A free alternative to Blue Mountain ecards
Blue Mountain has sent ecards for a very long time: thousands of them, SmashUps you personalise, printable cards and reminders, with a membership to send the full range and a bundle that adds Jacquie Lawson.
RAYXIS Gifts — ours — is free for most designs, with no membership and no account, and the gift is made for one person: their name, your photos, your words — a pop-up card your friends stand up in, or a snow globe they fall into on Christmas Eve.
Everything said here about Blue Mountain was read from their own pages on 28 October 2026. Where their pages don't say, this page says so rather than guessing. Something wrong or changed? Tell us and we'll correct it.
The short version
- Want thousands of ecards, SmashUps and printables, and you send often? A Blue Mountain membership.
- Want something free without a membership? Most of our designs.
- Want your own photos and their name inside the gift? That's what we make.
- Want birthday reminders? Blue Mountain — we don't keep a calendar for you.

What Blue Mountain does well
A big, familiar library. Their homepage describes thousands of ecards and printable cards, SmashUps personalised with a name, song cards, and reminders for birthdays and anniversaries, with a free-ecards section for people who haven't joined.
Membership is $7.99 a month, $35.99 a year or $49.99 for two years, or $53.99 a year bundled with Jacquie Lawson, as their homepage showed it, with a free trial and taxes possibly extra.
Pick Blue Mountain when you send ecards to lots of people through the year and want reminders, printables and a huge library in one membership.
What we do differently
Our gifts are made for one person. The pop-up birthday card stands the people from your photo up inside the card. The nested boxes are five boxes, each hidden in the last, with your letter at the bottom.
And the 360° rooms: Christmas Eve, a snow globe they fall into, with Santa stuck in the chimney and four presents holding your photos; the Birthday Room, with their name in neon and your photos framed on the wall. They look around by moving the phone.
Most designs are free, with no membership, no account and no ads. Premium is a pack of credits bought once — nothing renews. A free gift stays online for 10 days, a premium one for 90.
Pick us when you want it free without joining anything, or you want their name and your photos inside the gift.
What we don't do: printable cards, reminders, or a library of thousands. If you want those, Blue Mountain will serve you better.
What you can send instead of an ecard
Every one has a free demo — open it and see what they'd get. The 360° rooms are looked around by moving the phone.

- Is there an interactive Christmas ecard I can send?
- RAYXIS Gifts' Christmas Eve is a 360° room: a snow globe they shake and fall into, a cottage where Santa gets stuck in the chimney, four presents holding your photos, and a tree they light up themselves. It's a premium design; the photo album and the nested boxes are free for Christmas too.
- Can I put my own photos in an ecard?
- On RAYXIS Gifts, yes: the pop-up birthday card cuts the people out of your photo, the photo album is made of your pictures, and the 360° rooms hang your photos on the wall or put them inside presents.
The honest way to judge it is to open one. Every design has a free demo, with no sign-in and nothing to install.
