The best group card websites in 2026: an honest comparison

Quick answer: The best group card website depends on your group and budget. SignThisCard suits low-cost UK cards (free for up to 15 signers, £1.99 for unlimited). Kudoboard suits big photo-heavy boards, Thankbox and GroupTogether combine a card with a gift collection, GroupGreeting suits frequent senders, and Moonpig suits a printed card.

Choosing a group card site shouldn't take longer than organising the card itself. Yet the pricing pages all look a little different: some charge per card, some per board, some by team size, and some make the card free if you collect money for a gift.

This guide compares seven popular options side by side, with prices we checked on each company's own website at the time of writing (November 2026). We make SignThisCard, so we've tried to be fair and say clearly where another site is the better fit.

What makes a good group card website?

A good group card website lets lots of people sign quickly without creating an account, keeps the card private until it's sent, and charges a clear price you can predict. Everything else is a bonus.

If you're new to the process itself, start with our step-by-step guide to making a group card online. When comparing sites, these are the criteria we think matter most:

1. Signing friction. Can colleagues sign from a link on their phone without registering?
2. Signer limits. How many messages or signers does each price allow?
3. Price clarity. Is it a one-off fee, a pack, or a subscription? Are there extra fees?
4. Gift collection. Do you need the card and the money in one place, or are you happy to use something separate?
5. Format. Book-style card, pinboard-style wall, or a printed card posted to the recipient?
6. Keepsake options. Can you print it or download a PDF?
7. Privacy. Who can open the card, and how are payments handled?

Which group card websites are worth considering?

Below is a closer look at each option: what it does well, where it's less suitable and who it's best for.

1. SignThisCard

Best for: UK teams and anyone who wants a quick, low-cost card with no signer accounts.

SignThisCard is a book-style group card. The organiser picks an occasion and cover (or uploads a photo), shares one link, and colleagues add messages with an optional drawn signature and photo. The organiser can add a library music track or a short video, and the recipient opens the card page by page.

At the time of writing, pricing is:

• Free: one card, up to 15 signers (usable once).
• Single Card: £1.99, unlimited signers, one-off payment.
• Plus: £4.99/month or £47.90/year, up to 5 cards per calendar month.
• Unlimited: £9.99/month or £95.90/year, no fixed card limit (fair use).

Where it's less suitable: SignThisCard doesn't collect money, there's no automatic scheduled sending (you get an email reminder and send it yourself), and GIFs aren't a listed feature. If you need a gift pot built in, Thankbox or GroupTogether may suit you better.

All four options are listed on the SignThisCard plans page, linked at the end of this guide.

2. Kudoboard

Best for: large, photo-heavy boards and organisations wanting a recognition subscription.

Kudoboard uses a board layout: contributors add posts to a shared wall rather than pages of a card. At the time of writing, its pricing page lists a Lite board at $6.99 (up to 20 posts), a Premium board at $9.99 (up to 100 posts) and a Milestone board at $19.99 (unlimited posts). Team subscriptions start with a Business plan at $299 a year, priced by the number of users.

Its pricing page doesn't list a $0 plan, although some of its occasion pages mention a small free board, so check what's on offer when you sign up.

Where it's less suitable: for a 30-person leaving card, the post limits mean you may need the Premium tier. Prices are shown in US dollars.

We look at cheaper options in our guide to a free alternative to Kudoboard.

3. GroupGreeting

Best for: US-based teams sending many cards a year.

GroupGreeting offers online group cards with unlimited signers, according to its own pages. At the time of writing, a single card costs around $5 (its own pages showed both $4.99 and $5.99), and annual card bundles bring the per-card price down. Its FAQ states that there's no free plan, and bundle cards must be used within 12 months.

Where it's less suitable: if you only send a card now and then, or you're paying in pounds, a lower one-off price may suit you better.

4. Thankbox

Best for: UK teams who want the card and a gift collection in one place.

Thankbox lets you set up a card for free and pay when you send it. At the time of writing, its UK pricing page lists a Classic Thankbox at £4.99 and a Premium Thankbox at £8.99 (both inc. VAT). Its built-in gift collection allows up to £400 on Classic and £1,000 on Premium, with a fee for contributors (1.1% + £0.17 for GBP contributions). Packs and a team plan are also available.

Where it's less suitable: if you don't need a collection, you're paying for features you won't use.

5. GroupTogether

Best for: groups who are definitely collecting money for a gift.

GroupTogether combines group cards with money collection. At the time of writing, its pricing page lists a card at AU$5.50, and the card becomes free when you collect at least AU$20 for a gift. Contributors pay a service fee on collections. The page also lists unlimited messages, photos and GIFs, and a PDF download, plus discounted packs.

Where it's less suitable: prices are shown in Australian dollars on the pricing page we checked, so UK buyers should confirm the final amount at checkout.

6. Canva

Best for: design-led cards where a handful of people collaborate on one layout.

Canva is a general design tool, not a group card service. You can design a card on its free plan and share an edit link so others can add text, but there's no signing flow: everyone edits the same design, and someone can accidentally move or delete another person's message. According to Canva's help centre, people opening an edit link on mobile need to log in or sign up.

Where it's less suitable: larger groups, or anyone who wants a card that opens like a real card with messages added safely. Our guide to making a group card in Canva explains the workaround in detail.

7. Moonpig group cards

Best for: a physical card that's printed and posted.

