All checked on 31 July 2026
We put our own product next to theirs and did not tilt the table
Five comparisons, one rule: every price and every limit was read off the other company's own website, and the date we checked is written into each page. Where a rival beats us, that page has a section saying so by name.
The short version. Ahoyy is free for the part most people need, prices in rupees, speaks Hindi, and gives your shop a public page that search engines can read. We sell no NFC hardware, we have no CRM integrations, and our mobile app is in TestFlight rather than on the public app stores. Those are the trade-offs, on every page below.
The five comparisons
Open any of them from the links at the bottom of this page. Each one has a full feature table, the real prices in the currency they are published in, a section on where that product beats Ahoyy, and a section on where Ahoyy beats it.

| Ahoyy vs HiHello | HiHello has the most generous free tier here: 4 cards, wallet passes and 5 card scans a month. Professional is $6 a month. |
| Ahoyy vs Popl | Popl is an event lead capture platform sold through a demo call. It publishes no price on its pricing page. |
| Ahoyy vs Uniqode | Uniqode, formerly Beaconstac, is a dynamic QR platform with cards beside it. Team cards are $6 per user per month, and billing is annual only. |
| Ahoyy vs Mobilo | Mobilo is hardware-led. NFC cards list from $19.99 to $139, with software from $3 a month. |
What we will not do on these pages
- • We will not state a price we could not read on the other company’s own site. If it is not published, the page says it is not published.
- • We will not call another product bad. They are all real products with real customers.
- • We will not quote a rating, a review count or a user number for Ahoyy. We have none, and inventing one is both dishonest and against Google’s structured data rules.
- • We will not hide the parts where we lose. Every page names them.
- • We will not leave a stale number up. Each page carries the date it was checked so you can judge how old the facts are.
Where Ahoyy usually wins
- • Price in India. The core is free forever, and the paid tiers are Rs 299 and Rs 799 a month with a Rs 199 one-time option. None of the five publishes a rupee price.
- • Shop pages that search engines can read. Your business gets a public page at ahoyy.app/b/your-shop with services, prices, photos, a map pin and a UPI QR.
- • Hindi. The app, the business screens and our 12-category, 84-service taxonomy are bilingual.
- • The phonebook. Import with a duplicate filter, notes on a person, and the place where you met them.
- • UPI, with nobody in the middle. Your QR, your money, no cut taken.
Where Ahoyy usually loses
- • No NFC hardware. We do not make or sell a card you can tap.
- • No CRM integrations. No Salesforce, no HubSpot, no Zapier.
- • No wallet passes for Apple Wallet or Google Wallet.
- • No public app store listing. The mobile app is in TestFlight, and the web app covers the rest.
- • No enterprise controls. No SSO, no SCIM, no SOC 2 report, no named account manager.
- • No long track record. Every product on this list is older than we are.
Common questions
- Are these comparisons fair?
- That is for you to judge, but here is the method. Every competitor price and limit came from their own website, fetched on 31 July 2026, and the URLs and date are recorded in a comment at the top of each page file. Anything we could not verify was left out rather than estimated. Every page has a section naming where the other product is better.
- Which product has the best free plan?
- It depends what free means to you. HiHello gives four cards, wallet passes and five card scans a month for nothing. Blinq gives two cards. Uniqode covers your first card. Ahoyy is free forever for the card, the public page, the QR, WhatsApp sharing, the contact map and two directory reveals a day, and it does not cap you at a card count.
- Which is cheapest for someone in India?
- Ahoyy, because the core is free and the paid tiers are in rupees at Rs 299 and Rs 799 a month. None of the five publishes an Indian price, so anything you buy from them is a dollar charge on your card at the rate on the day.
- Do any of these give me an NFC card?
- Blinq sells NFC cards through its app and website, and Mobilo sells NFC cards in plastic, wood and metal with list prices from $19.99 to $139. Ahoyy sells no hardware. If you already own a blank NFC card, most of them can be programmed with any web link, including your free Ahoyy link.
- Why is Ahoyy not on the App Store or Play Store?
- The mobile app is currently distributed through TestFlight. Everything else runs in a browser, so you can make your card, share it, and manage your shop page without installing anything. We would rather say this plainly than have you find out after signing up.
- How often do you check these prices?
- Each page carries the date it was last checked, and all five say 31 July 2026. Prices in this category move, so treat the date as part of the fact and check the source before you buy.
- Do you mention competitors anywhere else on the site?
- No. Rival names live here and in the blog only. Our product pages, our homepage and our landing pages never mention another company.
The free half costs nothing to test
