CardAction
What it is
CardAction is an Android and iOS app for turning business cards into contact records and helping users follow up. Its on-device AI extracts names, email addresses, phone numbers, job titles, and company details, and it can process a stack of cards in one session. Users can organize scanned contacts into smart folders, export them as vCard files, or share their own contact using a vCard 4.0 QR code. A scanned contact can start a WhatsApp message, call, email, or SMS. Contacts can sync to Google Sheets or be sent by webhook to services such as Zapier, Make, HubSpot, or a user's API. The maker says OCR works without internet and does not upload data to the cloud; contacts are stored locally and sync with external services when online. The free plan allows three scans per day and one folder, with each Pro feature available three times a week; counters reset every Monday. Pro costs $4.99/mo and includes unlimited scans, batch scanning, unlimited folders, Google Sheets sync, webhooks, auto-save to contacts, and priority support. Pro can be cancelled through the App Store or Google Play, with access continuing through the billing period.
