Cardhop vs ConnectMachine

Cardhop is a contacts app for iOS and macOS for searching, adding, editing, and acting on contact information. Its natural-language parser accepts text commands for finding people or changing details. Actions include calls, messages, FaceTime, group email, and group messaging. The app works with device contact accounts and can search Google Contacts, Google Workspace, and Exchange Global Address Lists. It also connects to Exchange, Microsoft 365, and Google Workspace directories for organizational contacts. On iPhone and iPad, printed business cards can be scanned and parsed into new contacts. A visual view shows relationships between contacts, while Fantastical integration can create an event with a contact or group as invitees. Flexibits says contact accounts, passwords, and contacts remain on the device rather than being sent to its servers. The Free plan costs nothing and includes basic Cardhop and Fantastical features with existing accounts. Cardhop does not merge duplicate contacts.

ConnectMachine is a digital business card app and personal CRM for people who network for a living. Cards can be shared by QR code, Apple Wallet or Google Wallet pass, or a link that works on any phone. Its AI scanner turns paper cards into searchable contacts. The AI Note Taker transcribes and summarizes voice notes and attaches them to the relevant contact. An AI Concierge searches saved cards, notes, and meetings in plain language. Listed integrations include Salesforce, HubSpot, Notion, Google Contacts, Slack, Zapier, and MCP; the maker says Zapier and MCP connect to more than 5,000 apps. Plans include a free tier, Individual at $5.00 per month billed annually, and Team at $25.00 per month for five seats billed annually. The pricing note says paid plans start at $5.99/user/mo. Apps are available for Android, iOS, and macOS, with API access.
