How is Greetigo different from Birthdays Reminder?
Birthdays Reminder sends one email on the birthday itself, at the time you choose, and it is free. Greetigo emails you before the date (the day before by default, or on the days you pick), and each email has a message ready to send or copy. Greetigo is free for up to 10 saved dates.
When does each reminder arrive?
Birthdays Reminder: on the birthday, at the time you set. Greetigo: in the morning in your time zone, the day before by default. For each date you can also choose on the day, or 1, 3, 7 or 14 days before, in any combination.
Can Greetigo import my Facebook birthdays?
Not directly. Birthdays Reminder's page says it can import data from Facebook. Greetigo imports contacts (.vcf), calendar (.ics) and CSV files or a pasted list, and you can add dates by hand.
Is Greetigo free?
Yes, for up to 10 saved dates, with email reminders and free message templates. Plus ($4.99/mo) and Premium ($9.99/mo) add AI-written drafts, and Premium has no 10-date limit. The Free plan needs no card.
