Short answer
Yes, you can get an NFC business card without a subscription. A NearvoQ card is a one-time purchase ($19.99 for Basic, $29.99 for Custom) and everything it needs to keep working is on the free plan, with no time limit: the card's permanent link, your profile, changing where the card goes, the QR code and the last 7 days of Insights. NearvoQ Pro is optional, and if you ever stop it, your cards keep opening exactly where they did.

It's "what happens to the card if I don't pay monthly?" Smart cards have two parts: the physical card and the link it opens. The card is a one-off object. The link is a service someone has to keep running. Some sellers charge monthly for the service from day one; some offer a free tier with the important parts behind a paywall; some sell a card whose link is locked forever and simply never change.
Before you buy any smart card, check three things: does the card keep opening something useful if you never pay again, can you change where it goes on the free tier, and does your profile stay public on the free tier. On NearvoQ the answer to all three is yes.
| Included on Free | Details |
|---|---|
| The card's permanent link | The NFC chip and the QR code never stop resolving. |
| Change where it goes | Profile, Google reviews, booking, menu, social or any link, as often as you like. |
| Your public profile | 1 profile with buttons, Save contact, Share, a QR code and an optional contact form. |
| Contacts | See and export, as a spreadsheet, the details people choose to share with you. |
| Insights | Taps, scans and button opens for the last 7 days, and a monthly report. |
| Card templates | 10 of the 100 templates for Custom cards, plus anything you design from scratch. |
NearvoQ Pro is for owners who want more than the basics: up to 10 profiles, all 100 templates, Insights over 30 days and a year with a breakdown per card and per button, weekly reports, brand import from your website, and the option to hide NearvoQ branding on your profile. It costs $6.99 a month or $58.00 a year, starts with a 7-day free trial (card required), and renews automatically until you cancel.
If Pro ends, your account returns to Free. Cards keep working, your live profile stays live, and the extra history simply isn't shown. Nothing you printed becomes useless.

The free profile isn't a demo. It's the same page Pro owners have, with your photo and logo, a contact list, up to 24 buttons, your colors and fonts, and the floating Save contact and Share buttons. The free plan shows a small "Connected through NearvoQ" line at the bottom; Pro can hide it.
If all you need is one card that opens one good profile, you never need to pay again after buying the card.
No. There's no monthly charge to keep a card working. The free plan has no time limit.
