Wanted to go with boarder but no boarder got better visibility and I hope you know why! But, I wonder if you try to give no boarder about 1px of solid color boarder then that might work too. Just sharing my options. Good work either way, mate!

Thanks Mohammad! Definitely some more room to iterate based on all the comments haha.
Thanks for the feedback!

Great work, David! Both cards look clean, but I'd lean towards the 'No Border' option.
The 'No Border' card leverages the white space and subtle shadow (assuming there is one, or the background contrast) to separate the element, which feels more modern and less visually noisy.

Thanks man! Appreciate the feedback.
Yeah I think a ghost button probably help with visual hierarchy like you said. The gradient on the second button definitely detracts a little bit from the main one
Thanks!

It will depends a lot of the rest of the design where they are in, if your design is more software I recommend the border, if not, recommend the without.

It will be for a web app, so when listed alongside other property listings, I think borderless would probably be better to reduce clutter.
But if the cards were only in a short amount or by itself, border would probably be the way to go

With border obviously. Users need to clearly identify the card.

Thanks Ben! It definitely helps with visual hierarchy, but others would disagree haha

Hum! Yeah, you're right, others may disagree. But given that you stated that it's a card, I stand by my position 😎.
David's avatar
True I did say it was a card 😂 technically that is the correct choice

I think both are the same.

The one with the border is more defined, gives the eyes a visual anchor. Border all the way 🙌
