A V1CE alternative that starts at nothing

V1CE bundles a premium NFC card with a full client-capture CRM for a single £49.99 a month, and has no free plan. If what you want is the card part, that's a lot of product to buy for it.

Two very different purchases

V1CE is not really a competitor to a digital business card — it is a bundle. As of July 2026, £49.99 a month gets you a premium NFC card with lifetime replacements plus a full client capture system: CRM, automated follow-ups, booking, agreements, payments and an AI assistant. There is one tier and no free plan, just a 30-day trial.

That is a coherent product for someone whose job is closing deals in person, and if it replaces a CRM you already pay for, the maths can work comfortably.

It is a lot to buy if what you actually wanted was a good digital business card. That is the gap CompanyCard fills: free for one card, $8 a month if you want custom branding and the credit removed, $12 per user for a team with admin controls — and no hardware to receive or replace.

Frequently asked questions

Does V1CE have a free plan?

No. As of July 2026 V1CE offers a 30-day free trial and then a single tier at £49.99 per month. It is explicit that there are no other tiers or add-ons. CompanyCard has a free plan with no time limit and no credit card.

What is included in V1CE's £49.99 a month?

A premium NFC smart business card with free shipping and lifetime replacements, plus its Client Capture OS — CRM, automated follow-ups, booking, agreements and payments — and a Scout AI networking assistant. It is a bundle, not just a card, which is why the price sits where it does. Check v1ce.co for current terms.

Is CompanyCard cheaper than V1CE?

Substantially, but they are not the same purchase. CompanyCard is free for one card, $8 a month for Pro and $12 per user for Business — a digital business card product. V1CE at £49.99 a month bundles hardware and a full client-capture CRM. If you need the CRM and the physical card, compare it against what you would otherwise pay for those separately.

When is V1CE the better choice?

If you want a premium physical NFC card and a CRM with follow-ups, booking and payments in one subscription, and £49.99 a month is proportionate to the deals you close. For a lot of consultants and salespeople it will be. A free digital business card is not a substitute for a CRM.

Can I use my V1CE card with CompanyCard?

If your NFC card lets you write a custom URL, you can point it at your CompanyCard link and a tap will open your card. CompanyCard does not sell hardware, so anything you already own keeps working alongside QR and link sharing.
