Dot vs KADO

Dot lets people share a customizable dot.Profile using a dot.device tap, a profile QR code, or a username link. Recipients open shared profiles in a phone browser; Dot says a dot.device does not require the recipient to have an app. Profiles can bring together contact details, social, productivity, payment and music links, along with a bio, profile picture and banner. The free dot.Profile includes two-way contact exchange, basic contact management, a basic QR code, a username and Apple Wallet and Android Wallet integration. It costs nothing, billed Free for life, and is included with a one-time dot.device purchase. dot.Profile+ costs $15 a month and offers a 7-day free trial. It adds an AI scanner for turning paper business cards into downloadable contacts, plus advanced contact management and contact export. Dot.Teams is presented for teams using business cards to capture leads and advertises free custom devices. Any camera-equipped phone can scan a profile QR code; NFC tapping depends on the phone's NFC capability.

KADO is a digital business card platform with contact management and CRM synchronization. Cards can be shared by QR code, link, Apple Wallet, Google Wallet, email signature, or NFC card. The service captures contacts and supports notes, tags, tasks, and contact records. Admins can manage users, roles, permissions, branding, and bulk card updates from a dashboard. Listed integrations include Salesforce, HubSpot, Dynamics, and Zapier Webhooks, along with Active Directory, Google Contacts, Outlook Contacts, and Outlook email and calendar. Access is available on Android, iOS, and web. Networker Lite is free for one user and includes an interactive card and contact capture, with no credit card required. Paid plans start at $2.50 per user per month; Networker is $2.50 a month and Business Developer is $4 a month. Recipients opening QR or NFC-shared profiles do not need the KADO app. KADO does not manufacture or sell NFC cards, so users obtain compatible cards from third-party suppliers and encode them in the app.
