How does CompleteGreet compare to GreetWP on pricing?
CompleteGreet uses flat monthly billing based on unique visitors, while GreetWP sells as a one time plugin license. That difference shapes everything else about cost.
CompleteGreet BUILD runs $29 per month when billed yearly, or $36 month to month. That covers 5,000 unique visitors, 1 website, and 2 bubbles or videos. Higher tiers scale to 30,000 visitors at $99 per month, with custom pricing beyond that. The bill never surprises you: if you stay under your visitor cap, the price stays fixed.
GreetWP lists on CodeCanyon for a one time $20 purchase, discounted from $29.
That $20 gets you the plugin files and six months of support from the developer, ThemeAtelier. The listing describes a one time purchase for lifetime use, with extra support access available for an additional fee after the included support period.
Most teams miss the math here.
A $20 one time fee sounds cheaper than $29 per month. But GreetWP is WordPress only. If you run Shopify, Webflow, Squarespace, or a custom site, it will not fit that setup. CompleteGreet works across those platforms with the same script snippet.
Support matters too. CodeCanyon plugin support is ticket based with response times that vary by developer workload. CompleteGreet includes a dedicated onboarding session and ongoing chat support in every plan.
The break even point depends on your timeline. At $29 per month, CompleteGreet costs $348 in year one when billed yearly. GreetWP costs $20 plus any optional support renewals. If you need the tool for more than a year and value hosting, onboarding, and cross platform flexibility, the SaaS model can make sense. If you need a low cost video bubble on one WordPress site for a short campaign, the plugin might be enough.
One more detail: the billing logic is different. GreetWP is a one time plugin purchase. CompleteGreet counts unique visitors, not video plays or widget loads. That means a visitor who watches your greeting three times in one session counts once. Most teams prefer this because traffic spikes do not trigger surprise overage bills.
For most businesses, CompleteGreet is the safer default. Predictable monthly cost, broad platform support, and included support beat a low one time price that locks you into WordPress and charges extra for help.
Which one is better for website trust and lead generation?
CompleteGreet has the stronger fit for cross platform trust and lead generation. The difference shows in how the tools are used.
Across six live implementations, inquiry volume increased between 43% and 70%. Average increase sits at roughly 53%. One implementation logged a 17% conversion rate lift. Local businesses have seen booking increases of 42%. These results come from the video bubble format, which follows visitors across pages and fires contextually based on behavior.
GreetWP is a WordPress plugin. The CodeCanyon listing includes WordPress specific display options, including page level controls and WooCommerce product page options. That is useful if you live inside WordPress. CompleteGreet applies URL rules across platforms, so visitors on pricing pages can see different messages than blog readers even outside WordPress.
Time on site grew between 19% and 33% across implementations. Bubbles keep visitors engaged without interrupting the browsing flow. Mobile performance still matters. CompleteGreet handles video hosting and compression, while a self hosted WordPress plugin depends more on how your site, server, and media files are configured.
Entry pricing reinforces the lead generation edge. CompleteGreet BUILD is $29 per month when billed yearly, or $36 month to month, for 5,000 unique visitors per month. You do not pay per video play. Every visitor sees the greeting.
WordPress only shops should consider GreetWP only if they need a basic greeting with no expansion plans. For every other scenario, CompleteGreet is the safer default.
Which one is easier to set up?
CompleteGreet takes under five minutes on most platforms, and it works on all of them.
WordPress users install the plugin directly from the admin dashboard or paste a single script into the theme header. Shopify store owners add the app from the marketplace. Wix, Squarespace, and Webflow each have their own integration paths, and custom sites just need that same JavaScript snippet dropped before the closing body tag.
The dashboard walks you through recording or uploading your video, choosing between a corner bubble or full popup, and setting display rules like “show only on pricing pages” or “delay five seconds after page load.”
GreetWP only runs on WordPress.
That means teams on Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, or anything custom cannot use it directly. For WordPress sites, GreetWP setup follows the normal plugin path: buy and download the plugin, upload the ZIP or install it through WordPress, activate it, then configure videos, buttons, and display rules inside the WordPress admin.
One friction point most teams miss: GreetWP becomes part of the WordPress plugin stack. That means theme, caching, and core update compatibility are part of your maintenance work. CompleteGreet loads through a script, so most of the widget setup sits outside the WordPress plugin stack.
Platform breadth matters more than most buyers realize. Teams sometimes migrate from WordPress to Shopify or add a Webflow landing page after launch. With CompleteGreet, the widget can move with you. With GreetWP, a platform switch means replacing the WordPress plugin setup.
The setup difference is simple. CompleteGreet gives you a script that works across platforms. GreetWP gives you a plugin built for WordPress. If you later move away from WordPress, the CompleteGreet setup is easier to carry over.
The verdict: who should choose which?
CompleteGreet is the better fit for businesses that want video greetings to work across platforms. The flat pricing by unique visitors, the 5 minute setup on most platforms, and the 43% to 70% inquiry lift seen across live implementations make it the safer bet when the goal is website trust and lead capture.
Choose CompleteGreet if you run on Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, or WordPress and want one tool that moves with you if you switch platforms. The BUILD plan at $29 per month when billed yearly covers 5,000 unique visitors and 2 video bubbles, which is enough for most small businesses to test and prove value before scaling.
GreetWP makes sense if you are committed to WordPress and want a one time plugin purchase. The tradeoff is portability. If you later need the same video widget on a landing page built elsewhere, or you want reporting outside WordPress, CompleteGreet is easier to reuse.
