GroupGreeting alternative
A fresher take on the group card
GroupGreeting and cheerful.cards cost about the same per card. The difference is everything around the price: the design, the reveal, the first card being free.
The short version
GroupGreeting is a solid, office-friendly group card service at $4.99 plus tax per card, with yearly volume plans. cheerful.cards costs the same $4.99 — but your first card is free, bundles are pay-once credits that never expire, and the card itself opens as a designed reveal instead of a page-by-page document.
Why people go looking for an alternative
Cards that feel like documents
GroupGreeting cards are built as pages you sign, delivered with a PDF. Practical — but the recipient experience feels closer to a form than a gift.
Made for the office workflow
The catalog, the volume plans, the invoicing — GroupGreeting is aimed at organizations sending many cards. Fine for HR, heavy for a friend group.
Yearly plans for occasional senders
Volume discounts come as yearly plans, from $45 for 10 cards. If you send three cards a year, plan math is not what you want to be doing.

Same sticker price, different card
Per card, the two services cost the same — $4.99 here, $4.99 plus tax there. The difference is what that money buys. On cheerful.cards it buys a designed object: an envelope, a reveal moment, messages laid out like they were written by hand. And before any money changes hands at all, your first card is free.
Bundles without a calendar
GroupGreeting discounts volume through yearly plans — sensible for an office with a card habit. cheerful.cards sells bundles of 3, 5 or 10 credits that you buy once and spend whenever an occasion shows up. No year, no renewal, no expiry.
When the catalog matters
GroupGreeting offers a large catalog of classic card designs, familiar to anyone who has passed one around an office. If you want that specific tradition digitized — hundreds of cover choices, a PDF keepsake — it does the job well. cheerful.cards ships fewer, more opinionated designs, each built to look beautiful with zero effort from you.
When GroupGreeting is the better pick
Your organization sends dozens of cards a year and wants a yearly plan with invoicing, or you want a big traditional catalog and a PDF copy of every card. GroupGreeting has served offices for years and is genuinely good at that.
When cheerful.cards fits better
- ✓Your first card is free — try the whole experience before paying anything.
- ✓Credits, not calendars — bundles never expire, no yearly plan to pick.
- ✓A designed reveal — the card opens like a gift, not like a PDF.
