Silly Robot Cards, operated by Gleeboard Ltd, makes personalized greeting cards with AI: you upload photos, names and details, the service generates a design, including face-swap scenes that put the recipient into a humorous picture, and the card is either printed and posted or sent as a digital eCard. There is no subscription. As of September 2026 the USD store charges $4.99 for a single card, up from $3.99 on September 1, with US-only offers of 2 cards for $8 and 3 cards for $12, a 10-pack for $24.99, a 25-pack for $45.99, a 50-pack for $85 and a 100-pack for $145, plus US shipping at $4.99 standard, $10.36 expedited or $20.20 express. UK and EU prices were not changed, and the site offers 20 percent off for setting three birthday reminders.
The September 2026 price rise is the immediate prompt. A single printed card in the US now costs $4.99 plus at least $4.99 in standard shipping, so one card through the post is close to $10 before any express delivery, and the multi-packs rose too, with the 10-pack going from $20 to $24.99 and the 25-pack from $40 to $45.99. People searching for reviews are usually trying to work out whether that is worth it against making a card themselves, and the honest answer depends on whether you value the face-swap novelty and the print-and-post service or just want a good-looking personalized card.
The second reason is control. Silly Robot Cards produces a finished design from your inputs, which is quick but leaves little room to adjust layout, text and fonts, and the printed product only ships from the vendor's own print service. The alternatives below range from free AI card generators with editable designs, to general design tools with card templates and print options, to image generators and assistants that produce the artwork for you to print anywhere.
Built from each tool's listing. Vendors can update their own listing after claiming it.
Best for: People who want a free AI-generated card or invitation they can fully edit before sharing.
Greetings Island's AI generator produces invitations and greeting cards from a description of the event and recipient, and the output is an editable design rather than a flat image, so you can change text, fonts, colors and stickers in the editor. The vendor says generating an AI invitation is free, and its Magic wish feature composes the message for greeting cards. Premium adds extra generating credits, the option to download or share your design, exclusive designs, watermark removal and advanced editing tools; the Premium page does not display a price, so check the vendor's pricing page. Compared with Silly Robot Cards it trades the face-swap gimmick for editability and a free tier.
Best for: Anyone who wants card templates, AI image generation and printing in one general design tool.
Canva covers cards as one of many design types, with templates, a drag-and-drop editor and Magic Studio AI tools including text-to-image, so you can build a personalized card around a generated or uploaded photo and either download it or order prints. The Free plan includes the editor, 1 brand kit, 5 GB of storage and up to 20 AI uses; Pro is US$144 per year with AI resize, translate and background removal, 100 GB of storage and ten times the AI usage; Business is US$250 per person per year with team tools, 500 GB of storage, twenty times the AI usage and a 10 percent print discount. There is no per-card charge for digital cards, which is the main saving over Silly Robot Cards.
Best for: Subscribers who want the artwork and a personalized message generated in one conversation.
ChatGPT generates and edits images from a description and can draft the message inside the card, so a birthday scene featuring a description of the recipient and a matching verse can come out of a single chat and be printed at home or through any print shop. OpenAI's pricing docs list Free, Go at $8 per month, Plus at $20 per month, Pro from $100 per month with five or twenty times the Plus limits, and Business at $20 per user per month billed annually. Image generation counts against the plan's usage limits rather than a per-card fee, so for anyone already subscribed the marginal cost of a card is zero, though there is no printing or postal service.
Best for: Mobile users who want to edit the recipient's photo into a card with AI tools and templates.
Picsart is a photo and video editing app with templates, an AI image generator and a set of creative AI agents, and it is well suited to the photo-manipulation side of a Silly Robot card, such as placing a person or pet into a scene, without the finished-product constraint. The pricing page lists Pro at $11.66 per month billed yearly with all photo and video editing features, unlimited image generations on its Flex.2 Klein model, more than 15 creative AI agents, stock photos, templates and 100 GB of cloud storage, and Ultra at $53.75 per month billed yearly per seat with more than 140 AI models and 300 GB of storage. Monthly billing is offered at a higher rate; check the vendor's pricing page for that figure.
Best for: People who want an AI image generator with a free tier and commercial use rights for printing cards.
Playground is an AI image generation platform for creating, editing and designing images across several models. The Free plan allows up to 10 images every 3 hours, 3 monthly generations on its premium models, 2 downloads a day and commercial use rights; Pro is $15 per month, or $12 per month billed annually, for up to 75 images every 3 hours, 150 monthly credits, premium templates, editing up to 2K resolution and unlimited downloads; Pro Plus is $45 per month, or $36 annually, for unlimited generations, 1,000 credits, unlimited upscaling and background removal, 4K editing and API access. It produces the picture, not the printed card, so pair it with a print shop or Canva for layout.
Best for: People who mainly want a personalized wish and matching artwork to send digitally.
Wishes AI generates personalized wishes and custom artwork for an occasion: you describe the recipient and the event, pick from AI-generated images in one of 10 styles, and share the result, with support for 38 languages. The site offers a free trial and refers to a pricing section, but it does not display plan names or prices on its homepage, so check the vendor's pricing page before relying on it. It is closest to Silly Robot Cards' eCard option and has no printing or postal service.
If you want a personalized card without paying per card, Greetings Island's free AI generator gives you an editable design and Canva Free adds templates and AI images with optional print ordering. Subscribers to ChatGPT already have image and message generation included. Picsart and Playground are the picks when the photo manipulation or artwork matters most, and Wishes AI suits digital-only greetings. Silly Robot Cards remains the simplest choice if you specifically want the face-swap humor printed and posted for you and are happy with $4.99 per card plus shipping.
