For sharing a number, 1Card and TapMo win on price, by a wide margin. The gap is what the yearly plan buys: a UPI button, booking and a priced list of services. One advance taken through the button can cover a year or more of the plan. If you never take a payment or a booking, buy the cheaper card.

1Card, TapMo and Beeps Card questions
Which is cheaper, 1Card or TapMo?
Their entry prices are almost the same. 1Card sells an NFC Classic from ₹500. TapMo sells NFC cards from ₹499, but those are themed for LinkedIn or Instagram, and its general budget PVC is ₹999. For metal, 1Card VIP starts at ₹1,900 and TapMo's black metal at ₹1,999.
Do 1Card or TapMo charge a yearly fee?
Neither says so. 1Card describes an editable profile with no subscription and no expiry, and TapMo says "No App. No Subscription. Lifetime Access." Beeps Card is different: the profile is a yearly plan, which is what pays for UPI, booking and the other selling tools.
Which delivers faster?
Their own pages differ by product. 1Card's price guide gives 7 to 10 business days after design approval. One TapMo product page gives 4 to 5 business days in all, with next-day delivery listed for Delhi NCR. Ask before you order, because the time depends on the card and the design.
Which one should I pick if I only want to share my number?
Either. Both are cheaper than a Beeps card and neither has a yearly fee, so for pure contact sharing they are the better arrangement. Pick 1Card for the range of metal finishes, or TapMo if you want wood, a free design preview or delivery outside India.
Where does Beeps Card fit?
When the card has to do more than share a number. Beeps Card costs more up front, ₹1,699 for the card plus a yearly plan, and in return the profile takes a UPI payment, books an appointment and lists your services with prices. Neither 1Card nor TapMo lists those on the pages read on 30 September 2026. Beeps Card has all three.
Can I use a 1Card or TapMo card with a Beeps profile?
Often yes. If the tag is writable, a free NFC app can write your Beeps profile link onto it. Some sellers lock their tags, so try writing your link to yours with the free app before you rely on it.
