Best for paying once for an NFC card with no monthly fee
V1CE sells NFC cards from $82 once, and the software behind them, with contact exchange, a contact list, CRM sync and booking links, has no monthly fee. There's no phone app, the free plan takes 5% of anything you sell through your page, and the AI assistants cost $64.98 a month.
Who V1CE is for
- 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
Who V1CE is not for
- 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
Why V1CE gets a 2.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- BValue for moneyThe Original card is $82 once with the software free for life, under two years of this category's middle subscription ($5 a month). The Bamboo is $114 and The Metal $151, and the AI plan, Client Capture OS, is $64.98 a month.
- BFree plan and trialThe software is free for life with no card needed: one page, two-way contact exchange, uncapped contacts, CRM sync and one booking link. The caps are 3 AI runs and 10 signed agreements a month, plus a 5% fee on sales.
- CFeaturesNFC cards, two-way contact exchange, a contact list with notes and tags, CRM sync, booking, selling and signed agreements on your page, and a team dashboard. The listing shows no scanner for paper cards or badges, and the AI needs the $64.98 plan.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. Cards are run from a web app, your page has bookings, services, downloads and agreements to set up, and V1CE designs each card before it ships.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, with Apple and Google Wallet passes, Salesforce or HubSpot sync, and notes in Zoom, Meet and Teams on the paid plan. The site links no iPhone or Android app, and there's no desktop app.

Keep V1CE, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of V1CE you could make: digital business card and email signature. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It costs $82, paid once.
What you could make
- Digital business card and email signature: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Booking pages that read and write other people's calendars and send the emails.
- It plugs into other products, Salesforce, HubSpot and Apple Wallet among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. V1CE’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
