Paperless Post vs POOK

Paperless Post is a web and mobile service for making, sending, and managing digital invitations and stationery. Hosts can choose card invitations or textable Flyer event pages for weddings, birthdays, and parties, then customize colors, fonts, layouts, and stickers or add their own logos, photos, and videos. Invitations can go by email, text, or shareable link; text delivery is limited to the US and Canada. Event tools include RSVP tracking, guest messaging, guest list imports, co-hosts, capacity settings, and check-in through the app. Users can also link to virtual events, add dates to online calendars, and include third-party gift registry links. The app supports contact importing and sharing through Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp. The free feature set covers the first 50 invitations. Paid card invitations are $0.50 per guest for Basic, $1.05 per guest for Premium, and $1.44 per guest for All Access. Paperless Pro is $250.00 per year for 250 annual guests. Custom URLs, password protection, Guest Tags, and check-in require All Access or Paperless Pro.

POOK is a browser-based invitation maker for publishing an event page as a share link and matching QR code, then collecting RSVPs. Guests can respond without an account, password, phone number or app installation; they choose attending, still deciding or unable to attend, and may add a note of up to 120 characters. Each invitation includes 30 guests, with additional capacity available in blocks of 30 for $0.90 each up to 450 self-serve guests. The gallery contains 450 editable templates, and paid invitations add AI drafting that produces three directions per generation. They also open gathering features including group chat, shared photos, Mood Pulse, Moment Room and 32 Play Kit activities. A Google Calendar link and an.ics download include alarms set for 24 hours and two hours before the gathering. Participant-level data, including chat, photos and individual game records, is deleted 48 hours afterward; the host keeps an aggregate recap. POOK supports eight languages. Plans range from Free at free to Studio at $19.99 a month.
