How is Greetigo different from Postable?
Postable is about paper cards: its reminders help you send one in time, and it mails the card for you. Greetigo is about the message: each reminder email has one ready to email from Greetigo or copy into a text. Greetigo does not mail paper cards.
When do the reminders arrive?
Postable's come about a week ahead. Greetigo's come in the morning, the day before by default; you can pick on the day, or 1, 3, 7 or 14 days before, in any combination.
Can I use both?
Yes. Postable can mail a paper card for the dates where you want one, and Greetigo can remind you and have a message ready for the rest.
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.
