More useful every day
Keep tasks, budgets, notes and other personal records in your signed-in workspace.
Your business in the catalog. The catalog in your business.
Publish your business card, then place a poster or QR stand at your venue, or show DiBu Mall or iPod Mall on a compatible screen. Visitors discover other businesses, scan a catalog to their phone and keep it for later. Invite other venues to display the same catalogs, giving participating businesses more opportunities to be seen.
No paid plan and no additional network participation fee are required. You supply your display setup. Participation is voluntary; exposure and customer results are not guaranteed.
The final column offers questions to ask other digital card services. It does not rank named competitors or claim that they lack a feature. Availability and limits below describe DiBuCard’s implemented options; device permissions, administrator activation and plan eligibility still apply.
On a small screen, swipe each table sideways to see all columns.
