Sigh! These two words often get mixed up. If anybody cares:

COMPLEMENTARY: com·ple·men·ta·ry adjective \ˌkäm-plə-ˈmen-t(ə-)rē\
: completing something else or making it better : serving as a complement

€”used of two things when each adds something to the other or helps to make the other better

: going together well : working well together


whereas

COMPLIMENTARY:


com·pli·men·ta·ry adjective \ˌkäm-plə-ˈmen-t(ə-)rē\
: expressing praise or admiration for someone or something

: given for free
