Bottom line: Handwrytten has 8× more verified reviews than Simply Noted for a reason. Handwrytten offers a more robust platform at a similar price point, while offering the data security assurances of SOC2, US-based customer service, and 24x7 operation. Handwrytten's proves continual innovation in the field.
Sign Up Handwrytten is SOC 2 Type II certified by independent auditors to verify that our security controls don’t just exist on paper but have operated effectively over time. Simply Noted carries no equivalent certification. For enterprise buyers and any business sending customer PII through a vendor, that difference matters.
LEARN MORE
Simply Noted has customer service and account management through international agents. While these personnel might be highly adept, being far from the physical operations of Simply Noted makes it difficult to provide transparency to the client.
Handwrytten has US-based account managers and customer service representatives available to assist with any question. All CS and AMs sit in the facility where the notes are written. With a team of 60 people dedicated to writing, quality assurance, and customer support, you get a real person and not a ticket queue.
Handwrytten’s Canadian operation delivers domestically with Canada Post postage, making your notes indistinguishable from a locally sent card. Simply Noted has no local Canadian delivery capability. If your customers are north of the border, Handwrytten is the only choice.
Globally, Simply Noted currently only allows United States addresses in its web app. As such, if sending notes outside of the USA is a need, Simply Noted is unable to serve you without team involvement.
Handwrytten goes beyond one-off card sending with tools built for sustained customer outreach: birthday and anniversary automations that trigger without manual work, multi-step campaign sequences that follow up over days or weeks, and map-based prospecting to reach cold leads without a mailing list. Simply Noted’s current platform offers none of these; it’s a credit-based card service with no native automation tools beyond Zapier.
Handwrytten’s scope of integrations, including Claude, Make.com, N8N, Hubspot, Salesforce, Blackbaud and more trump Simply Noted. Furthermore, to support developers, Handwrytten has SDKs for Python and Javascript, in addition to its API.
The ability to personalize each and every card and how much it looks handwritten makes this a standout tool. Initial setup took only minutes and the workflows are incredibly intuitive.
My company started using Handwrytten six years ago after sales meetings. We now send over 15,000 cards a month and it makes a huge impact with our prospects. The CRM integration is seamless.
We use Handwrytten to improve the onboarding experience of our users. This increases retention and lifetime member value. Other handwriting services simply don't compare.
Jordon CrittendonIt saves time, ensures the notes look professional, and adds a personal touch that email or printed cards simply can't match. Handwrytten is the best value for what you get compared to any competitor I've tried.
Handwrytten has 8 times more verified G2 reviews, many more integrations including Salesforce and Hubspot a built-in AI copy assistant, a mobile app, and handwriting duplication. Handwrytten’s integration superiority is clear through the extensive depth and breadth, including SDKs for TypeScript/Javascript and Python, Make.com, Claude MCP and more.
Yes. Simply Noted uses robotic technology that writes with real ballpoint pens and ink, the same approach as Handwrytten. Both platforms produce authentic-looking handwritten notes. The differences are in paper quality, integrations, feature depth, pricing, and breadth of service rather than the core writing technology.
Yes. SimplyNoted includes a visible 2D barcode on their cards that they use to track the order. Handwrytten has innovated another solution that does not visibly mark their clients’ cards with any unnecessary barcodes.
Handwrytten offers the ability to upload your personal handwriting for a one-time digitization fee — after which, its robots replicate your unique writing style at any volume. Simply Noted no longer offers this capability.
Handwrytten has over 800 verified reviews on G2 with a 4.7/5 score. Simply Noted has approximately 100 reviews. The larger Handwrytten sample provides a more reliable indicator of real-world performance across diverse industries, use cases, and business sizes.
Thank you.