Moonpig lets you start a card, share a link, and collect messages from up to 50 people, according to its help centre. You can choose a printed card or an e-card, and set an optional deadline for messages. You pay at checkout, based on the card you choose.

Where it's less suitable: groups larger than 50, or a team that only wants a quick online card and has no need for a physical one.

How do prices compare for a typical office card?

For a one-off card, SignThisCard's £1.99 Single Card is the lowest entry price among the sites we checked; card-plus-collection sites can be free if you're also collecting money. The right answer depends on whether a gift is involved.

Three common scenarios, using prices at the time of writing:

• Small birthday card, 10 people, no gift: SignThisCard's free card covers this (up to 15 signers). Kudoboard's Lite board (up to 20 posts) is another option at $6.99.
• Leaving card, 40 people, no gift: a SignThisCard Single Card at £1.99, or a Thankbox Classic at £4.99, or a GroupGreeting single card at around $5.
• Leaving card, 40 people, with a gift collection: Thankbox or GroupTogether, where the collection is built in. With SignThisCard, you'd pair the card with a separate collection such as a bank transfer or Collection Pot.

Is there a completely free group card website?

Some sites offer a free card with limits, such as a cap on signers or messages. SignThisCard's free card allows up to 15 signers, once per account. Canva is free for design but has no signing flow.

Free tiers are fine for small teams. For larger groups, a low one-off price usually works out simpler than squeezing everyone onto a limited board. We list the free options in more detail in our guide to finding a free group card website.

Are group card websites safe to use?

Mainstream group card sites are generally safe if you share links only with the people who should sign. On most sites, including SignThisCard, anyone with the signing link can open the card.

On SignThisCard, the site uses HTTPS, reCAPTCHA v3 and email verification for organisers. Payments go through Stripe, so card details are handled by Stripe rather than stored by SignThisCard. Signers don't need an account, which means less personal data is collected from them.

Good practice on any site:

• share the signing link only in channels the recipient isn't in;
• keep the management or admin link private;
• download a PDF if you want a permanent copy.

Which site should you choose?

Pick by your main need: lowest price, gift collection, board format or printed card. In our view, most office cards don't need more than a simple, shareable card with no signer accounts.

Common mistakes when choosing a group card site

• Comparing headline prices only. Check signer or post limits and any collection fees too.
• Forgetting currency. Several sites price in US or Australian dollars.
• Choosing a site that makes signers register. It reliably reduces the number of signatures.
• Assuming the card will send itself. Not every site has scheduled sending, SignThisCard included.
• Leaving the gift until the last minute. Decide early whether you need a built-in collection.

Key takeaways

• The best group card website depends on group size, budget and whether you also need to collect money.
• SignThisCard offers one free card for up to 15 signers, and a £1.99 Single Card with unlimited signers.
• Thankbox and GroupTogether combine a group card with a gift collection; SignThisCard doesn't collect money.
• At the time of writing, Kudoboard's pricing page lists per-board prices from $6.99 with post limits by tier.
• Moonpig group cards accept up to 50 messages and can be printed and posted.
• Canva can be used for a shared design, but it has no dedicated signing workflow.

Frequently asked questions

What is the cheapest group card website?

Among the sites we checked in November 2026, SignThisCard had the lowest one-off paid price at £1.99 for unlimited signers, plus one free card for up to 15 signers. GroupTogether's card can be free if you collect at least AU$20 for a gift. Prices change, so always check the provider's site.

Is Kudoboard free?

At the time of writing, Kudoboard's pricing page doesn't list a $0 plan. Its per-board prices start at $6.99 for a Lite board with up to 20 posts. Some of its occasion pages mention a small free board, so it's worth checking what's offered when you start a board.

Which group card site lets you collect money for a gift?

Thankbox and GroupTogether both combine a group card with a built-in gift collection, with fees for contributors. SignThisCard doesn't collect money, so organisers pair it with a bank transfer, a gift-collection service such as Collection Pot, or a voucher, and share both links together.

Do signers need an account on group card websites?

It varies. On SignThisCard, signers don't need an account; anyone with the link can add a message. Only the organiser registers. With Canva, people opening an edit link on mobile need to log in or sign up, according to its help centre, which can put busy colleagues off.

Can I get a printed group card?

Yes. Moonpig can print and post a group card signed by up to 50 people. Online-first sites, including SignThisCard, let you print the card or download a PDF from a print view, though printed and PDF copies don't play music or animations.

Which group card site is best for UK offices?

In our view, a site that prices in pounds and doesn't ask signers to register suits most UK offices. SignThisCard (from £0) and Thankbox (from £4.99, with a gift collection) both show GBP prices. The best choice depends on whether you need to collect money for a present.

Can I send a group card on a schedule?

Some sites, such as Thankbox, list scheduled sending; SignThisCard doesn't. On SignThisCard, you set a planned date and an email reminder 0 to 365 days beforehand, then seal the card and send the finished link or email it to the recipient yourself on the day.

Conclusion

There isn't one best group card website for everyone. If you need a gift pot, Thankbox or GroupTogether make sense. If you want a big photo board, Kudoboard does that well. For a printed card, Moonpig is the obvious choice.

If you want a clear, low-cost card that anyone can sign from a link, SignThisCard is a strong option: one free card for up to 15 signers and £1.99 for unlimited signers. Compare SignThisCard plans and choose the one that fits your team.
