Dot vs V1CE (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Dot if

• Fits if you want an NFC card or sticker for $30 once and no subscription
• Works for people who'd rather share contacts without either side installing an app

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a phone app, as Dot runs only in the browser
• Pricey if you want the card scanner, contact export or your own logo, which need Profile+ at $12 a month yearly or $15 monthly
• Not for you if you need CRM sync at a listed price: Salesforce, HubSpot and Zapier are on dot.Teams Growth, which is quoted
• Tight if you're staying free, since insights only go back 7 days and dot. branding stays on your profile

Pick V1CE if

• Fits if you'd rather pay once for a card than every month
• Works for consultants who take bookings or sell services from their card page

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a phone app, as V1CE's site links none and cards are run from a web app
• Pricey if you want the AI assistants, Scout and Co-Work, which need Client Capture OS at $64.98 a month
• Watch out: the free plan takes 5% of what you sell, and allows one page, one booking link, 10 agreements and 3 AI runs a month
• Watch out: cards cost $82 to $151 each, and the 30-day money-back promise on a card is a refund, not a trial
• Not for you if you scan paper cards or event badges, as the listing shows no scanner

Dot

• Dot has no mobile app; everything runs in the phone's browser and on the web.
• The AI card scanner, contact export, your logo and removing dot. branding need Profile+, at $12 a month yearly or $15 monthly.
• Salesforce, HubSpot and Zapier sync are on dot.Teams Growth, which is quoted; Essential lists no CRM integration.
• The free profile shows only the last 7 days of insights.

V1CE

• Cards cost $82 to $151 each up front; the AI assistants need Client Capture OS at $64.98 a month.
• The free plan takes a 5% fee on services sold through your page and allows one live page, one booking link and 3 AI runs a month.
• V1CE's site links no iOS or Android app: cards are managed in a web app and shared from Apple or Google Wallet.
• Cards come with a 30-day money-back promise (you keep the card), and Client Capture OS can be refunded in full within 30 days.
