I would go less for a rating but that… I would go less for a rating but that is not an option. The "service" is a joke and not as advertised. I knew from the start that I would design my own card. I am so glad I did as the selection is mundane at best and uncreative. The site unfortunately does not provide a horizontal format nor informative instructions. My card supposedly was sent to the named collaborators, who I supposed to be those to sign the card, per the "details" for the order but 24 hours after it was supposedly sent none received it. Well, except for the bereaved, who was not to have received it until later in the week AFTER his colleagues had signed it. As others mentioned imagine my surprise when at the end there was a charge as NOWHERE was it mentioned. The charge was not significant and for the convenience it might have been worth it in this time of hybrid schedules had the "service" actually worked as advertised. I already have one email submitted with questions to which 24 hours later I have not gotten a response. I submitted another email a few minutes ago asking how I can be sure the collaborators don't receive the silly card now that the intended individual has already received it. I cannot recommend this "service" and would like to speak to those leaving 5-star reviews to see if they were written by the owners family.

Confusing - don't waste your time Don't waste your time here if you're an occasional "evite" type person. You get what you pay for. I'll confess, I went here seeking a less expensive alternative for a simple e-card for a 11 year old birthday party. All I wanted to do was use a photo my daughter created as the cover and sent it to 15 people. Evite wanted to charge me maybe $1.5-2/invite? So I tried this service (maybe owned by Evite, ironically). The interface is confusing. Notifications about responses to an event don't seem to occur. Want to share or co-host with a spouse or other person. Nope. Need a mobile experience - get ready for 5 years ago. Maybe if you send e-invites all the time and want rock bottom pricing and are ok learning a new system for managing all your invites, maybe you'd like this service. Maybe.

Not a free service It is difficult to find pricing on the site, but offers both subscription and the option to add credit toward future purchases. Look for this before attempting to make a purchase; it is not discoverable from the check-out page. Note that cost is based on the number of people who sign the card/ add images, etc. as well as if it is a group-signed card or sent from an individual. I did not find this to be cost-effective, and I don't appreciate the less-than-transparent pricing options. I will find another service.

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.

We use Ellacard to send cards and gifts… We use Ellacard to send cards and gifts to our employees and we love how interactive and collaborative the platform is! I would highly recommend.
