Why LiNK Chooses QR Over NFC
You’ll notice LiNK doesn’t use NFC (Near Field Communication) technology — and that’s a deliberate decision, not a limitation. QR codes are natively supported by every modern smartphone camera without a separate app, work at any distance, and don’t require physical proximity or contact to scan. NFC requires the recipient’s device to be within inches of your card and depends on NFC being enabled — which many users have turned off for security reasons. LiNK’s QR-first approach means faster, more reliable sharing in real-world networking situations, with no compatibility issues and no security vulnerabilities associated with passive NFC broadcasting.
Price Transparency
LiNK starts at $3 per month — less than a cup of coffee — and includes every feature listed in the comparison table above. Dot charges $10 per month for a comparable plan, and Blinq charges $5.89 per month with key features gated behind higher tiers. LiNK’s pricing reflects a veteran-owned company’s commitment to making professional-grade networking tools accessible to every professional, not just enterprise buyers.
