CardAction is an Android and iOS app that turns business cards into contact records and helps users organize and follow up with those contacts. 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 sort contacts into smart folders, export vCard files, or share their own contact through a vCard 4.0 QR code. From a scanned contact, they can start a WhatsApp message, call, email, or SMS. Contacts can sync to Google Sheets or go by webhook to services such as Zapier, Make, HubSpot, or a user's own API. The maker says OCR works without internet, with data saved locally and not uploaded to the cloud; external syncing happens when online. The free plan allows three scans daily and one folder, with each Pro feature available three times per week. Pro costs $4.99 per month and includes unlimited scans, batch scanning, unlimited folders, integrations, and priority support.
Who it is for
It suits people who collect business cards and want to organize, export, or follow up with contacts from a phone. The maker highlights sales teams and event organizers who want Google Sheets sync.
