Switching from Bannerbear to Cardsmith is mostly a matter of following the same three steps every OneTimeSuite app uses — buy once, deploy or install, bring your workflow over.
Step 1: Buy once on Whop
One-time $39 for the packaged installer — Chromium and every render dependency pre-wired.
Step 2: Design a template
Drag layers on the canvas or start from one of 5 starter templates. Type {{title}} wherever dynamic text goes.
Step 3: Call the API
Drop the render URL into your og:image tag, script it from Node or serverless, or bulk-render a CSV into a zip of PNGs.
What to expect during the switch
Cardsmith covers the same core workflow as Bannerbear, so most people are productive within the first session — see the full feature list and FAQ on the product page before you commit.
Why make the switch at all
Bannerbear runs $49/mo, forever. Cardsmith is $39, once. Cardsmith costs less than a single month of Bannerbear — it pays for itself in 24 days.
Try Cardsmith — $39, once
Visual OG-image templates that become render APIs — unlimited PNGs, bulk CSV, self-hosted.
