Yes! No trials, no freemium tiers, no hidden fees. Everything is free forever. We don't believe in charging for basic networking tools.
There's no catch. We built Yoyo because we were frustrated with expensive digital business card services that charge hidden fees (like Blinq's $5 per badge scan). We keep costs low by using modern infrastructure (Cloudflare) and keeping the product simple. No ads, no data selling, no credit systems, just a useful tool.
We might add optional premium features in the future (like custom domains or advanced analytics), but the core product will always be 100% free. Current users will never be forced to pay.
Nope! Unlike Popl, you don't need to buy any physical cards. Your digital card works via QR code, link sharing, or phone bump. Completely digital, completely free.
Absolutely not. Unlike Blinq (which often requires recipients to download their app or share their email), anyone can scan your Yoyo card with their phone's camera and save your contact instantly. No app, no account, no friction. Works with every smartphone.
Yes! Create as many cards as you need. Different card for work vs. side projects? No problem.
We're 100% free (they charge $3-15/month), require no app download (they all require apps), and work instantly in any browser (they require setup and downloads). Plus, we include an AI card scanner for free that competitors either don't offer or charge for.
