Looking for a Felt alternative?
Felt is good at what it does, which is a real card in the mail. People look elsewhere when the day is too close for the post, when the person lives far away, or when they want the card to sound like them. Here is the honest comparison.
3 letters a month free. No card details, no trial to cancel.
The short version
Stay with Felt if…
You want your real handwriting on paper and do not mind waiting a couple of days for it to arrive.
Try GreetSpark if…
You want it to arrive today, anywhere, with your voice and a song, in one of 60 handwriting styles, and three letters a month free.
Prices side by side
A paper card is paid per card, then the mail decides when it lands. A letter is paid for when you send it, and arrives the same minute.
- Single-panel card $4.50
- Felt Plus from $5 a month with 3 cards
- $1.50 extra postage outside the US
- 3 letters a month free
- $3.99 for one letter
- $6.99 a month unlimited (300 a month fair use)

What Felt does best
A card app built around your own handwriting. Write with your finger or a stylus, add photos, and Felt prints and mails the card.
What GreetSpark does differently
The things a typed e-card or a card in the mail cannot do. Every one of them is in the product today.
It tears open on their phone
The envelope tears and the letter rises out. No app to install, and they never make an account.
Written in your handwriting
60 handwriting styles, so it reads like a letter from you rather than a typed e-card.
Your voice, not a font
Record a voice note of up to 60 seconds. It plays inside the letter.
A song for it
One of 101 original soundtracks, none of which trigger copyright claims when shared.
You know when it lands
An email the moment they open it, and how many times they come back to it.
6 a.m. their time
Write it today and schedule it up to a year ahead, to arrive at breakfast wherever they are.
Send one free and see the difference
3 letters a month are free. No app, no card details, and you are told when it is opened.
