Pick Leady if
You exhibit at trade shows, expos, or conventions, want every rep capturing into one shared event, and don't want a per-seat or per-scan bill.
Pick Blinq if
You mainly need a polished digital business card to share day-to-day, not a team lead-capture workflow built around events.
The honest take
These are different tools doing different jobs. Plenty of people use both. We just don't charge you to capture leads.
Side by side. The features that matter at the booth.

Price
Free shouldn't mean limited.
Blinq's lead-capture features sit behind paid tiers, often priced per user and gated by scan volume. That works for individuals. It adds up fast for a team of reps working a three-day expo.
Leady is free for unlimited leads, unlimited events, and unlimited team members. No credit card, no per-scan ceiling, no “upgrade to export.”
Team workflow
Built for a team at a booth, not a solo card-swap.
Blinq started as a digital business card. It's great at sharing your details one-to-one. It's less great at five reps capturing into the same event and seeing who's ahead in real time.
Leady is event-first: shared events, live leaderboards, lead status pipelines, and an opportunity score so the team can triage on the trip home, not next week.
Where the leads go next
Your leads, yours to take anywhere.
Export every event to CSV the moment it wraps. Your data is yours to use in any CRM, spreadsheet, or tool you already run. No lock-in, nothing to unlock.
If you're an FMCG rep heading into expo season (bottle shops, hospitality buyers, distributors), that matters. You shouldn't have to re-type 200 leads into another system on Monday morning.
Common questions. Straight answers.
Try Leady at your next event. It costs nothing.
