A countertop stand is AED 200, a sticker is AED 179, the Google Grow Package is AED 399, and the Ultimate Starter Kit is AED 449.

How much does an NFC Google review card cost in 2026?
Prices depend on the format you choose and the quantity you order. A standard NFC card is the entry point; stands and bundles cost more because they include a display base or multiple items. Here is the full RATECARDS price list for the GCC, all in UAE dirham with free standard delivery built in.
| Product | Price (AED) | Best for | Format |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Review Card | From AED 99 | Solo staff, mobile teams, trying it out | Pocket / counter card |
| Google Review Sticker | AED 179 | Fixed counters, doors, tables | Stick-on NFC + QR |
| Google Review Stand | AED 200 | Reception desks, checkout counters | Standing display |
| Google Grow Package | AED 399 | Small teams wanting card + stand together | Bundle |
| Ultimate Starter Kit | AED 449 | Multi-touchpoint setups, fastest results | Complete bundle |
All five formats use the same core technology: tap to leave a Google review on iPhone 7 and newer or any modern Android, with a printed QR-code backup so the card works on any smartphone. No app download is required for your customer.
What affects the price of an NFC review card?
Three things move the cost: the format, custom branding, and quantity. A plain card is the cheapest option; stands and kits cost more because of the physical display and the extra items inside. The technology itself does not change between formats.
Format: card vs sticker vs stand
A card (from AED 99) is the most affordable and most flexible. A sticker (AED 179) is fixed to a surface and ideal for high-traffic counters. A stand (AED 200) sits upright on a desk where customers can see it. Bundles combine these so you cover more touchpoints in one order.
Custom branding
Adding your logo, brand colours, or Arabic text personalises the card and is handled at the design stage. Custom-branded orders are priced per project depending on artwork and volume. For Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, RATECARDS recommends Arabic creative because it tends to convert better with local customers.
Quantity
Single units are listed at the prices above. Larger orders for multiple branches or a whole team are quoted as a batch, which lowers the per-unit cost. If you run several outlets across the GCC, ask for a multi-location quote rather than buying one card at a time.
Is there a monthly fee or subscription?
No. The RATECARDS hardware is a one-time purchase with no recurring charge to keep it working. You pay once for the card, sticker, stand, or kit, and it keeps routing customers to your Google review page. The products are built to last around 10 years and carry a 3-year warranty.
Is shipping free in the GCC?
Yes. Standard worldwide shipping is free via DHL to every zone, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, and Bahrain. Around 97% of orders ship across the GCC, with the UAE first and Saudi Arabia second. A paid option exists only as a faster premium upgrade; the standard service costs nothing.
Which option gives the best value?
For most single locations, the Google Review Card from AED 99 is the lowest-risk way to start. Businesses that want a permanent counter display plus a handheld card usually get better value from a bundle like the Google Grow Package (AED 399) or the Ultimate Starter Kit (AED 449), because buying the items together costs less than buying each separately and covers more customer touchpoints.
Value here is not only the sticker price. Online reviews carry real weight: according to BrightLocal, around 76% of consumers regularly read online reviews for local businesses, and roughly 88% would use a business with a 4 to 5 star rating. Harvard Business School research (Michael Luca, 2016) found that a one-star rise in rating can lift revenue by about 5 to 9%. A card that helps you collect more reviews pays back its one-time cost quickly.
