MyBirthday
An AI card generator and MyBirthdayCards, side by side
| An AI card generator | MyBirthdayCards | |
|---|---|---|
| How it is made | You describe the card in a prompt and a model generates a picture, a text, or both. | You pick one of the games and type their name, their age and your message. Nothing is generated. |
| Their name | Written by the model, as part of what it generates. | Written as text into the game and on the cake, letter for letter as you typed it, accents included (some games set it in capitals). |
| The message | Can be written for you. | Yours. Suggestions are there if you want a start, and you can change every word. |
| What they receive | Usually an image to print, download or share. | A link that opens a game of about twenty seconds they cannot lose, then a celebration and your message. |
| Price | Varies by tool. | Free to make and preview. 2.60 € in the euro zone, £2.20 in the United Kingdom and $2.90 everywhere else per card sent, paid once. No subscription, no credits, no ads. |

Why the name matters
A birthday card is about one person. On MyBirthdayCards the name is never drawn or guessed: it is the text you typed, placed in the game's title, in the game itself and on the cake at the end, next to their age. What you see in the preview is exactly what they get.
When an AI generator is the better choice
- You want a one-off picture in a style you describe, to print or post.
- You want a long poem or a text written for you.
When MyBirthdayCards fits better
- You want their name right, every letter, without checking a generated image.
- You want a card they play, sent as a link, ready in a minute.
Questions
Does MyBirthdayCards use AI to write the name?
No. The name is the text you type, written into the game as it is, with its accents. Nothing about it is generated.
Can it write the message for me?
It suggests a few ready messages, which you can switch with one tap and edit freely. The final words are yours.
How long does it take?
About a minute: pick a game, type their name, age and message, and send the link.
How much does it cost?
Making and previewing are free. Sending costs 2.60 € in the euro zone, £2.20 in the United Kingdom and $2.90 everywhere else, once per card.
