ScanBizCards (free lite version, $1 premium version, and enterprise version) is a business card scanning app from CircleBack that offers unlimited scanning in its free app (but limited contact list syncs), as well as some other features such as manual card transcriptions and calendar integrations. If you’re just looking to quickly add people to your Contacts list, SamCard’s camera is the snappiest (even without batch mode or automatic snapping). SamCard isn’t the most robust business card reader, but its simplicity is appealing. One plus: It checks for repetition of contact names in your contacts list. The app is also perhaps a little too simple-it doesn’t offer a batch mode, nor does it allow you to quickly manage multiple contacts at once (you’re at the mercy of Apple’s contact management system). However, because SamCard doesn’t offer a cloud-based database, you won’t be able to sync your contacts across platforms (unless you sync your iPhone contacts across platforms). The camera does not offer a batch mode or automatic picture-taking, but it does work very quickly. The app also offers relatively good OCR technology that can recognize a business card’s orientation, though it did have some trouble with non-traditional layouts. Instead, SamCard saves all of your scanned cards directly to your iPhone’s local Contacts list, and that’s it. Unlike the other apps in this round-up, SamCard doesn’t bother with a cloud-syncing database-you don’t have to create an account, nor do you need to worry about which contacts list(s) to save your data to. The app comes in two versions: SamCard Lite, which allows you to save up to three new cards to your Contacts list each week, and the premium version, which allows you to save unlimited cards to your Contacts list. SamCard (free lite version and $4 premium version) is a simple, straightforward business card reader that scans cards and saves them to your iPhone’s local Contacts list. WorldCard Mobile is perfect for international businesspeople who like to keep their Gmail contacts up-to-date, but for everyone else it’s slower and pricier than the competition. At $7, the premium version of this app (and, realistically, the only usable version) is more expensive than the other apps we tested.
These might seem like insignificant features, but they make a big difference when you have hundreds of business cards to digitize. Unfortunately, WorldCard Mobile does not have a batch mode for snapping pictures of multiple cards at once, nor does the camera automatically take a photo when a card is properly positioned. It can also save contacts directly to your local Contacts list and sync with Gmail/Google contacts-a handy feature for Gmail users. Like CamCard and FoxCard, WorldCard Mobile has its own cloud-based database that can sync across multiple platforms. The app comes in two versions: A free version that allows you to save one contact per week, and a premium version that allows you to save unlimited contacts. WorldCard Mobile (free lite version and $7 premium version) is aptly-named-this business card scanner recognizes the most languages (21) of any of the apps we tested, including simplified and traditional Chinese, Czech, Slovak, and Arabic, though you will need to manually select the language of each card before you scan it.

The app does let you share your card digitally with users via QR code or through its Card Radar, a feature that alerts you to nearby CamCard users. CamCard also lets you upload your own card and add augmented reality features, such as a headshot or a video introduction, which other CamCard users will be able to see, should they ever scan your card. The app features a cloud-based database that can be synced across devices, and you can also upload all contact information into your local Contacts list. Overall, CamCard is a solid app with minor, understandable flaws. On the downside,this app has trouble recognizing all-black cards and extremely glossy cards for these cards you will need to manually snap a photo and there’s no guarantee the OCR will read them correctly. The app has a robust web interface, where you can manage contacts (categorize or delete them, or merge duplicate cards) efficiently. It can automatically translate phone numbers with extensions into a phone-readable format (with commas), and it can decipher social media handles. This app is fairly accurate at translating card data to contact information, and it can read multiple layouts (though it frequently mixes up company, department, and job title).
It also offers a batch mode, where you can take successive snaps of multiple cards. CamCard is one of the fastest apps we tried-it snaps card photos automatically and flattens the photo into a readable image.
