There is Lob as well: https://lob.com/

Lob is great. I've used them to mail postcards as well as letters before. They also recently started allowing you to use HTML for the design rather than PDFs.
Looks great. The only downside (like most companies) is HIPAA compliance only comes with the >$900/mo price points.
That's customer segmentation 101.
I'm about to use them for a startup. Anything I should know? Tips and tricks welcome.
(my opinions, not my employer's standard disclosure) Lob team has been great to work with - they've accommodated a lot of tweaks we've needed (custom paper, much higher levels of verification). They're good at API backwards compatibility, but they are pretty active on the development front, so it's worth keeping an eye on what changes are coming through on the SDK.
I used Lob for a small side project, it was fantastic. We simply sent HTML to them, which worked out great since we didn't have to deal with any real typesetting and got to design letters with HTML/CSS.
Hey, Lob employee here! Feel free to email me at shrav@lob.com. I'd be happy to give you any tips or tricks!
