How we compiled this
Pricing re-verified via WebFetch against each vendor's official pricing page (lob.com/pricing, postgrid.com/pricing-print-mail, postalytics.com/pricing, easylettersender.click2mail.com/pricing, inkit.com/pricing, postpilot.com/pricing) on 2026-06-18, with compliance cross-checked against lob.com/security, postgrid.com/security, and the Click2Mail HIPAA blog. For Lob, PostGrid, Postalytics, and PostPilot the monthlyUsd field carries the platform/seat fee; per-piece print-and-postage rates are placed in plan notes because they are not a fixed monthly charge. Click2Mail publishes no monthly subscription; per-piece rates appear in notes. Inkit has repositioned as a document-automation and eSign platform: its pricing page publishes eSign/DocGen plans ($0 Free, $15 Personal, $25 Standard, custom Enterprise) and NO direct mail pricing — only the published $0 Free tier and custom Enterprise (which gates direct mail API access) are retained here, both flagged as off-core-vertical eSign products. accessedAt 2026-06-18.
