How Much Does It Cost to Get NFC Business Cards?
NFC business card pricing in South Africa varies significantly depending on the provider, the quality of the card, and what is included in the service.
What the Market Looks Like
Most South African NFC card providers charge between R299 and R600 per card for a single card. Some charge subscription fees for profile hosting. Some charge separately for design.
Tappio Pricing
Tappio offers three packages with no subscriptions and no hidden fees:
The Solo — R349 for 1 custom designed NFC card
The Trio — R549 for 3 custom designed NFC cards
The Squad — R799 for 5 custom designed NFC cards
All packages include custom card design, your company logo on the front, a QR code on the back, and landing page setup. Shipping is R100 flat rate nationwide.
The Cost Per Year Comparison
A professional who reprints paper business cards twice a year spends between R1000 and R4000 annually. A Tappio NFC card costs R349 once and can last for years. The lifetime cost is significantly lower.
Is It Worth It?
If you attend even two or three networking events per year and meet clients or partners regularly, yes. A single retained contact from a memorable NFC interaction can generate more value than the entire cost of the card.
