Comparison
Looking for a LoveBook alternative? Here is how a LoveNote is different.
LoveBook is a book of reasons you love someone, with cartoon versions of you two, and you write the reasons. A LoveNote is a story: your fourteen real memories, written in your voice like a long love letter, painted from your photos, and approved by you page by page before it prints. If you want to write the pages yourself, LoveBook is built for that. If you want the story told for you from what actually happened, read on.
| LoveNote | LoveBook | |
|---|---|---|
| What you give | Fourteen memories in plain notes, and up to ten photos of the two of you. | You design two cartoon characters to resemble you, then pick pages from their library. |
| Who writes it | The book is written from your memories in your voice, like a long love letter. You edit every line. | You choose from hundreds of pre-written pages, each one a reason you love them. |
| The pictures | Painted scenes of your real moments, the two of you painted from your photos. | Illustrated characters built with their character builder: hair, skin tone, body type, style. |
| The book | 30-page hardcover. | Paperback or hardcover, 50-plus pages, 8.5 by 5.5 inches. |
| Price | $59.99 USD plus shipping. | Paperback $54.99 ($49.49 with their code LOVE10); hardcover $62.99 USD. |
| Before it prints | You read and approve every page. Nothing prints until you say so. | You build the book yourself in their editor and order it. |
| Changes | Unlimited text edits, a fresh take on any section, 30 picture changes. | You edit pages yourself before ordering. |
| Refunds | Full refund any time before you approve the book for print. Damaged or lost in the post: free replacement or refund. | See their site; policies change. |
| Where it ships | Worldwide, printed close to you. | Their site says it is currently only available in the United States. |
When LoveBook is the better pick
You want to write every reason yourself, in a list, and you like the cartoon-avatar look. LoveBook has been doing exactly that since 2008, its reviews are strong, and the paperback is a little cheaper than a LoveNote.
When a LoveNote is the better pick
You want the book to tell the story of how you met, the proposal, the night with the dogs on the couch, in your words but without you writing a book. You give the memories; the writing and the painting are done for you, and the two of you are painted from your real photos rather than built from a menu of hair and skin tones.
You want to see the whole book before anything is printed. Every LoveNote is approved page by page, and until you approve it you can cancel for a full refund. A person checks every book before it prints, for your names, your faces, and your story told right.
You live outside the United States. LoveNotes print close to you and ship worldwide.
