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.

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.

Everything worked as expected Everything worked as expected. I created a group birthday card for our manager and everyone could sign it before I sent it to her. Would recommend!

Personalized Gifts for Colleagues! Love using Ellacard to send personalized gifts to my colleagues.

Got billed twice after transaction apparently failed! Tried to finish but the website just kept hanging up and could not complete the transaction. Then two hours later, got notifications from PayPal…Ella Cards billed me twice??!! And I had already sent an e-card using a different company. Edit: Ella Cards responded promptly and issued refund.
