Which one is for you

Pick Tapt if

  • Fits if you're one to four people and want to pay once with no yearly fee
  • Works for shops and receptions that want a tap stand on the counter

Look elsewhere if

  • Skip it if you want to try before you pay, as there's no free plan or trial and the way in is buying a product
  • Watch out: five or more cards adds a yearly platform fee of $69, or $139 from 10 users, on top of the cards
  • Not for you if you need a price for event lead capture, as the pages read don't give one or say which plans include it
  • Watch out: teams of 25 or more, and orders of 25+ cards, are priced by quote

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.
  • The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
