There is no monthly platform fee, so you pay per piece and nothing else.

• Every Door Direct Mail runs about $0.45 per piece.
• Oppizi also covers shared mail, inserts, and flyering, and it works globally rather than only in the United States.
• Its platform adds an AI Copilot, creative scoring, and live dashboards, so small teams can judge which creative works without a separate analytics too

PebblePost pioneered programmatic direct mail, which means it watches for online intent signals such as a website visit or an abandoned cart, then sends a physical mail piece matched to that intent. It is mainly a data and targeting platform: direct mail only, US only, with creative and multi channel execution left to others. PebblePost publishes no pricing and sells through custom enterprise deals, so there is no self serve tier and no published per piece rate to budget against.

• Third party comparisons put typical minimum media spend near $10,000 a month, which puts PebblePost out of reach for small senders.
• Its own blog reports that postcards remain in the home for an average of 17 days, earning multiple impressions over time.
