How to Save with Simply Noted Credits

 

There are two ways to pay for Simply Noted handwritten cards, and both get cheaper per card as you send more: pay-as-you-go credits and the Unlimited plan. This guide shows what each costs today, how a small business saves with credits, and when Unlimited is the better deal. Prices are from our plans page as of October 2026.

HOW VOLUME PRICING USUALLY WORKS

Most volume discounts reward one big order: the more you buy at once, the less you pay per unit. That works for large companies that mail thousands of pieces in a single campaign. It doesn’t help a business that sends a steady 50 or 100 cards a month, because no single order is big enough to reach the discount.

Simply Noted credits fix that. You buy a package of credits once, at that package’s per-card price, then spend them across as many separate orders as you like. One credit covers one full send, postage included. Credits expire after 12 months, so choose a package you’ll use within a year.

SIMPLY NOTED CREDITS LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD

Take a hypothetical small business, Kerns Consulting, that sends about 100 client thank you notes a month.

If Kerns buys 100 credits at a time, each folded note card costs $2.80 plus $0.82 postage, or $3.62 per card sent. That’s $362 a month.

If Kerns buys 1,000 credits once, each card costs $1.99 plus $0.82 postage, or $2.81 per card sent. The $2,810 package covers 10 months of thank you notes, inside the 12-month window. Kerns still sends 100 cards a month and pays $810 less over those 10 months, about 22%.

That’s the point of credits: a business that sends 100 cards at a time still gets the price of a 1,000-card order.

HOW TO BUY SIMPLY NOTED CREDITS

Go to the Simply Noted plans page, scroll to “Prefer to pay as you go?”, pick a package and click “Buy Credits.” Current prices for folded note cards. Each package total includes postage ($0.82 per card), so one credit is one full send:

  • 100 credits: $2.80 per card ($362.00 total with postage)
  • 500 credits: $2.39 per card ($1,605.00)
  • 1,000 credits: $1.99 per card ($2,810.00), the most popular package
  • 5,000 credits: $1.59 per card ($12,050.00)
  • 10,000 credits: $1.25 per card ($20,700.00)
  • 25,000 credits: $1.05 per card ($46,750.00)
  • 50,000 credits: $0.90 per card ($86,000.00)

Handwritten postcards cost $0.15 less per credit at every tier. For more than 50,000 credits, email support@simplynoted.com for custom pricing.

WHEN THE UNLIMITED PLAN SAVES MORE

If you send cards every month, compare credits with the Unlimited plan. Unlimited is $497 a month flat, then $0.99 per note card or $0.84 per postcard, plus postage. It includes every integration (CRM, API, Zapier, Shopify and webhooks), USPS mail tracking, and a trackable QR code on every card.

Postage is the same either way, so compare the card prices. Against 1,000-credit packages at $1.99 per card, Unlimited costs less once you send about 500 notes a month (500 × $1.99 = $995, versus $497 + 500 × $0.99 = $992). Each note above that saves another $1.00, and you pay month to month instead of prepaying for cards you’ll send later.

The short version: sending every month, go Unlimited; sending occasionally, buy credits as you go.
