Abutic vs HiHello
HiHello is a digital business card app. It doesn’t sell physical cards: you write your HiHello card to an NFC tag you buy elsewhere. Abutic makes both the engraved metal card and the profile it opens.
The short answer
HiHello doesn’t sell NFC cards, so tapping to share means buying a tag somewhere else. Abutic engraves your design on a metal NFC card for $29.99, with a free profile and no subscription required.
