Remember vs NameGood 2026 — Which Card App Korean Pros Actually Need
Remember is Korea's #1 card app. 4M users, massive ad revenue. But is it really optimal for every professional?
1. Ads — The True Cost of the Free Tier
Remember's free tier shows fullscreen ads every time you flip through cards. Look at 10 cards a day, see 10 ads. NameGood has no ads. Credits-based pricing means there's no reason to monetize via ads.
2. Depth of AI Analysis
Remember shows you what's on the card: company, title, department. NameGood analyzes the person's industry context: "This contact is in the top 5% of Korean PB; recently handling family-succession tax cases. In your next meeting, mentioning the trust-law reform would land well." That's intelligence.
3. Industry Overlays
For a real estate broker, what Remember shows:
Kim Cheolsu / ABC Realty / CEO / Gangnam, Seoul
What NameGood shows:
Kim Cheolsu / ABC Realty / CEO — Specialist in Gangnam redevelopment, closed 3 unit deals recently. This person prefers school-district consultations to listing pitches (per past conversation analysis).
4. Pricing
| Remember Free | Remember Paid | NameGood | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly | ₩0 (ads) | ₩9,900 | ₩0 |
| When used | Ads | Unlimited | Credits from ₩4,900 |
| Ads | Yes | No | No |
| AI analysis | ✗ | Basic | Deep |
5. Who Should Use Which
- General office worker / occasional cards: Remember Free is fine
- Sales / specialist: NameGood (no ads + deep AI)
- Headhunter / HR: NameGood (candidate pool + ZDR)
- High-volume cards: Either works; NameGood is more cost-efficient
6. Bottom Line
Remember is "the Korean office worker's default". Can't deny it. NameGood is the weapon for people whose revenue depends on relationships.
