HiHello alternative

A digital card that looks like a card.

HiHello pioneered the digital business card. Prflio is the modern alternative — better-looking themes, simpler pricing, and an NFC product that ships in days, not weeks. Same goal, different taste.

TL;DR

Same job. Better design, simpler pricing.

  • 01

    Both products do tap-to-share, save-to-contacts, and analytics. The differences are price, taste, and tier structure.

  • 02

    Prflio Pro is $2/month annual. HiHello Professional is $6/month. Prflio Pro Plus ($4/mo) is still cheaper than HiHello Professional and includes analytics.

  • 03

    Prflio ships 12 hand-designed themes. HiHello leans on user-uploaded backgrounds and logo-driven layouts — closer to a digital ID badge than a card.

Where Prflio wins

Better-looking, better-priced, less to learn.

Cards that look like cards

Prflio ships 12 themes designed by hand — Parchment, Fern, Ivory, Noir, Fog. HiHello cards lean toward "ID badge" with a logo-and-background structure. We optimize for the personal-business card aesthetic, not the corporate badge.

Pricing built for individuals

Prflio Pro is $2/month annual. HiHello Professional starts at $6/month. If all you need is "more than one card and hide the branding," our Pro tier saves you $48/year over HiHello.

Three tiers, not five

Free, Pro, Pro Plus, Team. HiHello has Free, Professional, Business, Premium Business, and Enterprise — and feature-gating decisions ladder across all five. Prflio is easier to pick from on day one.

Where HiHello wins

HiHello has had years to build out the long tail.

HiHello has been shipping since 2018 and has built features Prflio has not gotten to yet. If any of these are deal-breakers for you, HiHello is the right call.

  • Paper card scanner

    HiHello scans physical business cards into your phone with OCR. Prflio does not — we focus on the card you give out, not the cards you receive.

  • Native CRM integrations

    HiHello pushes new contacts into Salesforce, HubSpot, and a few others on the Business tier. Prflio CRM integrations are coming, not shipping today.

  • Native Android app

    HiHello has a mature Android app. Prflio is iOS-only at launch — Android is on the roadmap but not in your hands today.

  • Video on the card

    HiHello supports an embedded intro video. Prflio supports a static cover image and headshot — by design, to keep cards fast-loading and printable.

Pick the right tool

It depends on your workflow.

Choose Prflio if
  • You want a card that looks like a card, not an ID badge
  • You want simple pricing — three tiers, not five
  • You are an individual, founder, or small team picking your own tools
  • iOS is your primary phone
  • You value design taste over feature surface area
Choose HiHello if
  • You need a built-in business-card scanner for paper cards you receive
  • Salesforce or HubSpot CRM integration is non-negotiable
  • Your team is on Android — Prflio Android is on the roadmap, not here yet
  • You want video on the card
  • Your IT team requires SCIM or SSO at the enterprise tier
Switching from HiHello

Bring your fields, leave the badges.

HiHello exports your card as a vCard. Prflio reads vCard fields natively, so the migration is essentially: export from HiHello, fill in Prflio, ship. Most people finish in under fifteen minutes including theme selection.

  1. STEP 01Sign up free at prflio.com/sign-up.
  2. STEP 02In HiHello, open your card → More → Export vCard. Save the .vcf file.
  3. STEP 03Open the .vcf in any text editor and copy the FN, TEL, EMAIL, and URL fields into your Prflio editor.
  4. STEP 04Pick a Prflio theme that matches your brand — Parchment for warm, Fog for clean, Ember for bold.
  5. STEP 05Update your NFC card to point to your new prflio.com slug, or order a fresh card from your dashboard.
FAQ

Prflio vs HiHello, answered.

Is Prflio cheaper than HiHello?
Yes, on every comparable tier. Prflio Pro ($2/mo annual) covers what HiHello Professional ($6/mo) covers. Prflio Pro Plus ($4/mo) adds analytics — still cheaper than HiHello Professional. The only place HiHello wins on cost is its free tier (3 cards) vs ours (1 card).
Can I import my HiHello card?
Yes, manually. Export your HiHello card as a vCard, copy the fields into Prflio. We do not have a one-click import — and at the size of an average business card, you genuinely do not need one.
Does Prflio have a paper-card scanner like HiHello?
Not yet, and it is not on our short-term roadmap. We optimize for the card you give out. If scanning paper cards into your phone is core to your workflow, HiHello is the better choice.
What about CRM integrations?
HiHello has direct Salesforce and HubSpot integrations on the Business tier. Prflio integrations are in development. Today you can export your visitor list as CSV and upload it.
Is the NFC card the same on both?
Functionally yes — both write a profile URL to a tag your phone can read. Prflio cards ship from US warehouses; HiHello cards ship from a partner network. Material and feel differ between vendors.
Do you have an Android app?
Coming soon. Prflio is iOS-only at launch. Public Prflio profiles work in any browser on any phone — only the editor and NFC writer are app-gated. HiHello has both apps shipping today.
