Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Postie.
What is Postie?
The Postie app turns your phone photos into real Posties — a Postie is a real 4×6 photo postcard, printed on premium cardstock and mailed via USPS First-Class Mail to any US address. It costs $99/year for 52 Posties (~$1.90 a Postie) or $2.99/week. Three taps to send. Typically 5–10 business days to arrive.
How much does Postie cost?
Your first 3 Posties are free. If you claim them in the app, you have 1 hour to send them. Any you haven't sent by then expire. After that: pay as you go at $3.99 a Postie, or subscribe — Annual plan: $99/year for 52 Posties (~$1.90 a Postie); Weekly plan: $2.99/week for 1 Postie/week.

How long does delivery take?

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?
