Popl pioneered the digital business card. CigyID rebuilt it for India — with native UPI payments, emergency info, an encrypted document wallet, and a genuinely free plan. Same tap. Half the price. More features.
Why switch
Accept payments directly on your profile. Popl doesn't support UPI.
Allergies, blood group and emergency contacts on every tag — life-saving.
Carry IDs, brochures and certificates — encrypted end-to-end in your browser.
A real free plan — no credits, no per-scan fees, no surprise paywalls.
Pay in rupees, talk to a local team, ship from India — no FX, no customs.
Pet tags, kids' bags, luggage and senior citizen SOS — all native.
