Handwrytten is a long-running handwritten note service known for its mobile app and Salesforce integration. Scribble's focus is different: automated, CRM-event-triggered letters with personalized copy, designed for businesses that want a letter to go out the moment something happens in their CRM or POS — not when a sales rep remembers to send one.
Scribble and Handwrytten both send handwritten letters, but for different jobs. Handwrytten is best for individuals or small teams sending occasional cards on-demand. Scribble is best for teams that want consistent, automated handwritten outreach at every key moment in the customer lifecycle — without anyone having to remember.

Handwrytten supports basic automation via Zapier and Salesforce. Scribble is built automation-first — every trigger, every control mode, every personalization decision is designed for hands-off operation from CRM data.
Handwrytten uses templates with mail-merge fields. Scribble drafts every letter from scratch with our software, pulling the actual contact name, deal stage, property details, or loyalty visit data — so no two letters are alike.
Handwrytten is one of a dozen services doing some version of this. The full roundup weighs every one of them on real ink versus printed fonts, what each actually automates, and published pricing.
