Illustrative inputs only; edit them to match your own quotes and usage. Totals exclude tax, shipping, replacements and other fees. No savings are guaranteed. NFC cards and paper cards are used differently.
What the estimates include
For paper cards, multiply the price of one print order by the number of orders each year and the comparison period. For NFC, multiply the hardware price by the number of cards and add the annual subscription amount for each year. Change every number to match your own supplier quotes and plans. The example values are editable assumptions, not market averages.
The calculator does not include tax, shipping, replacement cards, custom design charges or discounts. Add those costs to your inputs if they matter, and ask suppliers for accurate quotes. A paper card can be handed out to keep; an NFC card is usually retained and tapped or scanned, so the quantities are not automatically interchangeable.
Compare the whole experience
Price matters, but so does how you use the card. Paper works without a phone or internet connection and is easy for someone to keep. An NFC card can point to an online destination and may also carry a QR code, but a phone and connectivity may be needed to open that destination.
NearvoQ cards are a one-time purchase and their core card links work on the Free plan. Optional paid features are separate; the calculator does not assume a subscription. Use the NearvoQ order calculator for its volume pricing and US shipping rules, then return here to compare your own alternatives.
