What you get for $0:
New to all this? Here’s how a digital business card works.
You sign up, share it at a few events, then the parts you need sit behind a paywall. People don’t mind paying. They mind the ambush.
“I hate that there are additional, recurring monthly fees for using the Popl platform to its maximum potential.”A Popl customer review
Capture, follow-up, booking and CRM sync are on the free plan, for life.
“I didn’t know I have to pay $10 monthly fee otherwise I would not purchase this Dot Thin.”A Dot buyer, in a public comment
No credit card to sign up, so there’s nothing to charge and nothing to cancel.
“everything is already a subscription as-is, just really don’t want to get involved in yet another subscription”A buyer, in a public comment
Nothing monthly unless you choose the upgrade. You’ll never be moved onto it.
About two minutes, start to finish. No credit card at any point.
Your photo, job title and links fill in for you. Change anything you like, with every block and theme free.
A booking link so they pick a time while they still remember you. Your services, with checkout. A video intro and a voice note.
Show your QR code, send your link, or tap an NFC card. They save you in one press, and send their details back in another.
No trial. No cap on contacts. Here’s the full list.
Every block and theme, your colors, and no V1CE logo on it.

Prices are the cheapest paid plan that adds the feature, billed yearly. *Per user: HiHello Business has a 5-user minimum. Wave $7 is Pro; Blinq $7.33 is Premium, $16.58 is Pro and $4.99 is Business; HiHello $6 is Professional. Checked on wavecnct.com/pricing, blinq.me/pricing and hihello.com/pricing, 3 November 2026. A cross means it isn’t on their free plan.
You can. A Canva card is a picture of your details, and a free QR code opens a link. Both are free. Neither saves you into their phone, and nothing comes back to you.

The free part isn’t the card. It’s what happens after you hand it over.
Free stays free because the free plan isn’t how we make money.
Fair question. We make money two ways: NFC cards, which you buy once if you want one, and Client Capture OS, the optional AI upgrade. You need neither to use the free plan.
Seven years in, V1CE makes a profit and takes no outside money. So there’s no investor waiting for us to start charging for the free plan.
Free for life means no trial, no end date and no credit card on file. Nothing switches on by itself.
Anyone who meets people for work and doesn’t want another monthly bill.
You’re the one at the event and the one doing the follow-up. Every tap brings their details back, so no contact dies in your pocket.
“Before V1CE, I’d come home from events with a pocket full of paper cards and zero follow-ups.”Charlie Harrison, CEO & Co-Founder, Furniture Village
Your listings, reviews and booking link on one page. Buyers save you at the open house and book a showing before they leave.
“Our contacts now receive clean, consistent information, and we don’t have to worry about someone inputting the wrong phone number or email address later.”Ignacio Mallagray, Marketing Director, Gilmar Real Estate
Contacts come back tagged by where you met. So the follow-up goes out the next morning, not next month.
“We’re no longer scrambling to follow up after events or trying to remember which contact was from which meeting.”Rob Mitchell, Commercial Director, AFC Bournemouth
Each person on the team gets their own page on the free plan. Customers save them in one tap. Teams get up to 30% off.
“My details are now always stored on my customers’ phones rather than them looking for the card I gave them.”Faisal Parkar, Head of IT, Tim Hortons Middle East
Marketing directors, IT heads and managers on what changed when the paper cards went. See the numbers, then hear it from them.
“Our team can effectively connect instead of just dropping off a card.”
Ginni RevueltaDirector of Marketing & Communications“Clients and partners love the cards.”
Julia LucarelliFacilities Manager“The V1CE CRM system has transformed how we manage relationships.”
James WoodwardHead of IT Business Partnering“An algorithm can’t do what this card can do.”
