Quick start

What do you need help with?

Nº 01Ordering

Ordering and payment.

What does a letter cost?

A standard letter starts at €1.49 in black and white and €3.59 in colour. Einwurf-Einschreiben (registered with proof of posting) starts at €7.59, Übergabe-Einschreiben (registered against signature) at €8.19. The exact final price is shown in the app before you pay.

Prices per letter

How is the price calculated?

From the page count and the resulting letter format, colour or black and white printing, the chosen shipping type, optional express, and the destination country. The final price shown includes printing, postage and service. Under § 19 UStG no VAT is shown.

Our terms, § 4 prices and payment

How do I pay?

Through Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd., by credit or debit card or with Apple Pay. The amount is captured immediately when the payment is confirmed.

Is there a subscription or a credit balance?

No. Every letter is paid for individually. No subscription, no prepaid balance, no token system.

Do I get an invoice?

Yes. After a successful payment an invoice PDF is created automatically, with a sequential number in the format FK-YYYY-NNNN and the § 19 UStG note. You can open it in the app.

When is the contract concluded?

The moment you confirm the order during checkout and the Stripe payment completes successfully.

Nº 02Delivery

Delivery and transit time.

How fast does my letter arrive in Germany?

Within Germany, around 95% of letters are delivered at E+3 and 99% at E+4, so three to four working days after posting. FrankKi factors weekends and public holidays into the deadline buffer. Internationally, transit time depends on the destination country.

Does FrankKi send abroad?

Yes, worldwide. Local postal rates apply in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) and in several European countries (France, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Luxembourg, Spain). To the rest of the world, delivery typically takes 4 to 18 working days.

Prices and destinations

Who prints my letter and who delivers it?

Printing, enveloping and posting are handled by our fulfilment partner. Delivery is by post: in Germany by Deutsche Post AG, abroad by the respective delivery service in the destination country.

Which letter format is used?

Kompaktbrief, Standardbrief or Großbrief, the German compact, standard and large letter formats. The format is determined automatically from the page count, so you do not have to pick one.

Nº 03Letter status

Where your letter stands.

Do I get a tracking number?

Standard letters have no tracking number. You see the status of your letter in the app: ordered, printed, sent. After posting we also show the estimated delivery window. Real tracking with proof of delivery comes with registered mail.

More on registered mail

Am I notified about status changes?

Yes. FrankKi sends status updates as push notifications, provided you allowed them.

Where do I see the current state?

In the app, on the letter itself. The invoice and the chosen shipping type are stored there too.

All features

Nº 04Registered mail

Registered mail with proof.

Which registered options are there?

Two of them. Einwurf-Einschreiben is delivery with a proof of posting receipt and without a signature, from €7.59. Übergabe-Einschreiben is personal handover against the recipient's signature, from €8.19. Both come with tracking.

Which one do I need?

It depends on how much proof you need. For most deadline-bound letters, Einwurf is enough. If the recipient has to sign in person, choose Übergabe.

Can I send registered mail abroad?

International registered mail is available depending on the destination country. Which shipping types your address supports and what they cost is shown while you create the letter, before you pay.

Prices per letter

Nº 05Cancellation

Cancellation, withdrawal and refunds.

Can I stop a letter after paying?

Only until your letter has been handed to our fulfilment partner for printing and posting after the payment cleared. From that point the service has been fully performed and the right of withdrawal lapses under § 356 (4) BGB. So get in touch as early as you can.

Right of withdrawal in full

How do I withdraw?

With a clear statement, for example a letter or an email to support@frankki.app. A model withdrawal form is available, but using it is not mandatory. Sending the statement before the deadline expires is enough to meet it.

Model withdrawal form

When do I get my money back?

Refunds run through Stripe back to the original payment method, without undue delay and at the latest within fourteen days of the day your withdrawal reached us. Depending on your bank it can then take a few more working days to show up.

My letter could not be printed or sent.

Then we refund the full amount through Stripe and tell you by push notification. That covers technical faults on our side and a rejection by the fulfilment partner before printing and posting.

I entered the wrong recipient address.

You are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of recipient data. If the letter was properly transmitted, printed and posted but delivery fails because of an incorrect, incomplete or undeliverable address, there is no claim to redelivery or a refund.

A letter was rejected because of its content.

Orders that breach the obligations in § 6 of the terms can be rejected. Amounts already paid are refunded in full in that case.

Our terms, § 6 user obligations

Nº 06Account and data

Account, data and privacy.

Do I need an account?

Yes. Registration and authentication run through Sign in with Apple. The usage contract is concluded with that registration and your acceptance of the terms.

How long is my data stored?

Letter drafts 180 days, letter PDFs until printing is finished, session tokens 30 days, server logs 14 days. Invoices are kept for 10 years because of the statutory retention duty (§ 147 AO).

Privacy policy with all retention periods

How do I delete my account?

In the app under Profile, Delete account. Or by email to datenschutz@frankki.app. Account, addresses, letters, orders, payment references and device tokens are then deleted irreversibly. Invoices are subject to the statutory retention duty and remain stored.

What rights do I have over my data?

Access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, objection and withdrawal of consent. Write to datenschutz@frankki.app. The competent supervisory authority is the Berlin Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information.

Your rights in detail

What happens to my text when I use the AI?

The content you provide, meaning your description, your answers to follow-up questions and uploaded documents, is transmitted to OpenAI in the EU for processing. It can contain personal data that you enter yourself.

Nº 07AI and content

AI drafts, content and responsibility.

What can the AI do?

It drafts your letter from your description, for example a cancellation or an objection. You can edit the text afterwards at any time. AI-generated content is marked as such.

Is this legal advice?

No. FrankKi is a tool for writing in your own matter and provides no legal service within the meaning of the German RDG and no legal advice. The provider is not a law firm. For a legal assessment of your individual case, consult a lawyer or an advice centre such as a tenants association or a consumer advice centre.

Our terms, § 7 AI features

Who is liable for the content of my letter?

You are. AI drafts are suggestions and have to be checked before sending. FrankKi posts the letter you approved in your name.

What am I not allowed to send?

Unlawful, insulting or defamatory content, threats, coercion and harassment, fraudulent statements or identity deception, unsolicited bulk mail, and content that infringes third-party rights.

Our terms, § 6 user obligations

How do I report an abusive letter?

By email to missbrauch@frankki.app or through the online form. The procedure follows Article 16 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 (Digital Services Act).

Nº 08Concrete cases

When something is stuck.

Six situations that reach us most often, and the shortest route to a fix for each.

  • 01

    The status is not moving

    Open the letter in the app and check the state: ordered, printed, sent. Changes also arrive as push notifications. If the state stays unclear to you, write to us and include your invoice number in the format FK-YYYY-NNNN.

    Go to contact

  • 02

    The payment was declined

    A letter is only ordered once the Stripe payment completes successfully. If it is declined, no contract was concluded and no amount is due. Check your card or Apple Pay and start checkout again.

  • 03

    I cannot find my invoice

    The invoice is created automatically as a PDF after a successful payment and can be opened in the app. Its number has the format FK-YYYY-NNNN, for example FK-2026-0001.

  • 04

    I entered the wrong address

    As long as the letter has not been handed to the fulfilment partner, you can withdraw. After that, printing and posting cannot be undone. So send your withdrawal statement immediately.

    Withdrawal and refunds

  • 05

    I want my data deleted

    Delete the account in the app under Profile, Delete account. For access, rectification or erasure of individual data, write to datenschutz@frankki.app.

    Privacy policy

  • 06

    I received a letter and want to report it
