BeamHello: the flat-priced, white-label Popl alternative

• Flat per-org pricing: Team is 24 dollars a month for up to 10 cards.
• Popl bills per seat; ten seats runs roughly 40 to 70 dollars a month.
• White-label: paid orgs show their own logo, never BeamHello.
• Recipients save the contact with no signup prompt, ever.
• Apple Wallet and Google Wallet passes ship on every card.
• HubSpot contact sync is included from Team, at 24 dollars flat.
• Sub-orgs let one account hold many branded child orgs.

Where Popl and BeamHello differ

Popl is a lead-capture platform built around a per-seat funnel: each person on the team is a paid seat, and the recipient experience is oriented toward capturing the lead. BeamHello is a white-label digital business card platform with flat per-org pricing. Same core idea — tap or scan, save a contact — but four differences are structural, not cosmetic. A competitor can change a screenshot; a competitor cannot quietly change how they bill or whose brand shows on the card.

The four structural differences

1. White-label — your logo, not theirs

On a paid BeamHello org, the card lives at a branded URL (beamhello.com/{org}/{card}) and the Wallet pass carries your organization's logo. Add to Wallet from any card, on Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, and the recipient sees your brand on the pass — not ours. Popl presents cards under its own product identity. If you are handing a card to a client and want the whole interaction to read as your company, white-label is the line that decides it.

2. Flat per-org pricing, not per seat

BeamHello Team is one org with up to 10 cards for 24 dollars a month, flat. Adding cards inside that limit does not change the price. Popl charges per seat, so a ten-person team typically lands in the 40-to-70-dollar range each month, and every new hire adds to the bill. If your headcount moves, per-seat pricing tracks it upward; flat per-org pricing does not.

3. Sub-orgs for multi-brand structures

BeamHello supports sub-orgs — child organizations nested under a parent account, each with its own branding. A franchise, an agency with named client brands, or a company with distinct divisions can keep each unit's cards under its own identity while managing them from one place. Popl's per-seat model does not map cleanly to that kind of multi-brand structure.

4. HubSpot sync included at 24 dollars

Beam-yours-back contacts upsert into HubSpot as Contacts starting on the Team plan — the same 24-dollar tier. Agency adds a timeline event on the synced contact. On Popl, CRM integration typically sits behind higher business tiers. If HubSpot is where your pipeline lives, getting sync at the entry price changes the math.

The recipient experience: no nag

When someone opens a BeamHello card, they save your contact and move on. There is no signup prompt — ever. The exchange is optional and owner-pull-only: beam-yours-back (Team and up) lets the card owner pull the recipient's details back, and it never blocks or nags the person on the other end. Popl's model is built around lead capture at that moment. If you would rather the recipient's first impression be your card, not a prompt, the anti-nag default matters.

What both do

BeamHello writes to any blank NFC tag, generates a vCard download and QR, and includes a Contact QR that saves the contact without even opening the page. Every card can produce an email signature. Cards are noindex by default for privacy, with a per-card opt-in so an individual — a realtor, say — can make her own card indexable. Custom domains, subdomains, and white-label support email are available on Agency and up.

Who should look at BeamHello instead of Popl

• Teams of up to 10 who don't want per-seat billing to grow with headcount.
• Anyone who needs the card and Wallet pass to carry their own brand.
• Multi-brand operators — franchises, agencies — who need sub-orgs.
• HubSpot users who want CRM sync without jumping to a business tier.

FAQ

Is BeamHello a drop-in Popl alternative?

For the core job — tap or scan, save a contact, exchange details — yes. It writes to blank NFC tags, ships Apple and Google Wallet passes, and produces vCard, QR, and email signatures. The differences are the billing model, white-label branding, sub-orgs, and included HubSpot sync.

How does pricing compare to Popl?

BeamHello Team is 24 dollars a month flat for one org with up to 10 cards. Popl bills per seat, so a comparable ten-person setup is generally 40 to 70 dollars a month and rises as you add people. BeamHello's per-org price does not.

Will the card show BeamHello's branding?

On a paid or branded org, no. The branded URL and the Wallet pass show your organization's logo, not BeamHello's. That is the white-label wedge.

Does the recipient have to sign up to save my contact?

No. There is no signup prompt, ever. They save your contact and go. Beam-yours-back is optional and owner-pull-only, and it never blocks or nags the recipient.

Do I get HubSpot sync on the cheapest paid plan?

Yes. Beam-yours-back contacts upsert into HubSpot as Contacts starting on Team, at 24 dollars a month. Agency adds a timeline event on the contact.

Can one account manage multiple brands?

Yes, through sub-orgs — child organizations under a parent account, each with its own branding, managed from one place.
