Paperless Post Pricing Explained: How Coins Work (2026)
How Paperless Post coins work: free designs and the first 50 free invitations, coins per guest for Basic, Premium and All Access, what that costs in dollars, and Paperless Pro. Checked 3 October 2026.
Paperless Post prices invitations in coins, and the number you need depends on the design, the features you add and how many people you invite. Once you see the per-guest rule it’s simple. Here it is.
Figures from Paperless Post’s own pricing page, checked 3 October 2026.
The rule: coins per guest
Every send has a feature tier, and each tier costs a set number of coins per recipient:
| Tier | Coins per guest | Approx. per guest | 50 guests |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | 0 | $0.00 | $0 |
| Basic | 2 | $0.50 | ~$25 |
| Premium | 5 | $1.05 | ~$52.50 |
| All Access | 8 | $1.44 | ~$72 |
Multiply the design’s coins per recipient by your guest count. 40 guests at 5 coins is 200 coins.
Premium adds things like envelopes, backdrops, premium page styles and colours, a photo gallery and guest questions. All Access adds everything.
What’s free
Free designs, and on the free feature set, the first 50 invitations sent by email or phone, with no purchase needed. For a small party on a free design, Paperless Post can cost nothing.
Paperless Pro
An annual subscription with no coins: unlimited features, priced by how many guests you invite in a year. It starts at $250 a year for 250 guests, which Paperless Post describes as 25% less than paying per event.
By party size, at Premium
| Your party | Premium (5 coins/guest) |
|---|---|
| Dinner for 10 | ~$10.50 |
| Birthday party of 25 | ~$26 |
| Baby shower of 40 | ~$42 |
| Wedding of 120 | ~$126 |
The cost grows with every guest, which is the main thing to plan for on a big list.
