Frequently asked questions

How is Greetigo different from hip?
hip is a phone app: reminders come as notifications on your iPhone and Apple Watch, and it has cards and gift ideas. Greetigo sends the reminder by email, so it reaches you on any device (its iPhone app can also show a notification), and each email has a message ready: written for them with AI if you allow AI drafts (every plan, Free included), otherwise a template with their name.
Is there an Android version?
Not of hip: its site says it is on iOS only for now. Greetigo has no Android app either, but it works in Chrome or any other browser on Android, and its reminders come by email.
Can I bring my birthdays into Greetigo?
Yes. In the free Greetigo app for iPhone (US only), pick the birthdays from your Contacts. On the website, save your phone contacts as a contacts (.vcf) file and import it, or import a calendar (.ics) or CSV file. It is a one-time copy: Greetigo does not stay in sync with your phone the way hip does.
Is Greetigo free?
Yes, for up to 10 saved dates, with email reminders and a message in each one for a person, written with AI if you allow AI drafts, otherwise a template. Plus (US$4.99/mo) and Premium (US$9.99/mo) add the AI writer with styles and languages and have no 10-date limit. The Free plan needs no card.
