Card Event vs GroupGreeting
GroupGreeting makes online cards that look and turn like a paper card, with unlimited signers and pages, and a PDF of the finished card. At $5.99 a card it is one of the cheapest ways to send one, and annual packs bring that down further.
The main difference is when you pay. GroupGreeting asks you to buy the card before you can invite anyone to sign it. Card Event lets you build the card, share it and collect every message for free, and you pay only when you deliver it, at a price set by how many messages it holds. Card Event also takes video and voice notes, recorded straight in the browser.
