The real difference: coins vs one-time

Paperless Post uses a coin model — you buy coins and each send spends them, with premium designs and add-ons costing more. The exact total for a wedding depends on your guest count, the designs you pick, and how many sends you do (save the date, invitation, reminders). It is a usage-based cost, so it is hard to know the final number up front.

Pressed Love is a single one-time payment: €79 for Starter (published invitation, no RSVP), €175 for Essential (the wedding default, with RSVP and guest management), or €575 for Premium (planner, seating chart, custom music). One payment, lifetime access, and the price is known before you start. See the full pricing page.

Delivery beyond email

A note on accuracy: Paperless Post is not email-only. It sends by email, by direct SMS to US and Canadian mobile numbers, and via a shareable link you can paste into WhatsApp or any messaging app.

Where Pressed Love differs is how WhatsApp is handled: instead of one generic link, each guest gets a personal link and a pre-written WhatsApp message you send in two taps. The guest opens it, sees their name in the hero, and RSVPs without an account. If WhatsApp is central to how you will invite guests, that per-guest flow is the practical advantage — but Paperless Post can still reach WhatsApp via its shareable link.

Multi-language

For international or destination weddings, language coverage matters. Pressed Love renders every invitation in 28 languages, each guest seeing the content in their device language by default. Paperless Post is primarily an English-language product. For intercultural and destination weddings this is the largest practical difference between the two.

When Paperless Post is the better choice

1. You want its catalog or a brand collaboration. Paperless Post has a much larger catalog, including designs from well-known brands. If a specific Paperless Post design is the one, that exact design is not on Pressed Love.
2. You are sending non-wedding invitations. Paperless Post covers birthdays, showers, holidays and corporate events. Pressed Love focuses exclusively on weddings.
3. You already have a Paperless Post account with coins. If your list is largely on email and you already hold credits, the switching cost may not be worth it.
