Send a handwritten notecard online
By Justin Winter · Updated October 17, 2026
The short answer
Write the message and paperplane mails a folded notecard in an envelope. The base card is $1.99 with a handwritten typeface. For $1.00 more, a robot writes it with a real pen in real ink. Postage and the envelope are included.
How it works
- Write your message. Keep it short, such as a thank-you or a congratulations.
- Choose handwriting. The typeface card is $1.99. Pen-written is $2.99.
- Add the address and pay. One price covers the card, the envelope and USPS postage.
- We mail it. The card goes out in an envelope, so it arrives like a greeting card, not open like a postcard.
What it costs
| Service | Price |
|---|---|
| Notecard, handwritten typeface | $1.99 |
| Notecard, written with a real pen | $2.99 |
Who it is for
- You want a thank-you or a note to feel personal without buying cards, stamps and a pen.
- An agent or script sends the note and you approve it first.
When it is not the right tool
- You need a long letter; a letter is cheaper per page.
- You need a dated USPS mailing record; send Certified Mail instead.

Questions before you send
If something goes wrong, do I pay?
If we cannot mail the letter, the hold on your card is released and you are not charged. If a letter fails after your card is charged, you are refunded automatically and in full.
Is the pen version really handwritten?
A robot writes it with a real pen in real ink. It is not a person writing each card.
Does a notecard come with an envelope?
Yes. The envelope and postage are in the price.
Can I send the same thank-you to a list?
Yes, through the API or a CSV mail merge.
