American Greetings Ecards AlternativeA catalog of ecards, or a card that sounds like you?
American Greetings Ecards gives members a big library of animated, personalizable ecards. Thoughtful starts from the person: their dates, your history with them, and a message written in your voice.
Competitor features and prices checked November 2026 from their own sites and App Store listings. They change, so check before you buy.
How they're different
American Greetings is catalog-first: pick one of 1,000+ designed ecards and add a line. Thoughtful is person-first: it reminds you the moment is coming, remembers what you gave last time, and drafts the whole message so it reads like you wrote it.
Thoughtful is for you if…
You care most about the words. You want reminders before birthdays and anniversaries and a personal draft you can edit and share as a digital card.
American Greetings Ecards is for you if…
You love animated, professionally designed ecards with music and want a big catalog for every holiday.
