Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Paperless Post at 4.8 against Greenvelope's 3.9. Paperless Post also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (126K vs 70). Greenvelope's advantage is review sentiment (57% vs 34%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Paperless Post sells 14 one-off in-app purchases and Greenvelope sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Paperless Post holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Paperless Post has 126K ratings behind it against 70, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of Paperless Post's written reviews are positive against 57% of Greenvelope's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Paperless Post ships an update fortnightly, Greenvelope every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
