How does Wuzci compare to Moonpig?
A common question we get here at Wuzci is; how are we different from existing greetings card shops such as Moonpig?
To us, the answer is simple. We are a monthly subscription service that reminds you when you have an upcoming occasion and prompts you to select a card so that it can be delivered to your door. Saving you both time & money! 💸
So how does Wuzci compare with other shops such as Moonpig?
Here is a side-by-side comparison of some features we value when shopping for cards.
⓵ A Helpful Reminder System for All Your Occasions
Never forgetting an occasion has always been at the heart of Wuzci’s mission. We were sick of having to do a last-minute dash to the high street when we needed to buy a card, that we decided to build a reminder system.
You can then view all your reminders, in a helpful and ordered list, so know exactly what’s coming up and who to choose cards for:
Moonpig recently launched their own system that allows you to add dates and receive an email reminder.
Here’s a comparison of the reminder features:
| Feature | Wuzci |
Moonpig |
|---|---|---|
| Free to use | ✅ | ✅ |
| Individual Reminders | ✅ | ✅ |
| Choice of occasions (Birthday, Christmas etc.) | 19 | 9 |
| Links orders to your occasions | ✅ | ❌ |
| Repeated & One-off occasions | ✅ | ❌ |
| Monthly Recaps | ✅ | ❌ |
Winner:
Moonpig’s system does cover the basics, but Wuzci does seem to have a lot more features and flexibility. Let’s call this one a draw.
⓶ Environmental Responsibilty Info & Green Status
Wuzci prides itself on being green. We’re always on the lookout for new ways to not only reduce our impact on the planet but give back to it too.
All Wuzci’s cards & envelopes are made from recycled materials (which, can then be recycled again of course), our protective packaging is made from biodegradable vegetable starch instead of plastic and even our little sweet treats we sometimes send out are 100% vegan 🍬
We also plant a tree for every 100 subscribers we get as part of the Trees For Life scheme. 🌳🌲
Winner:
Whilst I’m sure Moonpig has some sustainable policies (they must do right?) it seems to be impossible to find anything about it on their website. A clear win to Wuzci on this one.
⓷ Support for Independent Artists
When you buy a Wuzci card, you are directly supporting the artist that designed that card. Our Artist platform gives creators a space to showcase their work and earn money every month from the cards that you choose. 🎨
Similar to the environmental situation, it isn’t very clear who designs Moonpigs cards and how the people who create them are supported.
Winner:
Wuzci, is quickly becoming the home for independent artists. We remove all the frictions and barriers to getting their designs in customers hands. We’ll ensure we keep building the very best features to keep supporting them.
④ Choice of Cards
Moonpig certainly has the edge on the total number of designs and customizability… which is understandable considering they started almost 20 years before Wuzci! But we truly believe that the way forward is to give you direct access to an ever-growing list of amazing talented artists who create truly stunning cards for every occasion.
Winner:
Whilst Wuzci is adding 100’s of beautiful cards every month, we have to concede that currently, Moonpig has the larger selection… but we hope to catch them very soon.
⑤ Value for Money
Not only were we tired of forgetting cards when we decided to build Wuzci… we were sick of overpaying for them too!
We started to think… you have roughly the same Birthday’s, Anniversary’s, Mother’s Father’s, Valentine’s Days and Christmas every year. Why wouldn’t that just be a small subscription so you always had the cards you needed? 🤷♂️
This subscription method allows Wuzci to print everything to order, reducing waste & cutting costs that we then pass onto you. Wuzci’s plans start from just £4 which gets you any 2 cards you choose, delivered to your door every month.
Have some months busier than others? Don’t worry you can rollover any cards that you don’t use for busy months and times like Christmas.
