The GroupGreeting alternative that's free to start
GroupGreeting charges per card with no free tier. Cheerfold lets you start free, keeps every message private, and delivers a flip-book keepsake you actually keep.
GroupGreeting is a solid pay-per-card group card with a big design library, but there's no free option and every signer adds to a public card. Cheerfold is free to start, keeps each contribution private until the reveal, and turns the result into a flip-book plus a printable PDF. If price and privacy matter, Cheerfold is the better fit.

Why teams switch
What you get with Cheerfold
Every message stays private
Contributors never see each other's notes, so you get genuine, original words — not copies of the message above. The recipient is the first to read it all.
A flip-book keepsake, not a wall
Messages are delivered as an animated, page-by-page flip-book to open online, plus a printable PDF on paid cards — something to keep, not a link that expires.
Designed for the occasion
Each occasion — farewell, birthday, retirement, work anniversary — has its own design and built-in writing prompts, so the right words come easily.
Video with auto-transcription
Anyone can record a short video right in the browser. We transcribe each one automatically, so the words live on in the printable PDF too.
How it comes together
From idea to keepsake in four steps
No accounts for contributors, no chasing people in a shared doc. Just one link and a beautiful result.
Set up the card
Pick an occasion, add the recipient’s name, and get a shareable link plus your own dashboard — about a minute’s work.
Invite the team privately
Teammates open the link and add a message or video without seeing anyone else’s, so nothing gets spoiled.
Lock it in
Watch the message count climb (never the contents), then close the card whenever the moment’s right.
Hand over the keepsake
The recipient flips through every message page by page — and paid cards add a printable PDF to keep.
Credit where it's due
- Large card and design selection
- Well known for office cards
- Scheduled delivery and enterprise options
The bottom line
GroupGreeting works well if you just need a classic signed card and don't mind paying per card. For a free start, private messages, and a keepsake that lasts, start a Cheerfold card.
