Which one is for you
Pick OVOU if
- Fits if you want a card and a profile in one yearly price
- Works for client-facing teams of five or more on Salesforce who want locked, matching profiles
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want something free, as there's no free plan and the 30-day trial needs a credit card and a shipping fee
- Not for you if your team runs on HubSpot or Microsoft Dynamics, which are listed as coming, not available
- Tight if your team is under five, since Teams bills five users at least, and each Teams user gets only 1 profile
- Watch out: the site links no phone app, so profiles are managed on the web
- Pricey if you want a different card: custom color is $50 more and stainless steel $100 more
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

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
