Pricing (2026)

✓ Pricing re-verified 22 Sep 2026

(2026) Postage is included in every per-piece rate. Three PURCHASABLE tiers: Starter is free and pay-as-you-go; Premium is $399/month billed annually or $449 month-to-month; Enterprise is custom-priced. On Starter, postcards are $0.76 (4x6), $0.79 (6x9), $0.85 (6x11) and $1.15 (11x18 tri-fold), and handwritten pieces are $1.56 (handwritten envelope with printed letter), $1.66 (handwritten postcard), $2.86 (card and envelope) and $3.11 (bi-fold card and envelope).

Premium's card shows $0.54-$0.88 for postcards and $0.85-$1.71 for handwritten, Enterprise's $0.56-$0.88 and $0.81-$1.52 - but both are labelled 'as low as with spend commitment', so those floors need volume as well as the subscription. Handwritten insert media (a card with no envelope, shipped inside a package rather than mailed) is listed from $0.49 and is not offered on Starter. New accounts get $30 in free credit.

FOURTH TIER, NOT PURCHASABLE FROM THIS PAGE (first recorded 22 Sep 2026): every comparison header reads 'Starter | Core | Premium | Enterprise', and Core carries a full rate column of its own - $0.61 (4x6), $0.68 (6x9), $0.75 (6x11), $0.98 (tri-fold), and handwritten $1.22 / $1.26 / $2.05 / $2.30, taken from the page's own core-*-m data attributes - while the price row above it holds only three cells (FREE, $449/$399, Custom Pricing).

Core has no card, no button and no monthly fee anywhere on the page. VENDOR SELF-CONTRADICTION in the 'as low as' summaries: the Starter card sums its list up as 'Printed: $0.73 / Handwritten: $2.83' at the top of the page and as 'Printed: $0.76 / Handwritten: $2.86' lower down, while the list itself never goes below $0.76 / $2.86; the Enterprise column does the same ($0.53 / $1.24 against its own floor of $0.56 / $1.27).

Only Premium's summary ($0.54 / $1.46) matches its rate list. Add-on rows publish two numbers and then 'Custom' without labelling which tier each column is: LeadReveal $0.50 and $0.25 per card, double-sided printing $0.12 and $0.07, NCOA address verification $0.03 and $0.025, data enrichment $0.20 and $0.12, custom mailing-list contacts $0.20 and $0.12. Also on the page: special discounts for 501(c)(3) organisations (separate nonprofit pricing page); a 'Powered by LettrLabs' white-label track for resellers and agencies at custom partner pricing, described as everything in Enterprise plus client sub-accounts and reseller billing; storm-triggered mailing powered by HailTrace, absent on Starter; and two Enterprise-column features still marked 'Coming Soon!' - A/B testing and third-party attribution via SearchLight. Plans change — always verify the live price on their site.

LettrLabs’s pricing page, as we read it

What LettrLabs does

Automated direct-mail marketing: design, personalise and send physical mailers — handwritten letters, postcards — at scale, synced with your digital campaigns and tracked for ROI.

What buyers report about LettrLabs

Recurring themes from the buyer-review sites listed at the foot of this page, read in August 2026. We have not run LettrLabs ourselves, so this is other buyers' experience rather than ours. We summarise it here because the complaints are usually the part a vendor page leaves out.

The cheapest number on the page is not a mailed piece

LettrLabs publishes a full rate card now, and postage is included in every figure on it, so the per-piece cost is readable rather than quoted (price re-verified 2026-08-31 against the vendor's own pricing page). Starter is free and pay-as-you-go. On it, postcards are $0.76 for 4x6, $0.79 for 6x9, $0.85 for 6x11 and $1.15 for the 11x18 tri-fold. The handwritten pieces — the reason most people come here — are $1.56 for a handwritten envelope with a printed letter, $1.66 for a handwritten postcard, $2.86 for a card and envelope and $3.11 for a bi-fold.

Premium is $399 a month on annual billing or $449 month-to-month, and Enterprise is quoted. The trap is the lowest number on the page. Handwritten insert media is listed from $0.49, and it is not a mailed piece at all: it is a handwritten card with no envelope, designed to slip into a package or be handed out. It carries no address and no postage, and it is not available on Starter.

Quote a direct-mail budget off that figure and you will be out by a factor of three, because the mailed handwritten piece it is confused with costs $1.56 on the free tier. What the subscription buys is automation rather than cheaper paper. Premium adds real-time triggers, native integrations and webhooks, attribution, multi-touch campaigns and the MailGPT copy agent; Enterprise adds holdout and A/B testing, advanced targeting and a managed service.

The lower per-piece rates on both are labelled 'as low as with spend commitment', so the subscription alone does not buy them — volume does. And note one oddity in the vendor's own figures: Enterprise's postcard floors ($0.56, $0.63, $0.69) sit above Premium's ($0.54, $0.60, $0.68), while its handwritten floors sit below. Ask which commitment each floor assumes before you treat either as your price.

