Costs
Free services:
Unless specifically noted below, all of pingg's services are provided at "no cost" to the host or guest/recipient. These free services are subsidized by embedded ads in the event/ecard web site.
Ad-free:
When using free services, pingg may include ads in email messages or on your event/ecard web site. You can choose to make your event or ecard "ad-free" for $5.00 US. The "ad-free" option can be selected in the "event web page" section when creating an event or in the "web page" section when creating an ecard. Please note that ad-free is invite/ecard-specific so if you pay for ad-free for one event/ecard, your other events/ecards will not be ad-free unless you pay for ad-free for each of them too.
pingg Plus+ images:
When designing your ecard or invitation, you can purchase an image from our pingg Plus+ image library of over four million images. This ensures that you can find, acquire and legally use the perfect image for your invitation or ecard. These royalty-free images are available for $9.00 US and include unlimited use in your pingg invites and ecards. Please note this does not give you the right to download and/or use the image for your own purposes.
For example, to use a pingg Plus+ image in an invitation, you would pay $9.00 US one-time, and nothing further.
You can also choose to upload your own image at no cost, or choose from our free design collection.

Print:
pingg offers you the option of having your invitation or ecard professionally printed and delivered by first class postal mail to any address in the world. This service costs $1.50 US per ecard plus $0.44 US postage for US addresses ($1.94 US total per ecard), or $0.98 US postage for international addresses ($2.48 US total per ecard).
For example, to send 20 printed ecards to US addresses, you would pay $38.80 US ($1.94 x 20). The same 20 ecards sent to addresses outside the US would cost $49.60 ($2.48 x 20). You can mix US and international ecards within the same print delivery and pingg will automatically calculate the correct charges for you.

SMS:
You can send your invitation, ecard or a message to guests/recipients by SMS (text) message to their mobile phone. We sell SMS message credits in packs of 20 for $1.50 US.
For example, to send a SMS message to 40 recipients, this would cost $3.00 US. Unused SMS message credits are kept in your account and can be used in the future.
You can choose to mix and match how guests receive invitations. You can easily only email one group of guests, send printed invitations to another group, and send both an email and printed invitations to a third group.
