Dot
What it is
Dot lets users share a customizable dot.Profile with a tap from a dot.device, a profile QR code, or a username link. Recipients open shared profiles in a phone browser, and Dot says no app is needed to use a dot.device. A profile can contain contact details, social, productivity, payment, and music links, as well as a bio, profile picture, and banner. The free profile includes two-way contact exchange, basic contact management, Apple Wallet and Android Wallet integration, a basic QR code, and a profile username. dot.Profile+ adds an AI scanner that turns paper business cards into downloadable digital contacts, plus advanced contact management and contact export. The listed dot.Profile+ plan costs $15 a month and includes a seven-day free trial; an annual option advertises a 20% saving. Dot.Teams is presented for teams turning business cards into lead magnets and advertises free custom devices. Any phone with a camera can scan the profile QR code, while NFC tapping depends on the phone's NFC capability. Dot's privacy policy notes that its security measures are not perfect or impenetrable and that information sent may not be secure in transit.
