All of our best apps roundups are written by humans who've spent much of their careers using, testing, and writing about software.
We spend dozens of hours researching and testing apps, using each app as it's intended to be used and evaluating it against the criteria we set for the category. We're never paid for placement in our articles from any app or for links to any site—we value the trust readers put in us to offer authentic evaluations of the categories and apps we review. For more details on our process, read the full rundown of how we select apps to feature on the Zapier blog. If you could look under the hood of a business card scanner app, you'd find OCR optical character recognition software.
This decades-old technology, simply put, converts images to text. First, it scans the card's structure, then divides that into blocks of text and images, dropping the text and numbers into their respective contact fields within the app.
If all goes well, the contact info matches the business card. But scanning accuracy varies across apps, and that, in part, is what separates the good from the meh. Unusual fonts, background colors, and the arrangement of the info on a card all affect how the app's OCR handles the data. Good scanners can usually accurately capture most of a card's details, no matter how a business card is designed.
Integration and sharing options e. Finally, we looked for apps that have special features such as multi-card capture, design suites, and company contact management capabilities. BizConnect Android, iOS.
BizConnect produces the closest I found to perfect scan accuracy. It's the only app that consistently found and linked social media accounts, captured blurry and unusual fonts, and identified words that the others just missed.
BizConnect is also easy to use and thoughtfully designed to give users plenty of features without feeling overwhelmed. From the Holder screen, you'll find all of your contacts with their card image, name, title, company, and when they were added.
Next to each contact is a handy options menu that lets you call, email, and share without having to even open the card.
At the top of this screen are color-coded options to export, import, add to CRM, and perform other actions. The scan button is prominently displayed at the bottom. Clicking Scan gives options to scan a single card front and back , a QR code, or scan in batch, which means scanning one card after the other.
Once scanned, you'll get a processing message, and within a few minutes, you'll have a completed contact. Though it's a bit slower than other apps on this list, it's worth the wait. I tested business cards that gave all the others trouble, and BizConnect was close to perfect. In addition to stellar scans, it also comes with task setting, activity tracking, and reports showing daily and monthly leads captured.
There's even a barebones CRM where you can add deal stages, tasks, and activities with a revenue feature tracking all won deals. Or, if you want to connect to a different app, you can do that with BizConnect's Zapier integrations.
Zapier lets you connect BizConnect to thousands of apps, so you can do things like add new BizConnect business cards to Google Sheets or create a new person in Copper from a BizConnect scanned business card. BizConnect price: Free plan can scan up to cards; paid plans from 6. Sansan Android, iOS, Web. The app is designed for teams and companies who regularly acquire a good deal of contacts and want the ability to share and manage them internally. For this purpose, several features stand out: multiple card scanning with the app; human transcribers for reduced data entry and better accuracy; contact management functions, such as departments and permissions; and bulk actions, such as email, reminders, and sharing.
And for those wanting to avoid paper, they now offer virtual cards for contactless sharing. Scanning multiple cards is easy: just arrange up to four cards vertically, and when the blue circles stop on each card, press the shutter. Accuracy is solid, and then you have the human "digitization" to proof and edit the fields if needed. I found the digitization took around 12 hours per batch on average about four hours for a single card , but you can begin working with a contact right away.
Within a contact, you can add notes and tags, share the card with a colleague via text or email, and see which of your colleagues are already connected to them. You can also create lists and send bulk emails from customizable templates from your web account.
Once sent, you'll be able to track the number of emails opened other activities tracked include meetings and calls. With fewer in-person meetings because of the pandemic, Sansan added a virtual card feature that lets you share your contact details using a link or QR code.
These can be added just about anywhere: email signature, Zoom presentation, calendar invite, website, etc. The recipient will be able to download the card as a CSV, vCard, or copy the text.
As administrator, you can create departments and add users individually or bulk , providing them with permissions such as contact edits, downloading data, and viewing reports. The security settings allow you to set which contacts your team members can then view and update. Employees can then search the company database of contacts by company, position, keywords, and other attributes. Plus, with Sansan's Zapier Integrations , you can do things like automatically adding new business cards as leads in your CRM or email marketing tool.
Sansan Price: Free plan can scan up to 99 cards; Paid plans are custom, based on user numbers or the number of business cards. Whether to save trees or reduce physical sharing during the pandemic, the case for creating and sharing digital business cards rather than paper is strong.
With L-Card Pro , you're accomplishing both of these goals with the ability to create a custom digital card with multichannel sharing. When you first open the app, you're asked if you want to build your own card, create a fast card, or scan a paper card.
