Free GroupGreeting alternatives
GroupGreeting is $5.99 for a single card, with volume packs down to roughly $3.99 a card at 100, and no free tier. If you want the same thing for nothing, the closest match is CardTogether: one link, unlimited signatures, messages and GIFs, a PDF download, no account for anyone, free. Signed Together and RecoCards are the next closest, free to create and send with a $2.49 optional upgrade each. Choose GroupGreeting anyway if you want its stationery-style designs, a gift card attached at checkout, or a volume pack for an office that sends cards all year.
We make one of these tools. GroupGreeting's own site blocks automated checks, so its figures carry our last human verification date rather than today's; everything else was read off the company's own pricing page on 2026-10-31.
