Static vs dynamic, in practice
A dynamic code is convenient: change your job title and every printed code shows the new card. The cost is that the code depends on the provider and your plan. A static vCard code is the opposite — fixed, but independent of anyone. For printed cards that live in people's wallets for years, independence is often worth more. Static vs dynamic QR codes
When Uniqode is the better choice
Larger companies that need SSO, Entra ID or Okta provisioning, enforced templates, deactivating cards when people leave, and analytics in one admin console will find those features in Uniqode's team plans.
When FastCardGen is the better choice
Small teams and individuals who want cards that keep working regardless of any subscription, with no staff data stored elsewhere and no per-user bill.
