Pay for the moment, not for the software
A VirAR card has two halves: the AR layer that makes it move, and the paper it is printed on. You pay a small fee for the first, the print partner's price plus a modest markup for the second, and shipping at exactly what it costs us.
How a price is built
Three lines, and nothing hidden behind them.
The AR layer
A one-off fee per card, based on how many videos or 3D effects you attach. Starts at $0.99 for a single video.
Printing
The print partner's price for your size, paper and quantity, plus 15%. That margin is what pays for the platform.
Shipping
Passed through at cost. Whatever the partner charges to get the card to the address, that is what appears on your total.
The AR fee
One video on the cover costs less than six scattered through a folded card, because each one is a separate tracked scene we compile, host and serve. Videos and 3D effects share the same ladder — they don't stack as separate charges.
| AR moments on the card | Fee | What that looks like |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | $0.99 | A video hidden behind the cover photo. |
| 2–3 | $2.44 | Cover video, plus one or two more inside. |
| 4 | $2.88 | A spread where most photos move. |
| Each one after that | +$0.44 | A card that brings a whole year back to life. |
Printing
Product-only prices, before our 15% and before shipping. Paper choice affects the price — the figures below use the lowest-priced paper available for each size.
| Format | Size | Printed by | Product price from |
|---|---|---|---|
| Postcard | Mini — 4.25 × 5.5″ | Gooten | $0.55 |
| Postcard | Standard — 5 × 7″ | Gooten | $0.55 |
| Postcard | US Postcard — 6 × 4″ | Prodigi | Quoted at checkout |
| Folded Card | Mini — 4.25 × 5.5″ | Gooten | $1.07 |
| Folded Card | Standard — A5 | Prodigi | Quoted at checkout |
| Folded Card | Large — A4 | Prodigi | Quoted at checkout |
Three real orders
Same arithmetic the checkout runs, with shipping left out because it depends on where the card is going.

What costs nothing
- The card builder, with every template, font, sticker and stock photo in it.
- As many drafts as you like — you only pay when you order.
- Hosting and serving the AR scene once the card exists.
- Editing the design before you order, as many times as you want.
Questions about price
Why can't you show me one final price?
Because part of the final price comes directly from our print partners. Printing and shipping are quoted live for your exact size, paper and destination; the AR fee is fixed and shown above.
Do you mark up shipping?
No. Shipping is passed through at exactly what the print partner charges us. The only markup we add anywhere is 15% on the printed product itself.
What's the payment-processing line?
A flat 15% on the full order total, covering what our payment processor (Stripe) charges us for currency conversion — the one cost here that isn't specific to printing or shipping. It's broken out on your own order's price panel before you pay, never folded silently into another line.
Is there a subscription?
No. There is no account tier, no monthly fee and no per-month limit. You pay per card, when you order one.
What currency am I charged in?
US dollars. Your bank may convert at its own rate if your card is in another currency.
Are taxes included?
Prices are shown excluding any local sales tax, VAT or import duty. Where a destination applies them, they are added at checkout or collected on delivery according to that country's rules.
Can I order the same card in bulk?
Yes — quantity is set at checkout, and the print partner's per-unit price drops as the run grows. For runs above about 50 cards, or for a design we should build for you, use the contact form and we will quote it directly.
