One identity layer.
Different needs at every scale.
Free is a complete way to be an IDConnect identity — not a trial. Paid tiers cap projection scale, never identity itself.

- NFC card, QR code, email signature, and direct-link sharing
- Unlimited updates — replace once, propagate everywhere
- Curated themes; customize within templates
- vCard download for any contact app
- Passkey-first signup — no password, no app required
For organizations
- Organization-wide branding, templates, required fields
- Centralized dashboard for managing team identities
- SSO integration with your IdP — or use IDConnect as one
- Up to 3 AI agent identities (BIs) sized for your team
- Per-organization analytics without surveillance
- Flat $19 / month — no per-seat pricing
For agents (first-class at every tier)
- Agent identities sit beside human identities on the same surface
- A baseline "Commander" agent included on Free
- Agent-shaped authentication paths (passkeys, OIDC machine flows)
- Per-agent capability declarations and audit trails
- Proposals + approvals workflow for agent-initiated actions
- Agent vIDs federate the same way human vIDs do
For enterprises
- Unlimited identities, ventures, BI agents
- Custom adapter development for in-house systems
- Private deployment options — SaaS, private cloud, or on-prem
- Custom doctrine layer + private templates
- Immutable audit log with SOC 2 / ISO export

We pulled this straight from each provider's own public pricing pages. No fine print we didn't also link to.

| Cheapest paid individual tier | Not needed — Free is the complete individual product | $6/mo (annual) — 16 cards, 20 scans/mo | Not publicly listed — quote only | $7.33/mo (annual) — up to 5 cards | $5/mo (annual) — custom themes, no commerce fee cut |

| Real cost for a 20-person team | $19/mo | $100/mo | Unknown — sales quote required | $99.80/mo | N/A — not built for this |

What "free" and "$19/mo" actually add up to.
Popl's cheapest individual tier isn't publicly priced, so it's left out of this total rather than guessed at.
That's over $970/yr back in your pocket vs. the two team plans that are actually priced in public. Popl requires a sales quote; Linktree has no team tier at all.

We're not the only real option here.
HiHello
The closest like-for-like: real digital business cards, real team dashboard, real SSO. It's a fair, mature product — the difference is IDConnect's team tier is flat instead of per-seat, and IDConnect treats AI agents as identities, not just a human-card tool.
Popl
Strong on event lead-capture and enrichment, and its team pricing is genuinely uncapped-usage. The tradeoff is opacity — nothing is publicly priced, so every team has to go through a sales quote to know what they would pay.
Blinq
Sharp individual pricing and a real admin dashboard at the Business tier. SSO is gated all the way to Enterprise (custom pricing, 100+ seats) — a small team that wants SSO on Blinq has nowhere to go until then.
Linktree
The most recognized name here, but a different category underneath: a link-in-bio page, not a contact card. No NFC, no vCard fields, no team identity management — and it takes a commission (12% on Free, down to 0% only at $24/mo) on anything you sell through it.
Pricing and feature data verified against each provider's own public pricing pages as of July 2026: HiHello, Popl, Blinq, and public pricing coverage of Linktree. All are independent companies with no affiliation to IDConnect; their pricing changes over time, so confirm current terms directly with them before deciding. "20-person team" and annualized totals are illustrative math from each provider's own published monthly/per-seat rate, not a quote from that provider.
