Signed Together vs CardTogether
Both are free for the job a small team with no budget actually has: one card, one link, everyone signs, nobody pays. Use CardTogether if you want the download included and no account anywhere in the flow. Use Signed Together if you want scheduled delivery, a print-ready PDF booklet or a high-resolution poster, and you do not mind paying $2.49 once for that card (verified 2026-10-31). Their free card does not include the download; ours does. Neither charges the people signing, and neither caps how many of them there are.
Signed Together is a free group card with a per-card premium upgrade: creating a card, collecting messages from any number of people and emailing the finished card are free, and $2.49 unlocks downloads, premium designs, effects, scheduled delivery and the removal of their branding. CardTogether has no upgrade at all, which means the PDF download and every other feature are part of the free card, and also means there is no scheduled delivery, no poster export and no design library to upgrade into.

Both tools get reached for at the same moments: a farewell card for someone leaving, a birthday card for a coworker, or a retirement card where a printable keepsake matters more than usual.

Where Signed Together is stronger
We'd rather point this out than pretend it isn't true.
- A print-ready PDF booklet (A4 or US Letter) and a high-resolution JPG poster, both part of the $2.49 premium card.
- Scheduled delivery, so a card can be set to arrive on the day rather than sent by hand.
- A large library of occasion-specific card designs, covers, backgrounds and animated effects.
- Bulk pricing for an office ordering many cards, arranged directly with them.
Which one should you use?
Signed Together is the better pick if you want the finished card as a printable booklet or a poster, or want it to arrive on a schedule, and $2.49 is an easy yes. CardTogether is the better pick if the card should cost nothing at all, carry no branding, and download as a PDF without an upgrade.
