Comparison
JomContact vs Blinq
Both make digital business cards. Only one also remembers everyone you have ever met.
Quick verdict
Blinq is a solid free digital business card — generous free tier, clean cards, optional NFC hardware. JomContact does the same outbound card, plus the inbound side: scan paper cards into structured contacts, then search them in plain English, Malay, or Mandarin. If you only need a digital card to share, Blinq's free tier is hard to beat. If you also collect cards and want to remember everyone, JomContact does both jobs in one place.
Who it is built for
Blinq
Anyone who wants a free, polished digital business card to share — and optionally bolt on NFC hardware later.
JomContact
Networkers who give and receive cards — and want a memory that holds up after meeting hundreds of people across years.

Where Blinq wins
Blinq's free tier is genuinely generous — if all you need is a free digital business card to share at events, you may not need to pay anyone, and Blinq is fine. They also sell good NFC hardware. JomContact is paid sooner, but that is because the AI search and OCR side cost real money to run. You are paying for the inbound half of networking, which Blinq does not focus on.
