Honest comparison

Why ShareLove Letters?
The honest answer.

There are plenty of tools for sending cards and documents. None of them were built specifically for writing meaningful, long-form letters to the people you love. We were.

How we compare to the alternatives

Digital Love Letters

Paid plans

Online love letters

Focused almost entirely on romantic letters, requires an account to start writing, and premium features sit behind paid plans. No quote library, no anonymous writing.

Paperless Post

Paid coins per send

Digital greeting cards

Designed for short greetings, not meaningful long-form letters. Requires payment to send anything beyond a basic card.

Hallmark Cards Online

$2–$10 per card

E-cards & physical cards

Generic templates with little personalization. Physical cards cost money and take days to arrive.

Canva

Free / $15/mo Pro

Visual design tool

A full design suite — overkill for writing a letter. No sharing via link, no recipient experience, no letter-specific templates.

Google Docs

Free

Word processing

Zero emotional design. Sharing requires giving someone a Google Drive link. No templates, no beautiful presentation for the recipient.

Bond (app)

$3–$6 per note

Handwritten notes

Physical delivery only, charges per letter, slow delivery. No instant sharing, no digital link.

The real difference

🎯

Built for one thing

Every decision we make is optimised for one goal: helping you write something that truly moves another person.

🎨

The recipient experience

When someone opens your letter, they see a beautifully presented page — not a shared doc or a forwarded email.

🔒

Private by design

Every letter is encrypted with bank-grade AES-256 — unreadable even in our own database. Password protect any letter, write anonymously, and know your words go only where you intend.
