The 5 Best Online Group Card Websites in 2026: For Leaving, Birthdays, Weddings, Anniversaries and Congratulations

Updated October 2026. Prices are each company’s own published US dollar prices at the time of writing. We make Thankeeu, so we have been careful to describe every other tool accurately and fairly, and to say plainly where each one is a good fit.

An online group card solves a very old problem. Someone is leaving, turning forty, getting married or hitting ten years at the company, and you want everyone who cares about them on one card. A paper card only reaches the people who happen to be at their desks that afternoon. A group chat full of separate messages disappears by the weekend. An online group card gives everyone one link, gathers every message in one place, and lands on the day.

There are now dozens of tools that do some version of this. We tested the five that come up most often when people search for a group card, and compared them on what actually matters: price per card, how easy it is for people to sign, what they can add (text, photos, video, voice), whether you can collect money for a gift, and what the person receiving the card is left with afterwards.

The short answer

1. Thankeeu: the best all round group card in 2026. Lowest price for a full featured card (from $3.99), voice notes and video on every card, a real cash gift pot, a Memory Movie made from every message, and credits that never expire.
2. Kudoboard: a strong choice for large companies that want an enterprise recognition platform with single sign on and HR integrations.
3. Thankbox: a polished, popular option in the UK, with a well known money collection feature.
4. GroupGreeting: simple, ad free cards with good value bulk packs and gift cards from hundreds of merchants.
5. SendWishOnline: the cheapest paid option and a genuine free tier, good for quick, simple cards.

Comparison table

“Not listed” means we could not find the feature on the company’s own pricing or help pages. It does not always mean the feature is impossible, so check their site if it matters to you.

1. Thankeeu: best overall, and best for every occasion on this list

Thankeeu is built around one idea: the card should hold everything the group wants to say, in whatever form they want to say it, and the person receiving it should end up with something they keep. You pick a cover, add the recipient’s name and share one link by WhatsApp, Slack, Teams, email or text. Anyone with the link can sign from a phone or laptop without an account or an app.

What makes it the best

• The lowest price for a complete card. Making the card and collecting messages is free. You pay once when you send it: $3.99 for one card, $5.99 for two, or $29.95 for a pack of five. There is no subscription, no charge per signer and no cap on messages. Credits never expire, which matters for teams that buy a pack in January and use the last card in December.
• Voice notes and video on every card. On most rival tools, video sits on a higher tier and voice notes are either missing or premium only. On Thankeeu they come with every card. Hearing a grandparent’s voice on an anniversary card, or the colleague who trained you saying goodbye, lands differently from reading it.
• A real group gift, not just a gift card. Signers can chip in any amount by card as they sign. The total builds on the card, and the recipient claims it to their bank account or as a digital gift card. Contributions are paid in pounds, euros, Canadian dollars or US dollars depending on where people are, and fees are shown before anyone pays.
• A Memory Movie made automatically. Every card is turned into a short film with music from the messages, photos and voice notes. It is the part recipients tend to share with their family.
• A live photo wall for events. At a leaving do, wedding or anniversary party, guests scan a QR code and their photos appear on a screen in the room. Nobody has to install anything.
• Delivered to the minute, in their time zone. Schedule it for 4pm on someone’s last day in London, or for 8am on a birthday in Vancouver. Private messages, replies from the recipient to each signer and a PDF download are all included.
• More than 650 illustrated covers. Leaving, birthday, wedding, anniversary, congratulations, baby shower, thank you, retirement and more. The card opens as a book with pages that turn.

Where it could be better

The Thankeeu app itself is in English, although signers can write in any language. Large enterprises that need a dedicated recognition platform with single sign on may also want to talk to the Thankeeu for Teams team about company workspaces, or look at Kudoboard below.

Price

Free to create. $3.99 per card, $2.52 per card in packs. See full pricing.

2. Kudoboard: best for large corporate recognition programmes

Kudoboard is one of the best known names in the category, particularly in the United States. Messages appear as posts on a board, which suits workplace recognition well, and the company has invested heavily in enterprise features for big HR teams.

• Strengths: a mature business offering with annual plans for companies, gift cards that can be attached to a board, slideshow playback on the Milestone board and video posts from the Premium board up.
• Limits: the $6.99 Lite board is capped at 20 posts, which a whole department quickly outgrows. Unlimited posts need the $19.99 Milestone board. Voice notes are not listed on its pricing page, and the gift is a gift card rather than cash the recipient can spend anywhere.
• Price: $6.99 Lite, $9.99 Premium, $19.99 Milestone per board, or about $7.00 a board on the five board plan.

