Card Event vs SendWishOnline
SendWishOnline offers free group cards, and premium cards bought as credit packs: the more credits you buy, the cheaper each card, down to $0.75 a card in a pack of 200. Finished cards can be delivered as a PDF.
Card Event does not have a free tier for delivered cards and costs more per card. What it offers instead is one simple payment per card, made only when you deliver it, and video and voice notes recorded in the browser alongside the written messages.

Common questions
- Is there a free version of Card Event?
- Building a card and collecting messages is free, but delivering it to the recipient is paid, once per card. If you need a card that is free end to end, SendWishOnline's free cards are the better fit.
- Why is Card Event more expensive per card?
- Card Event stores and serves video and voice recordings for every card, keeps delivered cards online for the recipient to reopen, and charges per card rather than selling credits in bulk. For a one-off card that is a single payment at delivery; for someone sending dozens a year, a credit pack elsewhere will be cheaper.
