Swft Connect Review: Digital Business Cards for $19

What Is Swft Connect?

Paper business cards have been on borrowed time for a while now, and Swft Connect is one of the latest tools trying to replace them entirely. Available as a lifetime deal on AppSumo starting at just $19, Swft Connect gives you a digital business card that lives on your phone — specifically inside your Apple or Google Wallet — so you can share your contact details with a quick QR scan whenever you're networking in person.

The real strength here isn't just having a digital profile link (plenty of tools do that). It's the wallet integration. When you're at a conference or a casual meeting, you pull up your wallet pass, the other person scans the QR code, and contact information gets exchanged instantly. No one has to remember to look you up on LinkedIn later or risk mistyping an email address. It's frictionless in a way that genuinely solves a real-world problem.

Pricing and What You Get at Each Tier

Swft Connect offers two tiers on AppSumo. Tier one starts at $19 and gives you a single-user digital business card with all the core features. Tier two bumps you up to 10 users and adds analytics plus the ability to remove the Swft Connect branding from your profile.

If you're a solo professional, the main reason to consider tier two is the analytics dashboard and white-labeling. For teams — say a sales department or a small agency — tier two is the obvious choice since you'll need multiple user profiles. The branding removal is a nice touch; without it, your profile displays a small "powered by Swft" logo at the bottom, which honestly isn't intrusive but may not look great if you're handing this to enterprise clients.

The Admin Dashboard

The admin dashboard is where you manage everything — users, groups, templates, and global settings. Under the users section, you'll find a directory of everyone in your organization. You can segment people into groups like "Sales" or "Support," which is useful if different teams need different card layouts.

Templates let you create standardized designs for your business cards, though the workflow is a bit unconventional: you can't build a template from scratch on the template screen. Instead, you design a card on one user's profile and then copy it as a template for others. It's not the most intuitive approach, but it works.

The settings area is worth visiting right away. This is where you toggle off the Swft Connect branding (if you're on tier two), set up global brand colors, enable the digital wallet pass feature, and grab your invite link for onboarding employees. You can also connect a custom domain so your shared links use your own branding instead of the default swft.id URL — though honestly, the default URL is clean enough that most people won't mind it.

Setting Up Your Profile

Creating your first profile is quick, especially if you have a LinkedIn account. Swft Connect can scrape your LinkedIn profile to pull in your photo, job title, email, and headline automatically. It's not perfect — in testing, it initially grabbed only the first three letters of a last name — but the scraping has improved over time and saves you from manual data entry.

If you don't want to connect LinkedIn, you can set everything up manually. Either way, you'll end up with a profile card showing your photo, name, title, and whatever contact details you choose to include. From there, it's all about adding sections to flesh out your card.

One entertaining discovery during testing: if you delete your only user account, you'll lock yourself out entirely. The support team responded immediately via chat and got things sorted, which is reassuring, but maybe don't nuke your last user profile just to see what happens.

Adding Links and Social Profiles

The links section works like a more purposeful version of Linktree. You can create grouped sections of website links — for example, a "Websites" section with your agency site and your blog — and each link gets its own label and URL. These display prominently on your profile card, giving visitors easy access to your web properties.

Social media integration lets you add profiles for YouTube, Facebook, X (Twitter), and other platforms. These show up as recognizable icons on your card. One minor gripe: LinkedIn and WhatsApp live in a separate section from your other social profiles, which feels like an odd organizational choice. Ideally, all social links would be consolidated in one place. The workaround is simple enough — just turn off LinkedIn in the main section and add it manually alongside your other social links.

Video, Calendar, and Rich Content Embeds

Beyond basic links, Swft Connect lets you embed richer content directly into your profile. You can add a YouTube or Vimeo video that plays inline — useful if you have a company intro video or a product demo you want prospects to see immediately after scanning your card.

The calendar embed is arguably even more practical. If you use Calendly, TidyCal, or any other booking tool, you can paste in your scheduling link and visitors can book a meeting right from your digital business card. For consultants, freelancers, or anyone in a client-facing role, this turns a simple contact exchange into a potential booking opportunity.

There's also a gallery section for showcasing photos or portfolio work, a text section for adding a bio, and a "Meet the Team" section that links to other profiles in your organization. Swft Connect has flagged file attachments and HTML embeds as upcoming features, which could open up even more creative uses down the road.

Customizing the Look and Feel

Appearance options give you control over how your card presents itself. You can toggle dark mode on by default, change the background color, upload a cover photo, and add your company logo. The cover photo sits behind your profile section while the logo appears at the top of the card — both add a level of professionalism that the bare default template doesn't quite achieve.

On desktop, the profile renders with a static sidebar on the left showing your photo and headline, while the right side scrolls through your content sections. On mobile, everything stacks into a single column, which is the more natural layout for a business card experience. Most people will encounter your card on their phone after scanning a QR code, so the mobile layout is really the one that matters most — and it looks clean.

Sharing and Exchanging Contact Info

The contact exchange is where Swft Connect earns its keep. There's a "Share Contact Info" button on your profile that, when tapped, prompts the other person to enter their name, email, and optionally their phone number and company. You can customize which fields are required and which are optional in the admin settings.

This makes the exchange bidirectional — you're not just handing someone your details, you're also capturing theirs. It's a subtle but important distinction that turns a business card into a lightweight lead capture tool. After someone fills out the form, they automatically receive your VCF contact file, so they get your info without needing to click anything extra.

There's also an option to auto-open the contact form whenever someone lands on your profile page, which is aggressive but could work well at events where you want to maximize lead capture. For a less pushy approach, visitors can also just download your VCF file directly with a single click.

Analytics and Marketing Integrations

On tier two, you get access to a built-in analytics dashboard that tracks profile views, connections made, and contact card downloads over time. It's nothing fancy — a simple chart and some counters — but it gives you a sense of how actively your card is being used.

For more serious tracking, Swft Connect supports pixel integrations with Meta (Facebook), Google Analytics, and LinkedIn Insights. You just paste in your tracking ID and your digital business card starts feeding data into your existing marketing stack. This is a smart feature for teams that want to measure the ROI of in-person networking efforts and tie card scans back to broader marketing campaigns.

Final Verdict: 7.4 out of 10

Swft Connect is a well-executed digital business card platform that does exactly what it promises. The interface is intuitive — you always know what to do next — and both creating profiles and exchanging contact information feels fast and frictionless. If you need to build out cards for an entire team, the process scales quickly without becoming tedious.

The Apple and Google Wallet integration is the standout feature and the primary reason to choose Swft Connect over a generic link-in-bio tool. Having your business card one swipe away in your wallet, ready to display a QR code at a moment's notice, is genuinely useful for anyone who networks regularly.

At $19 for a single user or around $99-$199 for a 10-user team as a one-time cost, the value proposition is solid. It's not going to replace your CRM or your email marketing platform, but for the specific job of modernizing how you exchange contact information, Swft Connect handles it well. A 7.4 out of 10 — a capable, focused tool that does its job without unnecessary complexity.
