oneVcard vs. Blinq
oneVcard 91 /100 
Blinq 76 /100 oneVcard and Blinq both rank among the leading platforms for digital business cards, yet they target very different buyers. Blinq is an Australian provider founded in Melbourne in 2017, with over 2.5 million users, wide Fortune 500 adoption and exceptionally strong user ratings (G2 4.8 from more than 8,800 reviews, Capterra 4.9). The product is mature, easy to use and comes with a complete enterprise set: enforced SSO (SAML, Okta, Azure AD), SCIM provisioning, more than 20 CRM integrations, analytics, lead capture, NFC cards as well as Apple and Google Wallet.
oneVcard is the German challenger from oneVcard GmbH and plays to its strength exactly where Blinq is structurally vulnerable: in GDPR compliance and operation within Germany. oneVcard hosts and develops exclusively in Germany, hosts in an ISO 27001 certified data center in Nürnberg, provides a data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR on request, has an external data protection officer (Prof. Dr. Eberhard Schott) and has penetration tests carried out regularly. On the enterprise side, oneVcard offers SAML 2.0, Microsoft Entra ID and Google Workspace, automatic user provisioning, more than 20 integrations (including SAP, Personio, BambooHR, Salesforce, HubSpot) as well as a dedicated email signature management with a certified Outlook add-in. In our overall rating, oneVcard leads with 91 out of 100 points ahead of Blinq with 76.

Verdict
For German and EU companies we recommend oneVcard, especially when data protection, legal certainty and Microsoft integration are priorities. The decisive difference lies in data residency: Blinq hosts on the Google Cloud Platform, and according to its privacy policy personal data may be processed in the USA, among other locations; transfers outside the EEA are safeguarded through Standard Contractual Clauses, and the controller is based in Australia.
A data processing agreement is not publicly available from Blinq (Trust Center documents only on request), the ISO 27001 certification lies with the cloud provider Google, not with Blinq itself, and German-language support is not documented. oneVcard, by contrast and develops exclusively in Germany, hosts in an ISO 27001 data center in Nürnberg with no transfer to third countries, provides a data processing agreement, an external data protection officer and German-language support; this is why oneVcard leads both the overall rating (91 to 76) and the pure GDPR category (94/100). In the functional IT rollout both are on an equal footing: both offer SSO and automatic provisioning, and oneVcard additionally adds a standalone email signature management that Blinq does not cover in this depth.
In fairness, though, it should be noted where Blinq has genuine advantages: in independent user ratings Blinq is clearly ahead with G2 4.8 (over 8,800 reviews) and Capterra 4.9, the product is very broadly proven internationally and a mature choice for globally distributed teams. Anyone working primarily outside the EU, or weighting maximum market reach and review density more heavily than German data residency, can do well with Blinq.
For the German B2B mid-market and all GDPR-sensitive organizations, however, oneVcard is the more suitable platform.
Comparison FAQ
Where is my data hosted, with oneVcard or with Blinq?
This is the most important difference. oneVcard hosts and develops exclusively in Germany and hosts in an ISO 27001 certified data center in Nürnberg for this purpose, with no transfer to third countries. Blinq hosts on the Google Cloud Platform; according to its privacy policy, personal data may be processed in, among other locations, the USA, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Belgium and Finland, with transfers outside the EEA safeguarded through Standard Contractual Clauses.
The controller is based in Australia. For GDPR-sensitive German companies, oneVcard's purely German data storage is therefore a clear advantage.
Are both providers GDPR-compliant and is there a data processing agreement?
Blinq states GDPR compliance and is SOC 2 Type II certified (via Vanta, with an annual third-party audit). A data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR is, however, not publicly available from Blinq; the documents in the Trust Center can only be viewed on request, and the ISO 27001 certification lies with the cloud provider Google, not with Blinq itself. oneVcard provides a data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR on request, holds its own ISO 27001 certification, an external data protection officer (Prof. Dr. Eberhard Schott), daily backups, 2FA and regular penetration tests.
In the pure GDPR category, oneVcard leads with 94 out of 100 points.
Which provider is better suited for a company-wide IT rollout with SSO?
Both are strongly positioned here. Blinq offers enforced SSO (SAML, Okta, Azure AD) and SCIM provisioning via Okta and Entra for automated onboarding and offboarding. oneVcard likewise offers SAML 2.0 as well as Microsoft Entra ID/Azure AD and Google Workspace with automatic user provisioning.
The difference lies in the details: oneVcard additionally supports a dedicated email signature management with a certified Outlook add-in, which Blinq does not cover in this depth. Both come with more than 20 integrations and a REST API.
Does Blinq also have advantages over oneVcard?
Yes. Blinq scores above all in independent user ratings: G2 4.8 from more than 8,800 reviews, Capterra 4.9 and Trustpilot around 4.7 are among the best in the industry. With over 2.5 million users and wide Fortune 500 adoption, the product is very mature and easy to use internationally.
For globally distributed teams that weight maximum market reach and review density more heavily than German data residency, Blinq is a solid choice. For the German B2B market and GDPR-sensitive organizations, however, oneVcard's purely German data storage, its data processing agreement and its German-language support are the deciding factors.
