Prices can change: their pages have the current figures. We do not quote a price we could not read on the site itself.
What differs from Blue Mountain
Blue Mountain has interactive birthday ecards and games, so a game in a card is not new. What MyBirthdayCards does differently: every card is a birthday card, the game is drawn for a birthday and always ends on the cake, their first name and age are written into the game exactly as you type them, and you pay for the card you send rather than for a membership. We could not open Blue Mountain's cards from here, so we do not say how theirs use the name.
When to stay on Blue Mountain
- You send cards for many occasions, not only birthdays: a large catalogue on one membership pays off.
- You like its quizzes and interactive cards for holidays and other days of the year.
- You want its SmashUps and Creatacards, named on its app's store page.
When MyBirthdayCards fits better
- You send a birthday card now and then and do not want a membership or a trial to remember to cancel: 2.60 € in the euro zone, £2.20 in the United Kingdom, CHF 2.40 in Switzerland and $2.90 everywhere else per card.
- You want their name and age in the game itself, and a game that cannot be lost.
- They open it from a link on any phone or computer, with no app and no account, and you are told when they do.
