While everyone else charges $9.99 a month for a digital business card, you pay $49 once and the card is yours for life. Self-hosted on your own WordPress, your data, your control. No vendor lock-in.
Others charge monthly because they hold your data hostage. We sell the plug-in, not the service. The distinction matters.
Pay $49 once and the card works forever. No auto-renewal, no "price increase starting January," no surprise card charges. Five years from now, you are still paying the same: $0.
$49 once vs $600 over 5 yearsYour contacts, your analytics, all of it stays on your server. Not hosted on our cloud, not piped through a third-party API. GDPR-ready by design.
Your data, your siteIf a SaaS provider jacks up prices or pulls the plug, customers lose their cards overnight. If something breaks on our end, your plug-in keeps running and you still have the PHP files. The kind of independence subscription services cannot offer.
Your card, your rulesMost digital business card apps are SaaS with monthly fees. Looks cheap until you add up 60 months. Here is the actual math.
A concrete comparison with the most common alternatives. No marketing fog.
