Wantedly People review
A free card scanner for individuals who want batch capture and searchable contacts.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Wantedly People is a business-card scanning and contact-management app for individuals. Its iOS and Android apps can capture up to 10 cards at once, recognize their information, and add it to saved contacts. Users can search connections by name, company, department, or title, while a web version provides access to saved card data through a PC browser. The combination suits solo users and small teams that want a lightweight way to turn a stack of cards into searchable contacts, rather than a scanner centered on CRM syncing.
The free plan includes business-card scanning and contact management. People Premium adds CSV downloads of contact information and hides ads shown after card scanning. That makes the free tier useful for capturing and looking up connections, while Premium is the relevant choice for people who need portable contact records or want to remove those ads. The product also supports importing data from other services, but its listed integration is Wantedly Visit, which can sync profile information. People scanning mainly to feed an existing CRM should weigh that narrower integration fit before choosing it.
Beyond capture and search, Wantedly People surfaces related company information and news, and shows updates to connections’ profiles. These features give saved contacts some context, while the core workflow remains focused on organizing business-card connections. Capture happens through the mobile camera, so people who need a web-based scanning workflow may prefer another tool. For individuals who routinely collect several cards together and are comfortable managing contacts in Wantedly People, the free plan covers the central job; those who need CSV export should consider Premium, and CRM-first buyers should look elsewhere.
