In their own words
Postable
Postable is a web service that prints, addresses, stamps, and mails physical greeting cards. Customers can choose a design, customize photos, messages, and fonts, or upload an image. Contacts can submit their details through a personal link, or users can import CSV and Excel files or enter addresses manually. The online address book is free even without card purchases. Carbon Copy sends one message to multiple contacts and personalizes each card with the recipient's name. Users can schedule birthday cards for the year in advance and anniversary cards for a chosen date. Business features include contact imports, logo-branded cards, volume discounts, and a dedicated account representative. Postable says its cards are printed on 100% post-consumer recycled paper. Cards usually arrive in about a week, but delivery is not guaranteed; tracking shows locations and estimated dates, while USPS does not scan final delivery. Listed card rates are $5.99 plus stamp for one card, $5.29 each plus stamp for 2–19 cards, and $4.59 each plus stamp for 20 or more. The site also lists the paid service from $2.24.
QuantumDigital
QuantumDigital is an online direct-mail service for designing, proving, printing, and sending postcards. Customers can upload a design or use free templates, then upload their own mailing list or use QuantumDigital’s verified U.S. national residential list. Campaigns can be scheduled weekly, monthly, or quarterly and targeted around listed properties or customer contacts. The company says postcards can enter the mail stream the next business day, with the same turnaround stated for API orders. Its APIs support USPS navigation, national consumer lists, uploaded designs or lists, and shipping small-order marketing materials. Measurement and personalization options include Intelligent Mail barcodes, QR codes, SMS marketing, personalized landing pages, coupon codes, and variable data. API pricing is $0.10 for Print / Ship API, minimum 20 pieces, and $0.85 for Direct Mail API, minimum one piece. EDDM formats are $35.00, $40.00, or $49, starting at 25,000+ pieces.
