X, Threads and Bluesky NFC Cards: Which One Do You Need?

By the NFC Review Card team · Published September 2, 2026 · Updated October 19, 2026

X (Twitter), Threads and Bluesky all revolve around short posts and conversations. If you are active on one of them, a card lets people follow you without typing your handle. Here is how they compare.

X (Twitter)

The X NFC card opens your X profile. X is where many journalists, politicians, analysts, sportspeople and tech commentators post. It suits:

reporters and commentators,
public figures and event speakers,
brands that post news, offers or customer support replies.

Link format: x.com/yourhandle. Older twitter.com links also work.

Threads

The Threads NFC card opens your Threads profile. Threads is connected to Instagram, so it fits:

creators and small brands already active on Instagram,
writers and community builders who post text updates,
people who want a gentler place to talk than X.

Link format: threads.com/@yourhandle.

Bluesky

The Bluesky NFC card opens your Bluesky profile. Bluesky attracts developers, writers, researchers and people who moved from X. It suits:

tech founders and open-source people,
journalists and academics,
early adopters building a new audience.

Link format: bsky.app/profile/yourhandle.

How to choose

Which platform do you post on the most? Buy that one.
Where is your audience? If your followers are on X, put your card there, even if you like another app better.
Are you active? A card is only useful if there are recent posts. An empty profile makes people leave.

Where to use them

Conferences and press events.
Meet-ups and hackathons.
Book launches and product demos.
Business stalls where people want updates.

One card, more platforms

If you want people to reach several profiles from one tap, use the all-in-one card. See Linktree and all-in-one cards.

Ordering

Each card holds one link. Cards are sold wholesale with a minimum order of 100 pieces of the same card: see wholesale pricing.

Common questions

Which one is right for my brand?

Choose the platform where your audience already is, and where you post at least weekly.

Do old twitter.com links still work?

Yes. Both twitter.com and x.com links open your X profile.

Can I buy one card for all three?

Use the all-in-one card with a link page if you want all three on one card.
