Why Australians choose ZapCard over Tapt

📅

No card expiry risk

With a subscription card, a lapsed payment means a dead card — at a conference, a client meeting, or a trade show. ZapCard has no subscription to lapse. Your card works every time.

💸

One-time cost beats ongoing fees

$39 once. A Tapt subscription pays for itself in month one — but keeps renewing. Every month after that is money you're paying to keep something that could have been yours outright.

🔒

All features included at purchase

Lead capture, Apple Wallet pass, and multiple profiles are all included in ZapCard's $39 price. No feature gating behind a premium tier.

📊

Team deployments stay simple

ZapCard team pricing is $29/card once for 5 or more. No per-user monthly billing, no seat management, one invoice. Teams of 20 is 20 × $29 — paid once.

🏢

One less SaaS subscription

An NFC business card is a product — it doesn't need to auto-renew every month. ZapCard is a purchase, not an obligation. One fewer line in your subscription audit.
