Reko vs Digital Business Card (Cyprus)
Digital Business Card, based in Limassol, is Cyprus's own entry in this category, and it charges from day one. Reko, also built in Cyprus, gives you a full free tier before you ever reach for a card.
| Reko Free | Reko Pro (€3/mo) | Digital Business Card Individual ($6.99/mo annual) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free tier | Yes: real, unlimited rolodex, 5 templates | N/A | None: paid from the first card |
| Templates | 5 | 25 total | 27+ |
| Cards per user | 1 | 1 | Unlimited |
| Apple Wallet + widget | No: pass-styled QR image + DIY NFC instead | Same | Yes |
| Analytics | No | Views, taps, shares, referrals | “Global analytics” |
| Card scanner | Your own paper card, at creation: free, on-device | Same | AI-powered networking scanner |
| Branding removed | On Pro | Included | Included at every paid tier |
| Monthly price | €0 | €3/mo (~$3.20–3.50) | $6.99/mo, roughly 2–2.5x Reko's price |
Where Digital Business Card (Cyprus) wins
- · Unlimited cards per user. Reko is deliberately one card per user for now
- · A native Apple Wallet pass and home-screen widget integration
- · A more capable AI-powered contact scanner. Reko's on-device OCR deliberately only reads your *own* physical card into the creation wizard, not other people's
- · Slightly larger template catalog (27+ vs Reko's 25)
Where Reko wins
- · A genuine free tier: Digital Business Card has none. Every plan requires payment from day one; Reko's free tier is a complete product (rolodex, QR share, .vcf save, 5 templates) with no time limit
- · Roughly 2–2.5x cheaper once you do want the paid tier (€3/mo vs $6.99/mo)
- · Both companies are Cyprus-built, but only one lets you actually try it before paying anything, which matters for word-of-mouth in a small market where people recommend what they've already used for free

Reko: €3/month (~$3.20–3.50) vs Digital Business Card's $6.99/month for the equivalent individual tier.
Try before you pay: Reko's free tier is a complete card, not a trial.