One implementation measured a 17% conversion rate lift and another saw a 42% booking increase. Those results come from tools that ship fast and stay out of the way. CompleteGreet is built for that purpose. GreetWP is a narrower WordPress only alternative, so it keeps your video widget inside one platform and inside WordPress compatibility checks.
Start with CompleteGreet if you want a video greeting tool that works beyond WordPress. The script based approach loads asynchronously and keeps the setup portable. GreetWP is a reasonable narrow fit when the priority is a one time WordPress plugin purchase and you are comfortable managing video files inside WordPress.
Choosing between video greeting tools depends on how pricing scales with traffic and how quickly a team can deploy without developer resources.
GreetWP’s CodeCanyon listing shows a one time plugin purchase and WordPress only feature set. That makes it useful for a specific WordPress setup, but less flexible for teams that use more than one platform.

Pricing transparency and predictability
CompleteGreet uses flat pricing based on unique visitors per month, which means costs stay stable regardless of how many times a visitor watches a video. This model avoids the billing volatility that comes with pricing based on video plays or views.
GreetWP uses a one time CodeCanyon purchase model rather than visitor based billing. That can be attractive for one WordPress site, but it does not include CompleteGreet style visitor tiers, hosted video, or the same cross platform setup.
Setup speed and technical requirements
CompleteGreet handles installation in under five minutes on most platforms including Shopify, WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, and custom HTML or JavaScript frameworks. The widget loads asynchronously to minimize impact on page speed scores.
Teams concerned with Core Web Vitals can reference Google Web Vitals guidance when evaluating how any video widget affects loading performance.
CompleteGreet works well for sites that need a trust building video bubble without much configuration. The flat pricing based on visitors and broad platform support remove the typical friction that slows down widget deployment.
Teams should consider GreetWP if they specifically want a one time WordPress plugin purchase and are comfortable with self hosted video. For broader website stacks, CompleteGreet BUILD at $29 per month when billed yearly offers a faster path to portable video greetings.
Common questions
Which is cheaper for a small business: CompleteGreet or GreetWP?
CompleteGreet BUILD costs $29 per month when billed yearly, or $36 month to month, for 5,000 unique visitors. GreetWP is a one time purchase on CodeCanyon with lifetime use, so the total cost depends on how long you run the widget. Over two years, CompleteGreet costs $696 while GreetWP stays at its single purchase price. CompleteGreet includes hosting, onboarding, and support in that price, while GreetWP uses self hosted video inside WordPress.
Can I use GreetWP on my Shopify store or only on WordPress?
GreetWP only works on WordPress. It is a WordPress plugin sold on CodeCanyon and cannot be installed on Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, or custom HTML sites. CompleteGreet works on all of those platforms plus WordPress, with a simple embed code that installs in under five minutes regardless of what platform you use. If you ever migrate away from WordPress, the GreetWP setup cannot move with you in the same way.
How long does it take to set up CompleteGreet compared to GreetWP?
CompleteGreet setup takes under five minutes on most platforms. You paste one line of code into your site header and upload your video through the dashboard. GreetWP requires installing a WordPress plugin, configuring settings in your admin panel, uploading self hosted video files, and checking that the widget behaves correctly with your theme and other plugins.
Do I need to host my own videos with GreetWP or does it include hosting?
GreetWP requires self hosted videos in MP4 or WebM format. You upload the video files to your own WordPress media library or server, which consumes your storage and bandwidth. CompleteGreet includes video hosting in all plans. You upload directly to CompleteGreet servers and the widget streams from their CDN. This eliminates storage limits on your hosting plan and ensures faster load times regardless of your web host quality.
Which tool is better for generating leads on a service business website?
CompleteGreet is built for trust and lead generation through video greetings. Across six live implementations, inquiry volume increased between 43% and 70%, with one local business measuring a 42% booking increase. GreetWP includes forms and WhatsApp integration, but its primary focus is displaying video bubbles rather than optimizing for conversion outcomes. CompleteGreet bills by unique visitors, so replay views do not count against your limit, making it more predictable for high engagement campaigns.
What happens to my video widgets if I switch from WordPress to another platform?
With GreetWP, the widget setup stays tied to WordPress. The plugin only functions on WordPress, so migrating to Shopify, Webflow, or a custom site means rebuilding that setup on the new platform. CompleteGreet works on any platform with the same embed code, so switching your website builder does not affect your widgets. You simply paste the code into your new site header and your video greetings continue running without reconfiguration.
Does CompleteGreet work on WordPress or do I need GreetWP for that?
CompleteGreet works on WordPress. You install it by adding the embed code to your theme header or using a header/footer script plugin. Many WordPress users choose CompleteGreet over GreetWP specifically because they want the freedom to switch platforms later or already run multiple sites on different platforms. GreetWP is mainly for WordPress users who prefer a one time payment model over subscription pricing and do not need the widget on other platforms.
Is GreetWP a good choice if I only have a WordPress site and want to avoid monthly fees?
GreetWP fits that specific scenario. The one time CodeCanyon purchase means no recurring subscription. Just remember you will use your own WordPress hosting for video storage and bandwidth, and the setup stays tied to WordPress. CompleteGreet costs $29 per month yearly for BUILD, which includes hosting and works everywhere. If you value avoiding monthly bills above platform flexibility, GreetWP is the narrow fit. Most businesses prefer CompleteGreet for its broader platform support and included hosting.
