If you searched for someone else, compare what opens after the tap
The NFC chip is the same in every card. The difference is the hosted profile behind the link — what we ship vs what they ship.
Head-to-head comparisons
Each of these sets our profile against a named competitor's, feature by feature, including the places where theirs is the better buy.
Both cards carry the same NFC chip, so the comparison is entirely about the hosted profile behind the tap: what it can show, what it can collect, and what it costs over three years.
Beeps Card, 1Card, TapMo, budget makers and the free apps in one table — entry price, pricing model, what the profile actually does, and the three-year cost of each.
Five questions that separate NFC card vendors
Every NFC business card on the market uses the same class of chip, and any of them will open a link when tapped. That part is solved, cheap and identical, which means comparing cards on the chip tells you nothing at all. What differs is the page the chip points at, and who is keeping that page online.
The questions below are the ones worth asking any vendor, including us. We have written our own answers into the comparison pages here, but the questions work just as well against someone else's sales page.
What to ask, whoever you buy from
If a vendor cannot answer these plainly, that is itself an answer.
- What happens to my page if I stop paying? A one-time card has bundled hosting into its price or points at something very simple. Either is fine, but you should know which.
- Can I change where the card points after it is printed? If the answer is no, every detail on it is permanent from the day it ships.
- Can the page take an enquiry, a booking or a payment, or does it only display information? This is the largest single difference between products at similar prices.
- Who owns the link if I leave? Ask specifically whether the URL keeps working and whether you can redirect it.
- What does three years cost, not one? A one-time fee and a yearly plan swap places somewhere in year two or three, and the crossover point is the only comparison that matters.
