Comparison

iPostal1 vs Anytime Mailbox

Both give you a street address at a staffed mail center and an app to manage your mail. The big difference is pricing: iPostal1 sells set tiers, while Anytime Mailbox lets each location set its own.

How to decide

Pick the address first. If you need a specific city or state, check what each network has there and what that location charges.

Then count your scans. If you want most letters opened, the per-scan price matters more than the monthly fee.

Read the location page. On both networks the mail center is a local business; pickup, package storage and shipping options can differ by location.
