# Paperless Post vs Invitation Maker Card Creator

Paperless Post and Invitation Maker Card Creator both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Invitation Maker Card Creator's written reviews are positive against 34% of Paperless Post's. Paperless Post's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
