What the published prices mean for a team.
Per-card pricing is cheaper for very small teams. Five cards at $4.99 to $6.99 cost $24.95 to $34.95 a month, which is below EUR 88. Taking the published numbers at face value, the flat price is lower from about 13 cards (at $6.99) or 18 cards (at $4.99). Exchange rates, VAT, annual discounts and any extras move that line, so run your own numbers. Check Blinq's current pricing first.

Which one fits.
If you are a handful of reps who want a good-looking card, per-card plans can cost less. If you are a larger sales team, an exhibitor or a leader who wants to see every rep and placement, a flat price and a per-rep funnel are the reasons to look at 1Namecard. You can also run both at one show. Starter is free and takes about 2 minutes to set up.