3. Thankbox: a popular UK choice with a familiar money collection

Thankbox is widely used in British offices for leaving cards and collections. It is clean, easy to use and its money collection is well known.

• Strengths: free to start and pay when sending, unlimited messages on both tiers, scheduled sending, and a cash collection with low fees on pounds.
• Limits: video, voice notes, slideshow and uploading your own design need the $9.99 Premium Thankbox. Each contribution carries a fee (1.1% plus 17p in GBP, higher in euros and dollars according to its pricing page), and the Classic collection is capped at $400.
• Price: $5.99 Classic, $9.99 Premium, with packs of up to 100 cards.

4. GroupGreeting: simple cards and good bulk value

GroupGreeting keeps things straightforward: unlimited signatures, unlimited pages, photos, GIFs and stickers, no adverts, and a PDF copy for the recipient. Bulk packs bring the price down for teams that send a lot of cards.

• Strengths: clear pricing, prices in several currencies, gift cards from more than 350 merchants, and good value at volume, down to $3.99 a card in the 100 card pack.
• Limits: video, voice notes and a keepsake video are not mentioned on its pricing page, the gift is a merchant gift card rather than a cash pot, and pack credits expire after 12 months.
• Price: $5.99 a card, or packs from $54 for ten.

5. SendWishOnline: the budget pick

SendWishOnline is the cheapest paid option on this list and one of the few with a real free tier. For a quick card where nobody needs video, voice or a gift, it does the job well.

• Strengths: free cards, a $2.99 premium card, very cheap bulk packs, and bulk sending from a spreadsheet for HR teams.
• Limits: the free version shows adverts, slideshow and PDF need premium, signers can only edit their message during their browser session, and the card stays online for one year after delivery. A gift collection is not listed.
• Price: free, or $2.99 per premium card, with packs down to $0.75 a card.

The best online group card for each occasion

Best for leaving and farewell cards: Thankeeu

Leaving cards need two things to go right: everyone has to be able to sign, including people working from home and colleagues who already left, and the money for a leaving present has to be collected without an envelope going round. Thankeeu handles both on one link, with a cash gift the person leaving can spend however they like, voice notes from the people who trained them, and a Memory Movie they can watch on their last evening. If you are in the UK, Thankbox is a good runner up. See online leaving cards and our farewell cards for UK offices, US teams and Canada.

Best for birthdays: Thankeeu

Birthdays happen every week in a team of fifty, so price per card matters. At $2.52 a card in a pack, with credits that never expire, Thankeeu is the cheapest way to give every person a full card with photos, GIFs, voice notes and video. Scheduling to the minute means the card can arrive at 8am in their own time zone. SendWishOnline is a fair budget alternative for very simple cards. See birthday group cards, US, UK and Australia.

Best for weddings: Thankeeu

Weddings bring together guests who may never meet again, from three generations and often several countries. Thankeeu lets them all sign one card for the couple, chip in to a cash gift, and share photos live on a screen at the reception through the Live Memory Wall. Afterwards the couple keep a Memory Movie of the whole day’s wishes. None of the other four lists a live photo wall. See wedding group cards.

Best for anniversaries: Thankeeu

For a golden or ruby wedding anniversary, the voices matter as much as the words. Grandchildren can record a voice note, old friends can add photos from decades ago, and the family can pool a gift. For work anniversaries, Thankeeu for Teams can send the card automatically on each person’s date. Kudoboard is a solid runner up for companies already running a large recognition programme. See anniversary cards and work anniversary cards.

Best for congratulations: Thankeeu

Promotions, new jobs, exams, a new home: congratulations cards are often organised in a hurry. Thankeeu takes about a minute to set up, signers need no account, and the card can go out the same afternoon. GroupGreeting is a good simple alternative if you send many congratulations cards and only need text and photos.

How we compared them

We used each company’s own published pricing and feature pages in October 2026, in US dollars, and checked what is included at the cheapest price rather than the most expensive tier. We weighted the things that make the biggest difference to the person receiving the card: whether everyone can sign easily, whether their voices and faces can be included, whether the group can give a gift together, and what they keep afterwards.
