A Blinq alternative where every connection is yours
Blinq Business bills custom lead forms per captured lead on top of the seat. Autonix Cards include the Connect form, the intro email to both people and the full connections list on a flat price.
Who this is for: Sales reps, field teams and small businesses who hand out a card and want the follow-up to start itself.
No app required · 3 cards free · Starter $9/mo
What Autonix does differently
A connections list, not just a saved contact
When someone taps Connect on your card, both of you get an intro email and the contact lands in your list with a note. Export it as CSV.
Instant intro email to both people
The follow-up starts itself. No app for the person scanning, no "did they save it?"
Flat price, no per-lead fees
Cards Starter is $9 a month for 10 cards with the full connections list; Beyond drops the Autonix caption on the QR. Connections are never billed per lead.
Cards next to everything else you scan
Cards, signage, packaging, event check-ins and short links in one dashboard, with the same tags and reports.

Where Blinq wins
- Polished native apps, Apple and Google Wallet cards, and NFC products.
- Native CRM integrations (Salesforce, HubSpot, Microsoft) and AI contact enrichment on Business.
- Enterprise provisioning (SSO, SCIM) for organisations rolling out thousands of cards.
Where it falls short
- Lead capture forms on Business are billed per captured lead on top of the seat price.
- The free tier stops at two cards and the Premium tier at five; a rep with several roles or events pays per seat.
- Analytics are about the card. There is no portfolio view that puts cards next to signage, packaging, or check-ins.
Pick Blinq when
- You want Wallet cards and an NFC product with a polished native app.
- You need native Salesforce or HubSpot sync and enrichment per lead, and the per-lead fee is fine.
- You are rolling out thousands of cards with SCIM.
Pick Autonix when
- You want the person who scans to be able to connect, and both of you to get an email, without buying a lead-capture add-on.
- You need more than five cards on an individual plan.
- You also put QR codes on signs, packaging or event check-ins and want them in the same dashboard.
