The side-by-side
Prices are what each App Store or web listing showed on November 2, 2026. Several listings repeat a product name at different prices without saying which is which, so treat their ranges as a guide and check the app before paying.
| Service | What it sells | Prices as listed |
|---|---|---|
| Call Santa Claus! | App with Santa calls and a personalized video using your child's name and photo; English only | Video purchases listed at $6.99, $14.99 and $19.99; subscriptions from $1.49 a month |
| Magic Santa | App with Santa calls and a personalized video from the child's name, age and details | Single video $9.99 to $19.99; bundles $29.99 and $39.99; unlimited calls $9.99 |
| Portable North Pole | Web and app: free trial videos, paid Premium and a Magic Pass for calls, chats and stories | Prices not listed on its home page |

What Hollyhush includes
- No account and no app. You pay on Stripe and watch on a private order page in any browser.
- You type how to say the name, and automatic checks look for the name in every video; a person reviews videos that fail those checks.
- A flat price. The video is $7.99 and the optional extras are listed; there is no subscription.
- The video is deleted 30 days after it is ready, and everything you typed with it.

Where the others are better
- Calls. If you want a live-feeling phone call from Santa, apps such as Call Santa Claus! and Magic Santa sell calls. We do not.
- Many videos or kids (the free versus paid guide has more on that). Portable North Pole is built around a whole season of videos and stories for every child on your list. We make one video, plus a sibling in the same video for $3.99.
- Languages. Call Santa Claus! lists English only. Portable North Pole has offered more languages in the past; check its current list. Ours is in English.
What to check in any Santa video before you pay
- Is the price per video, per child, or a subscription?
- Do you need an account, and what does it keep?
- Can you see a real sample of the current video, not a promo reel?
- Is the name pronounced right, and can you fix it?
- Can you download it, and for how long is it kept?
Our sample on the Santa page is the same quality you get. It is for a made-up child, Maya, in each of two looks.
How the Hollyhush price works
The base video is $7.99. Extras: drawing on Santa's desk $1.99, sibling in the same video $3.99, longer message $1.99, 1080p HD download $1.99, printable Nice List certificate $0.99. The video and all five extras at list price come to $18.94, so the Everything bundle at $12.99 saves $5.95.
Paying is one card payment on Stripe. A grown-up check comes before the pay button. The order link is the only way back to your video, so keep it.
