How is Greetigo different from Simply Remind Me?
Simply Remind Me is a general reminder service: you set an email, text or phone call for any event. Greetigo is only for people's dates, and each birthday or anniversary reminder comes with a message ready to send or copy: a free template with their name, or an AI-written draft on Plus and Premium.
