Looking for a SendOutCards alternative?

SendOutCards 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 SendOutCards if…

Your clients expect a card in the mailbox and you send enough each month to use a plan.

Try GreetSpark if…

You would rather pay $39 a month for 500 letters on the Business plan, sent from your own email with no GreetSpark branding, and see exactly who opened theirs.

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.

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.

When we checked on October 24, 2026, SendOutCards listed $37 a month Card-A-Day plan, $97 a month Unlimited, $147 and $247 a month Unlimited Plus plans. Prices change, so confirm on their site before you buy.
