SmartCards vs Linq
Honest. Side by side. No spin.
Linq is a well-known name in the NFC card space, largely on the strength of US marketing. Ordering it into Nigeria is a different story.
Linq charges $6–$25/mo USD and requires its own app to unlock the full experience. SmartCards costs ₦30,000 once, in naira, and never again.
SmartCards ships free to every city in Nigeria, requires no app on either side, and comes with 5 modes, a built-in CRM, and 5GB of Smart Drive storage. Linq's US-focused subscription model doesn't extend the same way here.
From ₦30,000. No monthly fees.
Pay once, use forever. Update your details as many times as you need — the card never expires.
Built-in CRM
Whoever taps your card can share their contact details back in seconds — you collect leads through a built-in contact exchange.
Tap to share — no app needed
iPhone or Android, old or new — if it has a camera or NFC, it works. No one needs to download anything.
