Three ways a card gets paid for, and how each one adds up
Total = card price × people + yearly profile fee × people × years. A card with hosting built in costs only the card; a card with a few years included costs only the card until those years run out; a yearly plan adds its fee every year. The presets use Indian sellers' own published prices, checked 10 November 2026.
You pay for the card and nothing after, so the total is the number of cards times the price. The years make no difference.
Also just the card price - until the included years run out. If you set more years than the seller includes, the calculator tells you that what comes next is not published.
The card price plus the fee for every year. On Beeps Card, Basic is one profile per account, so a team pays per person. Pro holds up to five profiles on one account for one yearly price: ₹299, ₹399, ₹499, ₹599, ₹699 for one to five people. Enterprise covers 20, 40, 50 profiles for ₹5,000, ₹7,000, ₹10,000 a year.
Cards are optional on Beeps Card - the profile works from a link or a QR code. Set the card price to 0 to see the profile-only cost.
What a Beeps Card costs over one, three and five years
The ₹1,699 card is paid once per person; the plan is paid every year. For one person on Basic, the first year is ₹1,898 and each year after is ₹199. A team of 5 shares one Pro account. These are the same figures as the Beeps presets above, taken from our pricing page.
| Plan and team | 1 year | 3 years | 5 years |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic, 1 person | 1 year₹1,898 | 3 years₹2,296 | 5 years₹2,694 |
| Pro, 1 person | 1 year₹1,998 | 3 years₹2,596 | 5 years₹3,194 |
| Pro, 5 people on one account | 1 year₹9,194 | 3 years₹10,592 | 5 years₹11,990 |
| Enterprise, 20 people | 1 year₹38,980 | 3 years₹48,980 | 5 years₹58,980 |
Every total includes one card per person. See every plan on the Beeps Card pricing page, and read who pays for hosting on a "no subscription" card before you compare on price alone.

From the estimate to the card
The calculator tells you what a card costs. This is what the yearly plan behind a Beeps card pays for, so you can weigh the number against what it does.
- A total for the years and people you entered
- Each seller's published card price and fee
- Delivery, taxes and design fees left out
- Nothing about what the profile does after the tap
- The same ₹1,699 card and ₹299 yearly plan as the Beeps preset
- Up to 5 profiles on one Pro account, from ₹299 to ₹699 a year
- UPI payments, a Google review button and analytics on the profile
- Booking, an enquiry form and one-tap save to contacts
- Change your details any time; the card never needs reprinting
₹1,998
The card once, plus your first year of Pro. Then ₹299 a year.

How is the total worked out?
Card price times the number of people, plus the yearly profile fee times the number of years. For a seller that builds hosting into the card price, the total is just the cards. For Beeps Pro, up to five people share one account priced as a whole; for Enterprise, the price covers 20, 40 or 50 profiles.
Is a one-time NFC card cheaper than one with a yearly plan?
Over enough years, usually yes - that is what the calculator shows. The fair question is what the yearly fee pays for: hosting the profile and the tools on it, such as bookings, payments and enquiry forms. Two cards with the same total can do very different jobs after the tap.
What does the calculator leave out?
Delivery, taxes, design fees and replacement cards, because they vary by seller and by order. Check them at checkout. It also cannot tell you what a profile does after the tap - two cards with the same total can do very different jobs.
How many people can share one Beeps Pro account?
Up to 5. Pro is priced per account: ₹299 for 1, ₹399 for 2, ₹499 for 3, ₹599 for 4, ₹699 for 5 a year. Each person still needs their own card at ₹1,699. For 20 or more people, Enterprise covers the profiles for one yearly price.
Can I use a Beeps profile without buying the card?
Yes. The profile works from its own link and QR code, so set the card price to 0 to see the profile-only cost, from ₹199 a year on Basic. You can add the card later.
Why are some sellers missing from the presets?
A preset needs two published facts: the card price and how the profile is paid for. Some sellers do not state the second on their site, and some quote on request. They are listed in the price index with what they do publish. You can still type any seller's numbers in yourself.
Is anything I type sent to Beeps Card?
No. The calculator runs in your browser. The numbers never leave your device, and nothing is saved.
The reasoning behind the numbers: who pays for hosting on a "no subscription" card and the NFC business card price guide. Comparing with paper instead? Use the paper versus digital cost calculator. More free tools.
