CallCard vs Haystack

CallCard is a web-based digital business card with visitor messaging, a built-in CRM, and field-level privacy controls. Visitors can message, call, save, share, upload files, or open a map from a card without an app or visitor signup. Card owners choose visibility for each field. A dashboard tracks visits, replies, and collected contacts with timestamps, and contacts can be grouped. Cards can display timezone-aware availability. The product also supports estimates, quotes, invoices, payment tracking, overdue reminders, and a reusable service catalog. The free plan costs nothing and includes two cards, one custom URL per card, CRM and collections, privacy controls, messaging and file uploads, and a QR code with the owner’s logo. Pro costs $9.90 a month or 95 USD per year, with 10% GST for AU customers; it includes five cards and 100MB file uploads retained for 30 days. New accounts start with a 90-day Pro trial without a credit card. Teams is marked coming soon, with custom pricing listed.

Haystack provides branded digital business cards for networking and sharing contact details. Cards can be distributed by QR code, text, email, LinkedIn, iMessage, NFC, or unique link; recipients can open them without installing the app. Its paper-card scanner uses AI to turn received cards into contacts or CRM records. For teams, administrators can manage shared contact details, control which fields users may edit, customize designs, and track engagement. Named integrations include Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspaces, HRIS software, Zapier, webhooks, and a public REST API; Salesforce, MS Dynamics, and HubSpot are also named as connectable CRM platforms. Haystack says it has SOC 2 accreditation, complies with GDPR, conducts penetration testing and third-party cybersecurity audits, and does not sell user data to advertisers. The Personal plan is free at free. Pro costs $7.95 a month and Business costs $4.95 a month, both billed monthly and including 14 days free. The FAQ says the free version allows one card per email address; multiple cards for one address are available on paid plans. Haystack offers Android, iOS, web, and API access.
