A Thankbox alternative where every card can carry a voice

Thankbox is a well made group card, popular for leaving cards in British offices and used by plenty of teams in the US and Canada too. Thankeeu works the same simple way, one link that everyone signs, and puts voice notes on every card rather than only the top plan, with a gift pot built into the card itself.

Quick answer

The closest Thankbox alternative is Thankeeu: a group card that any number of coworkers sign from one link, with voice notes, photos and GIFs included on the cheapest card. Thankbox lists voice notes with Premium, Packs and its Team plan on its pricing page in October 2026. Thankeeu also schedules delivery to the minute in the recipient’s time zone.

Why people start looking beyond Thankbox

The most common reason we hear is audio. Someone wants the coworker who moved to Austin, or the grandmother of the bride, to say a few words in their own voice, and finds that voice notes sit on the higher Thankbox plan. On Thankeeu the Classic card already takes voice notes next to written messages, photos and GIFs, so the organizer does not have to upgrade to let people speak.

The second reason is the money. Thankbox lists a $400 gift limit on Classic and $1,000 on Premium. A large office farewell, or a retirement where former clients chip in, can pass those numbers. Thankeeu has a gift pot on every card, paid by card from any country, and the recipient takes it to their bank or turns it into a gift card.

The third reason is timing. A card that lands at the right minute feels planned. Thankeeu lets you set the exact delivery time in the recipient’s own time zone, which matters for teams spread between Toronto, Chicago and Los Angeles.

What is the same on both

We want to be fair about this. Both services let you start a card for free and only pay when you send it. Both let people sign without an account. Both take unlimited messages, photos and GIFs, and both offer packs for teams that send a lot of cards. If a simple written card is all you need, either one will do the job well.

The difference shows up when you want more than text: voices, video, a film made from the messages, or a bigger collection. That is where the plans start to diverge, and where the rest of this page focuses.

What each Thankeeu plan includes

Thankeeu charges once per card with no subscription. The prices beside the comparison table are live, so they always match checkout in your currency.

Leaving cards, retirements and birthdays at work

Leaving cards are where most teams first use Thankbox, and they are where Thankeeu feels most different. When someone leaves after years in the same office, people from several teams want to sign, a few want to tell a long story, and somebody always wants to record a message because they are better at talking than writing. Every Thankeeu card has room for all of it. Our online leaving card page has message ideas you can copy.

Retirements bring in people who left the company years ago. Because the link works for anyone who has it, a former manager in another state can sign beside the current team. On a Most Popular card, the messages, photos and voice notes become a short Memory Movie with music after delivery, which retirees tend to watch more than once.

Birthdays are lighter but more frequent, which is where a Pack helps. Buy several Most Popular cards at once and use a credit each time a birthday comes up, without paying again at checkout.

For HR teams that send cards every week

Thankbox has a Team plan with several creators and automations. Thankeeu offers Thankeeu for Teams, which imports staff from HR systems such as BambooHR, Rippling and Gusto, creates birthday and work anniversary cards on its own, and gives the company its own workspace. If you only send a handful of cards each quarter, a Pack shared between managers is usually enough.

Where Thankbox is still a sensible pick

Thankbox shows gift collection fees clearly on its pricing page and its cards look polished. If your team only ever writes short messages and the collection is small, you may not feel the plan limits at all. If you want voices on every card, video, a film at the end, and a gift pot that grows with a big send off, Thankeeu is built for that.

Moving from Thankbox takes a few minutes

  1. Choose a cover: Pick from more than 500 designs or upload your own photo, then add the coworker’s name to the front.
  2. Send the link: Share it in Slack, Teams, email or a group text. Signers need no account and no app.
  3. Let people speak: Coworkers write, add photos and GIFs, record a voice note, and chip in to the gift if you turned it on.
  4. Pick the moment: Set the delivery minute in the recipient’s time zone, or share the link yourself at the farewell lunch.
