Visit Warm Welcome

What is heyly.io?

heyly.io is a video greeting widget for your website. You record a 30-second hello (in browser or upload an MP4), choose up to 5 action buttons (book a call, WhatsApp, see pricing, LinkedIn, email), and paste one script tag into your site. The bubble plays once per visitor, stays out of the way, and tracks views/plays/clicks in a real-time dashboard. Built in the EU. GDPR-friendly. Under 30KB. Free forever for one site.

What is Warm Welcome?

Warm Welcome is a personal-video suite. It bundles a website video greeting bubble with two other tools: personal video emails (record and send like Bonjoro) and on-demand screen recordings (record a Loom-style walkthrough for a specific lead). The website bubble is one feature inside a larger product. Pricing reflects the breadth — paid plans start higher because you're paying for three tools, not one.

Decision by scenario

Which tool fits which use case

You're a solo consultant or coach

You have a one-page service site, no sales team, and you want visitors to know what you sound like before they book.

→ Pick heyly.io

You only need one feature (the website video greeting). Paying for two extra tools (email video + screen rec) is wasted budget.

You run a B2B sales motion with personal outreach

You send personal video emails to inbound leads, schedule screen-recorded walkthroughs for hot prospects, and want a website bubble too.

→ Pick Warm Welcome

Warm Welcome's bundle (web + email + screen rec) is exactly your workflow. Buying three separate tools costs more.

You run a small e-commerce store

Your visitors land on a product page and you want them to see you (the founder) before adding to cart. No outreach motion.

→ Pick heyly.io

Single focused job. Lighter page weight matters for e-comm conversion (Google measures Core Web Vitals on product pages).

You're an agency selling services

Your homepage needs a founder video, AND you reply to lead inquiries with personal video emails AND you send screen-recorded proposals.

→ Pick Warm Welcome

Warm Welcome covers all three jobs. Or: heyly.io for the site + Loom + Bonjoro stack — depends on what you're paying for those today.

You're page-speed obsessed (SEO-led business)

Every KB matters because Core Web Vitals affect rankings and conversion.

→ Pick heyly.io

Under 30KB and async-loaded is hard to beat. Heavier suites are a tradeoff.

FAQ

Common questions: heyly.io vs Warm Welcome

Is heyly.io a clone of Warm Welcome?

No — they're in the same neighbourhood (personal video for the web) but solve different scopes. Warm Welcome is a suite: web bubble + email video + screen recording. heyly.io is the web bubble done as a focused single product. If you only need the bubble, the focused product is cheaper, lighter, and faster to learn.

Can I use heyly.io and Warm Welcome together?

Technically yes (different script tags, different domains), but it doesn't make sense — you'd have two video bubbles fighting for the corner. Pick one for the website. You could keep Warm Welcome for the email/screen-rec features and use heyly.io for the bubble specifically, but most teams find that confusing.

Why is heyly.io cheaper?

Because it does one job. Warm Welcome's price covers three tools (web bubble + email video + screen recording). If you only need the bubble, you're paying for two products you won't use.

What about Bonjoro? Isn't it similar?

Bonjoro is the 1:1 personal video email tool that Warm Welcome competes with directly. heyly.io and Bonjoro are different categories — Bonjoro is for outbound (one video per lead, sent via email), heyly.io is for the website (one video, seen by everyone who visits). We have a separate comparison page for Heyly vs Bonjoro.

How do I record my first heyly.io video?

You record it in the browser — click record, talk for up to 90 seconds, click stop. Or upload an MP4 if you'd rather use your phone or a different tool. The whole setup (record + buttons + install) takes about 2 minutes.

What if I outgrow heyly.io?

Honestly, most users don't. The Pro plan ($19/mo) unlocks up to 3 videos (swap by page), unlimited views, custom branding, and analytics. If you grow into needing personal video emails or screen recordings, you can add Bonjoro / Loom / Vidyard alongside heyly.io. The bubble doesn't conflict.

Ready to try heyly.io?

2 minutes to record. 30 seconds to swap. Zero developers.

Free forever for one site. No credit card. Upgrade to Pro when you're ready for more.

We use a small amount of browser storage and basic analytics to remember whether you've seen the video greeting and to count widget loads. No third-party trackers, no profiles. Read more.
