Stainless steel and titanium NFC cards. The weight and finish say everything before you speak. Popl's cards are plastic — functional, but not premium.
Popl's cards are well-made for what they are, but they're plastic. For professionals in finance, law, luxury, or consulting, the material matters.
NAJEM gives you a full digital portfolio website at najem.ch/en/yourname — not just a page with your phone number. Your bio, your work, your links, all in one place.
Popl has repositioned itself as a lead capture tool. It's optimised for teams doing high-volume event networking. Not for individual professionals who want a lasting impression.
Built in Switzerland. GDPR and Swiss nLPD compliant. Your data and your contacts' data are handled to Swiss standards.
Popl is headquartered in the US. For Swiss professionals in regulated industries (finance, health, law), data residency and compliance are not incidental concerns.
Live portfolio. No credit card. Optional NFC metallic card for CHF 49.99.
Bespoke portfolio + premium metallic card + Constellation membership. No monthly subscription.
Basic contact sharing with restrictions.
Full analytics and CRM integrations. NFC cards sold separately. Monthly cost accumulates.
Popl is a popular digital business card — but it's plastic, US-focused, and built for social sharing rather than professional identity. If you want a premium NFC card that reflects the quality of your work, NAJEM is the Swiss alternative built for professionals.
