I think the difference is that with Mod you have to use their notebooks, whereas with these guys you can send them any notebook. That makes a huge difference for me personally.
Ok, yeah i just saw that. You can't exactly use any notebook, it looks like there are specific dimensions and brands.
Personally i like the idea of not worrying about that and id rather just pay up front for the mod notebook and then mail it off when i'm ready but i could see how some people would prefer the papersync way.
I've purchased a Mod Notebook and am waiting for it to be delivered. They launched first, so I get to compare you to them naturally.
Mod Notebook Pros:
-Notebook and scanning included ($25)
-Only less $10 than Moleskine and includes digitization, syncing
-Prepaid shipping envelope
-Native Mod App to read notes
-Syncs with Dropbox, OneNote, Evernote
Mod Notebook Cons:
-Shipping delays in the current order, still waiting after a month from unexpected high demand on their part
-$5 more expensive than you guys
Papersync Pros:
-Cheaper ($20)
-Can use any notebook
Papersync Cons:
-Mailing cost not included
-$5 less but no notebook
-No dedicated app
-No apparent syncing
On first impression I would splurge the extra $5 for Mod Notebooks every time. I would definitely consider you guys for old notebooks I have already used up - but I would expect the cost to be closer to $15 for future notebooks to save against Mod. Good luck!

Right. I was about to point out the same thing. This service already exists and they are in production (I think).
Am I completely missing it, or does the website really give no indication of how many pages their notebooks contain?
It seems you have to use their notebook
