Choosing the right Scaanme plan is not complicated, but it helps to see real examples from professionals in your situation. This guide walks through each plan and who it is best for, with examples from Arab professionals across the region.
The Three Plans at a Glance
| Feature | Lite (Free) | Pro ($8/mo) | Business (Custom) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Digital business card | 1 | Unlimited | Team-wide |
| Custom domain | No | Yes | Yes |
| WhatsApp Store catalog | No | Yes | Yes |
| Booking system | No | Yes | Yes |
| Analytics | Basic | Full | Full + Team |

| Remove Scaanme branding | No | Yes | Yes |

Lite Plan: Who Should Use It
The free Lite plan is right for you if:
- You are testing Scaanme before committing
- You are a student or early-career professional with no product or service to sell yet
- You need a simple digital card with contact info and social links, nothing more
The Lite plan is not right if you want a custom domain, analytics, or to sell products or services via WhatsApp.
Pro Plan: The Most Popular Choice
At $8/month, Pro is the right choice for:
- Freelancers and independent professionals (designers, consultants, trainers, lawyers, doctors)
- Small business owners who sell products or take bookings
- Real estate agents, insurance brokers, and sales professionals
- Any professional who attends events and wants the full NFC card experience
The ROI math: If Pro helps you close even one additional client per month worth $100+, the plan pays for itself 12x over.
Business Plan: For Teams and Agencies
The Business plan is for:
- Companies with sales or business development teams (each member gets their own card)
- Clinics and hospitals with multiple practitioners
- Agencies that manage digital cards for clients
- Chains of stores, clinics, or service centers
The key feature is centralized team management, one admin can update all team cards, maintain brand consistency, and see combined analytics.
Common Questions from Arab Professionals
"I'm a doctor in Riyadh, which plan?" Pro. You need booking, WhatsApp for appointment confirmation, and analytics to understand which referral sources drive patients.
"I run a small boutique in Cairo, which plan?" Pro. WhatsApp Store catalog, product photos and prices, and direct ordering will dramatically increase sales.
"I have a 12-person engineering firm in Dubai, which plan?" Business. Each engineer and business developer needs their own card, and you want brand consistency across all of them.
"I'm a fresh graduate in Amman looking for a job, which plan?" Lite. Share your CV link, LinkedIn, portfolio, and phone. The free plan is more than enough.
Plan Upgrade Path
Most users start on Lite, realize they need Pro features within 30 days, and upgrade. The upgrade is instant, you do not lose any data or setup when you upgrade.
