FAQ
Is Lynko cheaper than Blinq?+
For most UK professionals, yes. Lynko is £12.99 one-off for the card and £3.99/month after a 1-month free trial. Blinq has a free profile but its Pro plan is roughly $7.99/month and the physical NFC card is sold separately.
Can I keep my Lynko card if I cancel?+
Yes. The card is yours forever. If you cancel the subscription, the card still works as a basic digital profile — you just lose Pro features like analytics, custom themes and booking modules.
Does Blinq ship NFC cards to the UK?+
Yes, Blinq ships NFC cards internationally, but they are priced and shipped in USD from outside the UK. Lynko is a UK-based company, so you pay in GBP with no currency surprises.
Can I import my Blinq contacts into Lynko?+
You can export leads from Blinq as a CSV and we'll help you import them into your Lynko leads inbox. Email support and we'll handle the migration for you.
Which is better for teams?+
Both support teams. Lynko focuses on solo professionals and small teams with a simpler price (£3.99/month/seat). Blinq has a more developed enterprise tier if you need 50+ seats with SSO and HRIS sync today.
Does Lynko work without an app?+
Yes. Tap or scan the QR — the profile opens in the browser, no install required. Same on iOS and Android.
