Ellacards is not a no subscription fee… Ellacards is not a no subscription fee service as advertised. I wish I would have scrolled down to the bottom of the pricing page after the pricing options per card before wasting my afternoon trying to design one card (my first and last time using Ellacards) to discover that prepaid credits are required, not the option to purchase a single card as listed. Ellacards has unique options with the ability to add photos, personalize messages from contributors (friends/family), and add music to their cards but I found it unfortunate that they don’t advertise their pricing credit/subscription fee honestly on their site. I should have known prior to creating the card before I used my time I can’t get back.

Deceptive Checkout Experience Ellacard is peak "we designed our check out experience for maximum revenue versus actual customer experience" design. Look, I work in tech and I understand you want people to "get to the end" but this feels deceptive. You pick your card, entire a little note, enter the email address. It's digital, how expensive could it be, right? $6.99 CAD?! LOL. WHAT? Why is sending a DIGITAL CARD more expensive than me getting an actual card, postage, and sending it in the mail? Of course they're going to bet that you've put too much work in to turn back now and ultimately checkout with your purchase. Zing! Look, if you're a business, and you're going to send a bunch of emails to your colleagues throughout the year for various occasions, need a bulk signing capability, and want a little pizzazz in the process, maybe the subscription makes sense. But if you're just an average person looking to sending a one-off card (from one person to one person), you're better off finding an alternative or even just sending an email.
