# Paperless Post vs Greenvelope

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.

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.

Paperless Post ships an update fortnightly, Greenvelope every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
