Why Peoplewisher
People stay where they feel remembered.
Peoplewisher turns birthdays, anniversaries and milestones into a celebration program that runs itself, so every employee, customer and member feels seen on their day. Without spreadsheets. Without anyone having to remember.
- Free for up to 50 people
- Every feature on every paid plan
- Live in an afternoon
The problem
Forgetting someone’s day costs more than you think.
Recognition is one of the strongest, cheapest retention levers there is. But when it depends on someone’s calendar, it’s the first thing that slips.
45%
Well-recognised employees were 45% less likely to have left their organisation two years later.
52%
of employees who quit say their manager or organisation could have done something to keep them.
0.5–2×
a person’s annual salary is what it can cost to replace them, before lost morale and know-how.
65%
Employees getting high-quality recognition were 65% less likely to be looking for another job.
481%
more transactions per email from birthday emails than from standard promotional emails.
5–25×
more expensive to win a new customer than to keep an existing one, depending on the industry.
What’s different
Everything a great celebration needs. On autopilot.
It remembers, so nobody has to.
Birthdays, work anniversaries, wedding anniversaries and milestones for everyone you celebrate. Import a spreadsheet, your phone contacts or your HR and CRM tools once, and Peoplewisher checks every day and sends on time, in your time zone.
- Import from CSV, Excel, vCard, HubSpot, BambooHR and more
- Share a form link so people add their own dates
- A daily check flags missing phone numbers before the day

A message that sounds like you wrote it.
Every person gets their name, their age, their details. Turn on special personal messages and Peoplewisher AI writes a different greeting for every person, in your tone of voice, before their day. You can read and edit any of them.
- Templates with {firstname}, {age}, {job_title} and custom fields
- Read or edit any message before the day
- Your own templates are always the backup

Compared
Spreadsheets remember dates. Peoplewisher remembers people.
Most teams start with a shared calendar or a mail-merge tool. Here’s what changes when celebrations get their own system.
| What you get | Spreadsheet & reminders | Generic email tool | Peoplewisher |
|---|---|---|---|
| Remembers every date automatically | Partly | Partly | Yes |
| Personal message for every person (AI) | No | No | Yes |
| WhatsApp, SMS, Slack, Teams and social, not just email | No | No | Yes |
| Personalised graphics with each person’s photo | No | No | Yes |
| Gifts sent on the day | No | No | Yes |
| Warns you before a greeting can’t go out | No | Partly | Yes |
| Built for staff, customers and members | Partly | Partly | Yes |
| Time to run each month | Hours | Hours | Minutes |
