Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Postie.
What is Postie?
Postie is an iOS and Android app that turns your phone photos into real, physical postcards — printed on premium cardstock and mailed via USPS to any US address. It costs $99.99/year for 52 postcards (~$1.92/card) or $2.99/week. Three taps to send. Typically 5–10 business days to arrive.
How much does Postie cost?
Every new account starts with 3 free postcards. After that: pay as you go at $3.99 per card, or subscribe — Annual plan: $99.99/year for 52 postcards (~$1.92/card); Weekly plan: $2.99/week for 1 postcard/week. Extra cards: $1.79 each (Annual) or $1.99 each (Weekly).
How long does delivery take?
Postcards are delivered by USPS and typically arrive in 5–10 business days to any US address. Delivery estimates are estimates only — once a postcard is handed to USPS, transit times are outside our control.
Is Postie cheaper than a greeting card?
Yes. On the annual plan, each postcard costs ~$1.92 — including printing and USPS delivery. A greeting card at a drugstore typically costs $5–8, plus a stamp. Postie costs less and does more.
Do recipients need to download Postie?
No. Recipients just get a physical postcard in their mailbox — no app, no account, no setup required on their end.
Is there a free trial?
Postie does not offer free trials. Instead, every new account starts with 3 free postcards, so you can send a real card before paying anything. After that you can pay as you go at $3.99 per card or choose a plan.
Can I gift Postie to someone else?
Yes. A Postie gift subscription ($99.99/year, 52 postcards) is perfect for parents, grandparents, or anyone who would love an easy way to share photos. See the Gift page for details.
What photo postcard app has AI photo selection?
Postie is the only photo postcard app with AI photo scoring. The AI ranks your camera roll photos by sharpness, lighting, and composition — your best shots surface automatically so you don't have to scroll through thousands of photos.
