Things to check before you choose

Is there an app in the App Store or Google Play? Connections has no App Store or Play Store listing yet because its native apps have not shipped ^[4], so check each option's store listing if a phone app matters. Does a visitor need Google Wallet? The Apple Wallet pass is live and the Google Wallet pass is still waiting on Google's review ^[4], so check the current status before promising it. Do contacts need to land in HubSpot or Salesforce with no manual step? Ask whether the tool syncs them directly, since exporting contacts to a CSV file is a different job ^[4]. How many cards does one price cover? The Connections free plan includes one card and paid plans allow more ^[4]. What happens when you pass a limit? Connections Free costs $0 and going over a limit stops the feature rather than billing you ^[4]. Where are the plan prices? Beacons lists its monthly plans ^[2], and each other option's current pricing page is the place to check the numbers.
