The GroupGreeting alternative for cards people can hear

GroupGreeting is quick and affordable, and a lot of American offices use it for birthdays and farewells. Thankeeu keeps that speed, one link and everyone signs, then adds what a sticker can’t: voice notes, video, a gift pot people pay into while they sign, and a short film made from the card.

Quick answer

A strong GroupGreeting alternative is Thankeeu: unlimited coworkers sign one link, and every card takes voice notes as well as photos and GIFs. GroupGreeting’s pricing page in October 2026 listed photos, GIFs, stickers and an optional gift card, but no voice or video messages. Thankeeu also pools money from the signers instead of one person buying the gift card.

Why offices look for something beyond GroupGreeting

GroupGreeting does the basics well. Unlimited signatures, unlimited pages, photos, GIFs and stickers, and a PDF copy at the end. For a quick birthday card that is often enough, and we would not tell anyone otherwise.

The search for an alternative usually starts with a moment that text can’t carry. The coworker retiring after twenty years. The teammate on parental leave who wants to hear the office laugh. A manager leaving for another company whose team would rather say goodbye out loud. Thankeeu lets every signer record a voice note on any card, and on the Most Popular card they can add video too.

The other trigger is the gift. On GroupGreeting the gift is a gift card attached to the card, chosen from more than 350 merchants. Someone still has to collect the money for it. On Thankeeu, signers chip in to a gift pot while they sign, and the recipient picks a bank payout or a gift card later.

How pricing compares

GroupGreeting listed a single card at $5.99 in October 2026, with bundles from 10 cards for $54 up to 100 cards for $399, and said unused cards expire 12 months after purchase. Thankeeu sells cards one at a time or as a Pack of Most Popular cards, and Pack credits never expire. Our live prices sit next to the comparison table.

• Classic: Unlimited signers and messages, photos, GIFs and voice notes in a swipeable carousel, ten fonts, a reply to everyone at once, PDF download, scheduled delivery and the gift pot
• Most Popular: Everything in Classic plus video, PDF and Word files, YouTube and TikTok links, thirty fonts, a reply to each message, up to five co admins and the Memory Movie
• Pack: Two or more Most Popular cards at a lower price each, held as credits with no expiry date that can be passed to a coworker’s account

Birthdays, farewells and work anniversaries

A birthday card on Thankeeu can be timed for the start of the coworker’s day in their own time zone, so the person in Phoenix gets it with their morning coffee rather than in the middle of a meeting. See our birthday card page for ideas.

Farewell cards are where voices matter most. People who sat next to someone for years tend to have one story they want to tell properly, and a thirty second voice note does that better than a line of text. The leaving card guide has wording ideas if anyone gets stuck.

Work anniversaries come round every month in a bigger company. If HR wants them to run without anyone remembering, Thankeeu for Teams imports people from BambooHR, Rippling, Gusto and other HR systems and creates the cards automatically.

What a finished Thankeeu card looks like

The recipient opens one link and flips through an album of messages, each with its photos, GIFs and voice notes in a carousel. They can reply to everyone at once, or on Most Popular reply to each person. They can download the whole card as a PDF booklet. On Most Popular, a Memory Movie with music is made from the card after it is delivered.

Signers never need an account. They open the link, write, record or upload, and leave. Reminders go out to people who have not signed yet, so the organizer doesn’t have to chase.

Remote and hybrid teams across the country

Plenty of US teams now have people in four time zones and an office that is half empty on Fridays. A paper card never reaches the remote half, and a chat thread scrolls away before lunch. One Thankeeu link reaches everyone, whether they sign from a laptop in Seattle or a phone on the train in New Jersey.

Voice notes help here more than anywhere. A coworker who has only ever been a face on a video call can send a few warm sentences in their own voice, and the person receiving the card hears how the team actually sounds. Private messages are there too, for the note only the recipient should read.

If you are the one organizing, the dashboard shows who has signed, sends reminders to the rest, and lets up to five co admins help on a Most Popular card, so the job does not land on one person the week of the farewell.

Questions to ask before you switch

Think about the last three cards your office sent. Did anyone want to say something out loud, or share a short clip from a team outing? Did someone spend an evening collecting money for the gift card? Did the bundle of cards expire before you used them? If the answer to any of these is yes, it is worth trying Thankeeu on the next card. If every card was a quick row of written wishes, your current setup may already be fine.

When GroupGreeting is the right call

If your office sends a lot of short text cards and the bundle price per card is what matters most, GroupGreeting’s larger bundles are good value, as long as you use the cards within a year. If you want people to be heard as well as read, a gift that everyone pays into, and a card that turns into a film, Thankeeu is the better fit.

Your first Thankeeu card in four steps

1. Start the card: Pick a cover from more than 500 designs or upload a photo, and add the coworker’s name.
2. Invite the office: Post the link in Slack, Teams or email. No account and no app for anyone signing.
3. Collect voices and gifts: People write, record a voice note, add photos and GIFs, and chip in to the pot if you turned it on.
4. Deliver on time: Choose the exact minute in the recipient’s time zone, or send the link yourself at the party.
