What it is

CardAction is an Android and iOS app that turns business cards into contact records using on-device AI. Its OCR extracts names, email addresses, phone numbers, job titles, and company details, and it can process a stack of cards in one session. Contacts can be organized into smart folders by event, company, or another category. From a scanned record, users can start a WhatsApp message, call, email, or SMS. The app exports vCard files, creates vCard 4.0 QR codes for sharing, and syncs contacts to Google Sheets or sends them through webhooks to Zapier, Make, HubSpot, or a personal API. The maker says scanning works without internet, data remains on the device, and external syncing occurs when online. The free plan costs nothing, allows three scans daily and one folder, and limits each Pro feature to three uses weekly. Pro costs $4.99 a month and adds unlimited scans, batch scanning, folders, integrations, and priority support.
