment, an AI notetaker. If your main need is polished digital business cards for a big team, Blinq is strong.

The difference is the meter. Blinq bills lead capture by the captured lead, on credits, as an add-on on top of the per-seat card plan. A good show, the exact moment the tool is earning its keep, is the moment the bill spikes. hunybadgr charges a flat $5 per user per month, whether you scan ten badges or ten thousand.
