What It Is

HeyDrop is a digital business card and lead capture tool built around in-person business networking. It lets users create a branded digital business card in about 2 minutes and save it to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, then share it via QR code, AirDrop, or link. Recipients do not need to install an app; they can view the card in a browser and save the contact with one tap. The product also includes an AI Contact Scanner for scanning paper business cards, event badges, QR codes, and other digital business cards, turning people you meet into digital contacts.

Core Capabilities and Integrations

Based on publicly available information, HeyDrop’s core workflow is “share card — capture leads — sync to CRM.” Contacts can be synced to iPhone Contacts, pushed to HubSpot CRM, or exported via CSV/Excel. The team version offers centralized card management, unified branding, and consolidated billing, and its FAQ mentions that admins can centrally control permissions and branding. However, aside from HubSpot, it does not list native integrations with common CRMs such as Salesforce, Pipedrive, or Zoho, and there is no clear information about API or developer support.

Pricing and Target Users

The free plan is permanently $0 and includes 1 basic card, QR code, unlimited links, and 3 AI scans, making it suitable for individuals who want to try it occasionally. Pro costs $3.75/month when billed annually, or $9.99/month when billed monthly, and includes advanced designs, iPhone sync, 3 business cards, a custom URL, and 100 AI scans per month. The team plan is priced per card: Small Team is $2.99/month/card with a minimum of 5 cards; Medium Team is $1.99/month/card with a minimum of 50 cards; Large Team is custom-priced, requires at least 100 cards, and includes a dedicated account manager. Overall, the pricing is attractive for sales teams, trade shows, entrepreneurs, and marketing teams.

Security, Deployment, and Support

HeyDrop is a cloud service with a mobile app and web-based purchasing flow; self-hosted deployment is not mentioned. On security, the official site states that it uses encryption in transit and at rest, scoped access, and GDPR controls. At the same time, its terms make clear that the service is not intended for scenarios requiring compliance with industry-specific regulations such as HIPAA, FISMA, or GLBA. As a result, it should be sufficient for general business contact management, but organizations in heavily regulated industries should evaluate it carefully.

Pros, Cons, and Access from China

Its strengths are a low barrier to use, no app required for recipients, coverage of key offline lead-generation workflows, and friendly pricing for both the free plan and entry-level team usage. Its limitations include limited disclosure of native integrations, insufficient detail on permission granularity and compliance certifications, and the lack of an API. Access from mainland China, Chinese-language UI, and local payment options are not explained in the main site content. Payments are handled by Apple and Paddle, so business procurement may involve foreign currency and tax considerations. If using it in China, it is recommended to test network connectivity first. Alternatives to consider include WeCom business cards, local CRM business card scanning tools, or similar products such as Popl, HiHello, and Blinq.
