Which AurCard Plan Fits Your Business? Business Basic vs Business Pro
The difference between AurCard's two plans is not the kind of tools but the size: how many employees, branches and admins. Here is how to choose without paying for capacity you will not use.
Business Basic plan · 46 SAR a month, billed yearly
AurCard sells two plans for businesses, and both open essentially the same tools: the business page, employee cards in the company identity, the customer ledger, and WhatsApp from your own company number. The difference between them is size, not kind: Business Basic at 549 SAR a year (about 46 SAR a month) suits a business with a small team and few branches, and Business Pro at 899 SAR a year (about 75 SAR a month) is for anyone needing more employees, branches, departments, admins and storage. The subscription is yearly, in Saudi riyals including VAT in Saudi Arabia and in US dollars outside it, with a 14-day money-back guarantee.
Start with one question
Before any comparison, answer this: how many people will carry a card, and how many branches will you show?
If you are a single-branch shop, a small clinic, a service office, or someone working alone or with a small team, you most likely belong on Business Basic.
If you have branches in more than one city, a sales team meeting clients every day, or departments each with its own manager, you most likely belong on Business Pro.
That question settles most of the confusion, because the two plans are not different products but two sizes of the same one.
What both plans include
On both Business Basic and Business Pro:
- The business page that works as your website, with sections shaped by your activity — services, menu, portfolio, hours, branches, booking — edited on the page itself.
- Digital business cards for employees in the company identity, with edits approved and a leaver's card stopped in one click.
- The NFC smart sticker and QR codes for every branch and every card.
- The customer ledger: a form that collects the name and number of people who visit your page, with their consent and its source.
- WhatsApp from your company number: a welcome, campaigns to those who agreed, an inbox, and an after-hours auto-reply.
- Catalogue, reviews, bookings and analytics.
- Your page opens in the visitor's phone language, with more than one language included in the plan.
Business Basic: who it is enough for
At 549 SAR a year, it is where most businesses start.
It suits a single-branch café or restaurant, a salon, a small clinic, a retail shop, a service office, or a one-person business that wants a page and a card in its own name. It includes a set number of seats, branches, departments and admins, and storage for a normal page and photos — current numbers are on the pricing page.
Candid advice: start here if you are unsure. Upgrading is available at any time, and your link, your codes and everything you built stay as they are.
Business Pro: when it earns its price
At 899 SAR a year, it extends the first plan rather than differing from it.
What grows: more seats for more employees, many more branches and departments, more admins running different parts, and much more storage — which matters to anyone showing a large photographed catalogue or portfolio — along with broader visitor analytics. Anything else it adds is listed on its card on the pricing page.
Who it suits: a business with branches in several cities, a large sales team, a broad image-heavy catalogue, or a team needing more admins, each running a part.

The table makes the main point: the jump between the plans is in capacity, not in tools. Exact numbers per plan are on the pricing page, because they are set in the system, not in this article.
Practical cases
Someone working alone: Business Basic. A page for the business, a card in their name, WhatsApp from their number.
A single-branch café: Business Basic. Menu, hours, location and reviews are the heart of what it needs.
A clinic with two departments: Business Basic, moving to Business Pro if departments grow or it needs more admins.
A chain with three or more branches: usually Business Pro, because branches, departments and admins are exactly what it expands.
A property office with a photographed listings catalogue: usually Business Pro, because of image storage.
A sales team meeting clients daily: depends on its size — a small team on Business Basic, a large one on Business Pro. And an NFC card for every rep if you want one.
Why is the subscription yearly?
An AurCard subscription is yearly, paid up front once a year. Your business page, its printed stickers and your employees' cards are tools that work all year, and a yearly subscription makes their cost one known figure instead of a charge every month.
Instead of a trial, every subscription carries a 14-day money-back guarantee from the date of payment: you build your page and really use it, and if it does not suit you, you get the amount back under the refund terms.
Add-ons: before you upgrade
Many people upgrade because they needed one more employee or one more branch. It is often cheaper to add just what you need: an extra employee at 179 SAR a year, an extra branch at 299 SAR a year, and more storage when needed — all bought from the dashboard when you need them, not up front.
The practical rule: if you need one item beyond the limit, the add-on is cheaper. If you need several at once — employees, branches, admins and storage — compare the add-ons' total with the price gap between the plans.
When not to upgrade
For a feature you think you will use later. Upgrading is available the moment you need it; do not pay today for an intention.
To fix a problem that is not in the tool. If your page attracts nobody because its bio is vague, a bigger plan will not fix that. Read common digital business card mistakes first.
Before using what you have. Anyone who has not finished their page or handed out their team's cards will not be helped by extra capacity.
How to know you genuinely need it
- You hit limits on several items at once: seats, branches, departments, admins.
- You opened a branch in a new city that needs a manager who sees only that branch.
- Your image storage is full because your catalogue grew.
Each of these is an existing need rather than a want, and an upgrade based on an existing need gets used.
Upgrading, and what stays the same
Upgrading adds capacity on top of what exists: your page link, your printed codes, your employees' cards and everything you have built stay exactly as they are.
Full prices and limits are on the pricing page, and billing questions are in subscription and payment FAQ.