How to actually use LettrLabs

Price the exact piece you intend to mail before you budget anything, because the formats are three times apart. On the free Starter tier a 4x6 postcard is $0.76 and a handwritten envelope with a printed letter is $1.56, both with postage included. Do not budget off the $0.49 insert-media rate: that is a card with no envelope that ships inside a package, it carries no postage, and Starter cannot order it.

Then compute your break-even on the real number. A thousand handwritten envelopes on Starter is $1,560. Against a $200 gross margin per new customer you need about eight customers to break even, which is a 0.78% response rate — not the 0.3% a $0.49 piece would imply. Judge that against what your own channels produce before you commit. Build the list before you think about the mail. Robotic handwriting gets the envelope opened, but an opened envelope with the wrong name on it is still waste.

Then test small and change one thing at a time. Start with the $30 of free credit and a couple of hundred pieces carrying your best current offer, and give it a trackable response route — a unique URL, a code, a dedicated number — because direct mail is worthless without attribution. Only take the $399-a-month Premium tier once the automation and attribution are what you are short of; the discounted per-piece rates on it require a spend commitment as well.

Distilled from Read 22 Sep 2026 (and previously 31 Aug 2026, with every rate identical): lettrlabs.com/products/pricing - the Starter, Premium and Enterprise cards with their full per-piece rate lists and the 'Postage is Always Included' header, the four-column comparison headers naming Starter, Core, Premium and Enterprise against a three-cell price row, the Core rate column read from the page's own core-*-m data attributes, the two conflicting 'as low as' summaries on the Starter and Enterprise columns, the plan comparison table giving Premium at $449/month against $399/month, the 'as low as with spend commitment' labels on the Premium and Enterprise rates, the Handwritten Insert Media row that prices the envelope-free card from $0.49 and shows a dash in the Starter column, the add-on rate rows, the 'Coming Soon!' flags on A/B testing and SearchLight attribution, and the 'Powered by LettrLabs' partner block. Note: lettrlabs.com/llms.txt returns a 404, so there is no machine-readable price source.

The natural comparison is Handwrytten — the main handwritten-mail rival.

Frequently asked questions

The card says pricing as low as $0.73 a printed piece. Can I actually get that rate?

Not from anything published on the page. Read 22 September 2026, the free Starter card sums its own rate list up as 'Printed: $0.73, Handwritten: $2.83' - and the list directly above that line starts at $0.76 for a 4x6 postcard and $2.86 for a card and envelope. Scroll down and the same Starter column appears a second time, summarised this time as $0.76 and $2.86, matching its rates. The Enterprise column has the identical three-cent gap: $0.53 and $1.24 in the summary against a floor of $0.56 and $1.27 in its own list. Premium is the only tier whose summary ($0.54 and $1.46) agrees with its rates. So two of the three headline figures are below any price the vendor will actually quote you, and there is no footnote explaining them. Budget from the itemised rows for the exact format you plan to mail, and treat the 'as low as' line as decoration.

A rep mentioned a Core plan. What does Core cost?

The page never says, and that is worth pausing on. Read 22 September 2026, every comparison header on lettrlabs.com/products/pricing reads Starter, Core, Premium, Enterprise - four columns - while the price row beneath it holds three cells: FREE, $449 a month or $399 on annual billing, and Custom Pricing. Core gets no card, no monthly fee and no button. It does get a complete rate column of its own, priced between the free tier and Premium: $0.61 for a 4x6 postcard, $0.68 for 6x9, $0.75 for 6x11, $0.98 for the tri-fold, and $1.22, $1.26, $2.05 and $2.30 for the four handwritten formats. Those rates are the whole reason to ask. If Core is offered to you, get three things in writing before you compare it with anything: its monthly fee, whether that fee is billed annually like Premium's $399, and whether its per-piece rates carry the same spend commitment the Premium and Enterprise floors do.

We mail postcards, not letters. Does Enterprise get us the lowest rates?

For postcards it does the opposite. Read 22 September 2026, Enterprise's printed rates are $0.56, $0.63 and $0.69 for the 4x6, 6x9 and 6x11 against Premium's $0.54, $0.60 and $0.68 - higher on all three, with the tri-fold tied at $0.88. Enterprise pays off on the handwritten side instead: $0.81 against $0.85 for a handwritten envelope with a printed letter, $1.27 against $1.46 for a card and envelope, $1.52 against $1.71 for a bi-fold. On a run of 10,000 postcards that is $200 more a year at the Enterprise rate, so a postcard-only programme has no rate argument for moving up. What Enterprise buys instead is holdout testing, advanced targeting, multi-account permissions and a managed service - and two of the features it is sold on are not live yet: A/B testing and third-party attribution through SearchLight both still carry a 'Coming Soon!' label. Both tiers' floors are also labelled 'as low as with spend commitment', so the subscription alone does not unlock them.

What should I weigh before buying Growth & Revenue software?

It depends on whether you have the bottleneck it solves. Small teams get the most out of this category when one clear problem is already costing real hours or revenue; buying ahead of that just adds cost and another login. Price it against the hours or lost deals it removes, not against its feature list, and start on the smallest plan that covers the job.
