What "free" actually means here

The CardToDeal free business card scanner pricing model is simple: there is no paid tier on cardtodeal.com. Five scans per day per device, every day, no account required. If you run a small exhibition stand or a one-person field sales operation, that is usually enough. The CardToDeal free plan never asks for a credit card and never degrades the result.

What you get for free

Every scan returns the same fields whether you use one scan or all five — there is no degraded free version. The visiting card scanner app free tier on CardToDeal is the full product.

How CardToDeal stays free

Two revenue streams keep this scanner free for users: discreet display ads on non-scan pages, and our sister product VynDeal CRM. When a CardToDeal user needs more than a daily scan count — pipelines, quotes, invoices, distributor visibility — they upgrade to VynDeal. The free scanner stays free because the paid CRM exists. See how this works on our about page.

"The free scanner stays free because the paid CRM exists. You only pay when scanning a card stops being the job and closing the deal starts." — CardToDeal pricing principle

Frequently asked pricing questions

Is there a paid tier on CardToDeal?

No. CardToDeal stays free forever. If you need more than five scans per day or a full pipeline view, move to VynDeal CRM, whose paid plans start at about $9 per user per month.

What counts as one scan?

One card image equals one scan, whether you upload it or capture it via camera. Re-scanning the same image counts again.

Can I pay to remove the daily limit?

Not on CardToDeal. Heavy users move to VynDeal, where scanning is bundled with the CRM and the daily cap does not apply.
