The paper business card is dying. It’s expensive to print, bad for the environment, and the moment you change your phone number, thousands of them become trash.
In its place, a wave of “digital business card” services has emerged. They offer slick NFC cards or custom QR codes that link to a flashy profile page.
But there’s a catch. Actually, two catches:
- The Rent: Many of these services charge a monthly subscription to keep your “pro” features active.
- The Lock-in: Your professional identity now lives on their servers. If they hike their prices or go out of business, your networking tool vanishes.
The Case for the Static vCard
We believe sharing your contact info shouldn’t require a SaaS contract.
The vCard (Virtual Contact File) standard has existed for decades. It’s universally understood by every iPhone and Android device on the planet. It doesn’t need a server to work; it just needs data.
How QR Safe Does It Better
Our vCard template uses our core zero-knowledge architecture to give you a frictionless, free alternative.
1. Scan to Save (No Typing Needed)
When someone scans your QR Safe code, they don’t just get a text list of your details. They get a structured contact card.
Our reader page presents a clear “Save Contact” button. One tap, and your full name, company, role, email, and phone number are instantly added to their phone’s address book. No typos, no friction.
2. Zero “Link Rot”
Because your contact data is encoded directly into the QR link (not stored in a database row that can be deleted if you stop paying), your QR code works forever.
You can print it on a sticker for the back of your phone, add it to your presentation slides, or put it on your conference badge. It will work today, tomorrow, and in ten years.
3. Privacy by Default
Professional networking often means oversharing. Do you really want a third-party startup tracking every time someone scans your card at a conference?
With QR Safe, that data exchange is private between you and the person scanning. We don’t track it, and we don’t store it.
