Paper cards aren't going away overnight, and they still have their place. But here's how the two compare on the things that matter day to day:
| Paper visiting card | Digital visiting card | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost over time | You pay again every time you run out or reprint | One profile you keep using; a free plan is available |
| Updating details | Not possible once printed | Edit anytime in the app; changes show on the same link |
| Reprinting | Needed for every new number, title, role or address | Not needed |
| Environment | Paper and ink used each print run, and many cards are thrown away | No paper needed to share; one reusable NFC card if you want a physical option |
| Whether contacts get saved | Depends on the other person typing your details in manually | The receiver can tap to call, email or message you directly from your card |
| Sharing remotely | Not possible without scanning or photographing it | Send the link on WhatsApp, email or LinkedIn in seconds |
