A digital business card in India costs anywhere from ₹0 to about ₹2,200, paid once and never as a monthly fee. The short answer to how much does digital business card cost in india: a free ProfileTap profile is ₹0 for as long as you use it, and NFC cards that let someone tap your card to save your details start at ₹899 for white PVC and rise with the material to ₹2,199 for the gold or silver metal card. Every price below is one-time and comes with a GST invoice.
Key takeaways
- The profile is free. You only pay when you want a physical NFC card, and the material is the only thing that moves the price.
- Every card is a one-time payment that includes 7 years of the Pro plan; there is no subscription needed to keep it working.
- Paper looks cheaper per box but repeats with every job change, number change or new title. A card that updates itself usually wins within a year or two.
Is there a free digital business card option in India?
Yes. You can create a complete digital business card in India at ₹0: a live profile page, unlimited QR code and link sharing, and a Save Contact button, with no trial period and no card details asked for. The only thing the free plan does not include is a physical NFC card, and that stays optional. If you mainly share your details over WhatsApp and email, the free profile may be all you ever need.
How much do NFC cards cost?
Once you want a card in your hand, the price depends on material, not features. Every card carries the same chip, the same printed QR code and the same digital profile, and every one is a single payment.
| Card | Material | Price, one-time | Included |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free profile | None, digital only | ₹0 | Profile page, QR code, link sharing, Save Contact |
| White PVC card | PVC | ₹899 | Card, NFC chip, QR code, profile, 7 years of Pro, GST invoice |
| Black PVC card | PVC | ₹999 | Same as above |
| Wooden NFC card | Wood | ₹1,299 | Same as above |
| Black metal card | Metal | ₹1,999 | Same as above |
| Gold or silver metal card | Metal | ₹2,199 | Same as above |
Prices are the live figures at the time of writing; the current price of every card type is on the NFC card price list. The only thing that changes as you go down the table is the material in your hand.
How does the digital visiting card price compare with printing paper cards?
The digital visiting card price can look higher than a box of a hundred paper cards, but paper is a recurring cost. Every job change, new number or new title means another print run, and the half-used box goes in the bin. A ProfileTap card updates in the profile and never needs reprinting, so for most professionals it works out cheaper within a year or two, and the gap widens every time something on your card changes.
Where the NFC card is cheaper over time
- One payment, no reprint when your number, title or employer changes
- The recipient gets your details on their phone, not in a drawer
- Includes 7 years of the Pro plan rather than a box that runs out
- Starts at ₹899 and never adds a monthly fee
Where paper is still the cheaper choice
- Lower first spend for a one-off event where you will hand out a hundred cards in a day
- Works for people who never check their phone and will not tap anything
- No profile to keep current
Is it a one-time cost or a subscription?
One-time. You pay for the card once, it keeps working for as long as you own it, and 7 years of the Pro plan are bundled at no extra charge. If you later want more, such as advanced analytics or a team dashboard, optional plans exist, but the card and its profile never need one to keep working. Choosing between the free profile and a paid card is its own question; the free versus paid breakdown walks through where the free plan stops being enough.
What does the price of an NFC visiting card include, and why is it more than paper?
The price includes the card in your chosen material, the embedded NFC chip and printed QR code, a live digital profile you can edit any time, 7 years of the Pro plan, and a GST invoice. Setup and basic sharing cost nothing extra. That is also why the card costs more than paper up front: the one payment covers the chip, the material and years of profile hosting, where a box of paper cards only ever covers a single print run, and that cost repeats the moment one detail changes.
Honest limits
- Prices change. The table reflects the live price list on the day this was updated; the collection page is always current.
- A metal card costs more than double a PVC one and does the same job. Pay for the feel in the hand only if that matters to the people you meet.
- The savings argument assumes your details change. If nothing on your card has changed in five years, paper may stay cheaper for you.
