Why people go looking for a Popl alternative

Popl made its name on NFC hardware: the tap-to-share tags, cards and wristbands. That works fine. But plenty of people want more than a tap that opens a link. They want a card that looks like their brand, plays a short video, and pulls the other person's details back to them. That's usually the moment the search for a Popl alternative starts.

eBiz Smart Cards comes at it from the other end. The card comes first, fully designed and free to start, and NFC is just one of several ways to share it. Here's an honest look at how the two compare, plus what to check before you switch.

Quick answer: eBiz is a full digital business card with custom design, video, QR and NFC, and people save it without downloading an app. Popl leans on NFC hardware. If you want the whole card and not just the tap, eBiz is the stronger fit.
POPL VS EBIZ

What you actually get with eBiz Smart Cards

Three things that tend to matter most once you move past a plain NFC tag.

Truly your design

Upload your own artwork and build a card that matches your brand instead of a stock template. Add photos and a video so your first impression carries some weight.

No app to receive it

Tap, scan or send a link and your card opens in any browser. The person on the other end saves your details on the spot, with nothing to install.

Share every way

QR code, NFC, Airdrop, text or link. You're not tied to one piece of hardware, so leaving the card at home doesn't leave you stuck.
