Compare Spreadly vs Wave: features, pricing, pros & cons. Discover which digital business card fits your needs. Updated October 2026.
Wave and Spreadly both offer digital business cards with NFC cards, Apple Wallet and Google Wallet support and offline lead capture for events. Recipients open the card in their browser and save your details with one tap, with no app needed. Both platforms provide a team dashboard, centrally managed email signatures and CRM and directory integrations.
With Spreadly, lead capture, badge scanning and AI enrichment are included in the Professional plan, so costs at events stay predictable. Cards translate automatically into more than 25 languages, and a virtual background generator puts your QR code into every video call. HR systems such as Personio, BambooHR, Workday and SAP SuccessFactors keep every card up to date without manual work.
Spreadly is built and hosted in Germany by an ISO 27001 certified company, which keeps GDPR compliance simple for European teams. Developers get a public REST API and an MCP server for Claude and ChatGPT, and event organizers get a free badge generator. Teams can start with a single user and grow at their own pace.
