Innovnet vs V1CE
A V1CE business card is a designer-drawn NFC card from the UK in polymer, bamboo, metal, or 24K gold, and its profile software is free for life once you own one. Innovnet suits Canadian buyers who want CAD prices, delivery from Hamilton with no duties, and contacts synced to the CRM they already use.

Questions about switching from V1CE
Does V1CE ship to Canada?
V1CE makes and ships its cards from a UK workshop and sells internationally. The pages we checked do not name Canada. The card page lists free tracked delivery in 3–4 working days, and the shipping policy says 5–7 days. Checked Oct 2026.
Will I pay duties on a V1CE card?
Possibly. V1CE terms say international customers are solely responsible for all customs duties, taxes, and import fees, and the shipping policy warns that customs can delay delivery. Innovnet orders ship within Canada with no customs or duties.
Does V1CE need a monthly subscription?
No. V1CE says the profile is £0 a month for life once you buy a card. Paid plans add AI tools and its Client Capture OS. Innovnet Basic is also free, and PRO is optional at $9.99 CAD a month.
How much is a V1CE metal business card?
The Metal was listed at $149, with no currency label, as one payment that includes the design service. The Innovnet Elite metal card starts at CA$69.99.
Does V1CE sync with HubSpot or Salesforce?
V1CE pitches its own networking CRM as a replacement for HubSpot and Pipedrive. The pages we checked do not describe syncing to an outside CRM. Innovnet PRO syncs to six tools, including HubSpot and Salesforce.
