How Much Does Digital Business Card Cost in India? (2026 Price Guide)

A digital business card in India costs ₹0 for the profile and ₹899 to ₹2,199 once for an NFC card, depending on the material, with seven years of the Pro plan and a GST invoice included. See what the price covers, how it compares with paper, and when paper still works out cheaper.

How much does digital business card cost in India? Anywhere from ₹0 to ₹2,199, and you pay it once. A ProfileTap profile with a shareable link and QR code is free for as long as you use it. If you want a physical NFC card that people can tap to save your details, white PVC starts at ₹899 and the price climbs with the material, up to ₹2,199 for gold or silver metal. Every card comes with a GST invoice and seven years of the Pro plan.

How much does digital business card cost in India: the short version

  • The profile costs nothing. Money only comes in when you want a card to hand over, and the card's material sets the price.
  • Each card is paid for once and carries seven years of Pro, so there is no renewal date to remember.
  • A box of paper cards is cheaper on day one. It stops being cheaper the first time your number or title changes.

Is there a free digital business card option in India?

Yes. You can set up a complete digital business card in India at ₹0: a live profile page, a link and QR code you can share as often as you like, and a Save Contact button. There is no trial clock and no payment details are asked for. The free plan leaves out one thing, the physical NFC card, and that stays optional. Plenty of people who share mostly over WhatsApp and email never need more.

How much do NFC cards cost?

A card's price is set by its material. The chip, the printed QR code and the profile behind them are the same on every card, and every card is a single payment.

How does the digital visiting card price compare with printing paper cards?

On the first day, a box of a hundred paper cards costs less than the digital visiting card price. The catch is that paper keeps billing you. A new job, a new number or a new title means a new print run, and whatever is left of the old box gets thrown away. A ProfileTap card is updated in the profile and never reprinted, so for most working professionals it comes out cheaper inside a year or two. Each later change to your details widens the gap.

When the NFC card costs less over time

  • One payment covers you through changes of number, title or employer
  • Your details land straight in the other person's phone contacts
  • Seven years of Pro come with the card, while a box of paper simply runs out
  • Starts at ₹899 with no monthly charge

When paper still costs less

  • A one-off event where you will give out a hundred cards in a single day
  • Contacts who rarely use a smartphone and will not tap anything
  • Details that have not changed in years and are unlikely to

Will you pay anything after buying the card?

No. The card is paid for once, keeps working as long as you have it, and includes seven years of the Pro plan at no extra charge. Optional paid plans exist for people who later want more, such as deeper analytics or a team dashboard, but the card and its profile do not depend on one. If you are still deciding whether the free profile is enough on its own, the free versus paid breakdown shows where the free plan runs out.

What does the price of an NFC visiting card include, and why is it more than paper?

You get the card in the material you picked, the NFC chip inside it and a printed QR code, a live profile you can edit whenever you like, seven years of the Pro plan and a GST invoice. Setup and everyday sharing cost nothing extra. That bundle is why the card costs more than paper at the start. One payment covers the chip, the material and years of profile hosting, while a box of paper covers one print run and has to be bought again as soon as a detail changes.

Worth knowing before you pay

  • Prices move. The table matches the live price list on the day this page was updated, and the collection page is always current.
  • A metal card costs more than twice as much as PVC and works exactly the same way. Pay for the weight and finish only if the people you meet will notice.
  • The savings case assumes your details change. If your card has stayed the same for five years, paper may remain the cheaper option for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

₹0 if a shareable profile is all you need. A physical NFC card costs ₹899 to ₹2,199, paid once, and the material decides where you land: white PVC at the bottom of the range, gold or silver metal at the top. Neither route has a monthly fee, and every card ships with a GST invoice.

Yes. ProfileTap's free plan gives you a full digital business card at ₹0, with a live profile page, a link and QR code to share, and a Save Contact button. It has no trial period and asks for no payment details. A physical NFC card is the only thing it leaves out, and buying one is optional.

Because one payment covers far more than printing. The NFC chip, the card material and years of profile hosting all sit inside the price. A box of paper cards pays for a single print run, and that cost comes back every time your number, title or employer changes, which is how the NFC card catches up.

The extra cost is in the card body. The NFC chip and the profile behind it are identical on both. Metal needs a stainless steel shell, engraving or single-colour printing, and slower production, while PVC is printed in full colour in large runs, which keeps it cheap. What you are paying for is how the card feels in someone's hand.

The card in your chosen material, its NFC chip and printed QR code, a live profile you can edit at any time, seven years of the Pro plan and a GST invoice. Setup and basic sharing are part of the price, so nothing else is needed to start using the card the day it arrives.

Yes, for most professionals within a year or two. An NFC card is a one-time cost starting at ₹899, and when your details change you edit the profile in a minute. Paper needs a fresh print run, and a fresh bill, every time a number or title changes, so its cost keeps adding up.
