Lifetime: 60 cards a month — unused cards save up, up to 99 — one payment of $499

Up to 15 people. 60 cards are added on the day you buy and on the same day every month; unused cards save up to 99, so you can send up to 99 in one day. Sending all 60 every month is 720 cards a year (7,200 over 10 years), against 20 a year with Family. Over 10 years Family payments total $699.90; Lifetime stays $499. Lifetime costs less than Family after about 7.1 years, ignoring price changes.

• After 5 years, 300 cards bought one at a time would cost $1,197.00 at the $3.99 Classic price, or $2,997.00 at the $9.99 Signature price. Lifetime is $499 once.

These are totals at today’s single-card prices ($3.99 Classic, $9.99 Signature), if you sent that many cards a month; they are not savings anyone is promised. You may well send far fewer than 60 a month, and unused Lifetime cards stop saving up at 99.

Ecard pricing questions

How much does CinematicCard cost?

Your first CinematicCard is free. After that, a single card is a one-time $3.99 (Classic), $6.99 with your own photos or your own song or voice, and $9.99 with both, or as a Signature card with a cash gift. Scheduled delivery is $1.00 extra. Family plans are $69.99, $99.99 or $129 a year, and Lifetime is a one-time payment of $499.

Is the first card free?

Yes. Your first CinematicCard is free: one complete single card, for an email address you confirm, once. It does not apply to bulk sends or event invitations, and the cards after it are paid. Previewing a card is always free.

What’s included in Family?

CinematicCard Family is $69.99 a year for up to 5 people and 20 cards a year, with a reminder before each of their occasions. Every plan card is the full card: up to 20 photos, your own song or voice, and scheduled delivery included. Family Plus is $99.99 a year (10 people, 30 cards + 1 bonus card a year) and Extended Family is $129 a year (15 people, 40 cards + 2 bonus cards a year). The plan is billed once a year, not per card, and unused cards do not carry over to the next plan year. Plans have a 14-day money-back guarantee: within 14 days of buying, you get back what you paid less $3.99 for each plan card already sent (see /refunds).

What is Lifetime?

CinematicCard Lifetime is one payment of $499 for up to 15 people and 60 cards a month — unused cards save up, up to 99, with reminders. There is no yearly fee and no end date.

How do Lifetime’s 60 cards a month work?

60 cards are added on the day you buy Lifetime and again on the same day every month (on the last day of a shorter month). Cards you do not use save up, to a maximum of 99, so you can send up to 99 cards in one day. A card counts on the day it is sent (US Eastern time). Sending all 60 every month would be 720 cards a year; you never have to use them all.

Is there a subscription?

No subscription is required. Single cards are one-time purchases, and you only pay when you send. Family plans are optional yearly subscriptions you can cancel any time. Lifetime is a single payment that never renews.
