Wave Connect review
A contact tool for digital cards, lead capture, reminders, and CRM sync.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Wave Connect combines digital business cards, contact management, and event lead capture for individuals, teams, and enterprises. Users can share profiles through QR codes, NFC, links, email, SMS, and Google or Apple Wallet, while recipients can view cards in a browser without an app. Contact capture covers CSV, Excel, paper business cards, event badges, and QR codes. Notes, tags, reminders, analytics, and CRM synchronization extend the product beyond simple profile sharing.
The plan structure makes the product accessible to individuals and expandable for organizations. Free includes a digital business card, unlimited sharing and contacts, wallet support, a lead capture form, and advanced analytics. Pro costs $7 per month when billed annually and adds branded QR codes and profiles, custom colors, fonts and layouts, CRM sync, branded email signatures, and removal of Wave branding. Teams costs $5 per user per month when billed annually and adds an admin platform, bulk profile editing, team templates, user-content controls, a shared lead dashboard, and automatic event-lead tagging. Enterprise adds event lead capture, volume pricing, single sign-on, SCIM provisioning, assisted onboarding, and dedicated priority support. A 14-day free trial is also available.
Wave Connect fits teams that want a digital card system tied to follow-up workflows and contact databases. Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, and Microsoft Outlook integrations support common CRM and productivity setups, while mobile apps are available for iOS and Android alongside the web app. Automated email follow-ups and SMS reminders, plus analytics and lead dashboards, give the platform a broader contact-management role. It is less suitable for organizations seeking a contact manager that is not centered on digital identity and card sharing, or for buyers who want a simple fixed Enterprise price. Teams needing branding and CRM synchronization should consider Pro; organizations managing multiple profiles and shared leads should consider Teams.
