CamCard vs. FullContact

For people on the road frequently and don't have time to set down at a computer right away this is a good choice, especially on a individual basis. It really isn't ideal if you are trying to capture LARGE amounts of business cards though. If you are in need of something that would allow you to capture more than 5-10 cards at a time, I would look for another product.

This is a quick and easy way to upload information from business cards to your current contact database. It can be used by those who are organizing email marketing campaigns. It is also good for personal use -- since it organizes all available information about any given contact it is a great resource for looking up people before meetings and doing other types of background research

• The image capture is great and it captures the back side which some apps do not allow.
• It allows you to add notes and details and keeps the image of the card so it is easy to connect all the pieces for followup!
• It offers a nice variety of sort options which is really helpful if you remember the company but not the name of the person!
• It exports seamlessly into our CRM.

• Sharing contacts.
• Easy to edit.
• Nice interface.

• Scans are far from reliable.
• It seems to just make some obvious spelling mistakes that the AI should be able to figure out.
• Struggles with complex graphics on business cards.

• Needs to allow for more than 50 business card transcriptions per month
• Sometimes tries to merge contacts that are not the same person
• Does not sync individual account with business account

This is my new favorite app for organizing contacts and segmenting email lists. It is also the only app I have used that will transcribe business cards with 100% accuracy (they use humans to enter info from pictures of cards rather than software, like most other apps). The "merge contact" feature is great and allows you to review the contacts being merged before doing so automatically. It also integrates with Google accounts, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Yahoo. Another great feature is the ability to export data in a file, which you can then upload to your regular CRM software or to Constant Contact. I wish it would allow for more business card uploads per month. Even the paid subscription has a limit of 50 cards per month. I contacted customer support to inquire about increasing this limit and was told that I would need to upgrade to a yearly contract in order to do so. If FullContact continues to be useful, I will likely upgrade. However, given that the business card contacts is one of this software's best features, I was disappointed that this allowance could not be increased. Overall, however, I would highly recommend FullContact

ABBYY business card reader was used one time so I don't have a ton of data. Personally, I felt CamCard was much more user-friendly. I like basic, simple, and easy to use tools. CamCard was it for me!

FullContact has pretty much the best bang for your buck as far as the different features offered. You can do a lot of different things with it and it's all online or in an app on your phones. Easy access to the most accurate information available at your fingertips is pretty awesome

Easily updates contact information

• Due to CamCard's low cost, I have found it to provide a positive ROI for me. Looking at the cost of business card scanners like ScanDisk provides the cost can be $150+.
• CamCard has also allowed me to reduce the time of manually inserting contact information from the contacts that I meet, and since time is money, it has saved my organization labor time.
• Finally, having the ability to use CamCard on my phone, it prevents me from loosing business cards and contact information that I need.

Incentivized

• Positive that the time is not spent updating individual phones.
• Negative in that if someone alters a contact, it will need fixed.
• Positive that users don't waste time calling wrong numbers.
