Why teams look for a Giftly alternative
It's a cash transfer, not a gift
Giftly lets you suggest a merchant, but recipients redeem the funds as a Visa card, bank transfer, or PayPal deposit. They can spend it anywhere. It feels more like Venmo than a thoughtful gift, which undercuts the entire purpose of corporate gifting.
Redemption takes days, not seconds
Giftly recipients must visit giftly.com, enter a code, choose a payout method, and wait 2-3 days for a bank transfer or up to 14 days for a physical Visa card. Givingli Pro recipients tap a link and choose their gift instantly.
No branded experience
Giftly delivers gifts in their own branding. There's no Brand Kit, no custom logo, no branded card. Your company is invisible in the recipient experience. Givingli Pro puts your brand front and center on every gift.

Why teams choose Givingli Pro over Giftly
A gift experience that builds relationships
Corporate gifting works because it creates an emotional connection. A branded card with your logo, a personal message, and the ability to choose from 400+ brands feels intentional and thoughtful. A cash transfer to someone's bank account does not.
Your brand, not theirs
Every Givingli Pro gift arrives inside your branding via Brand Kit: your logo, your colors, your message. Giftly delivers everything under Giftly's own branding. For sales prospecting and client appreciation, brand visibility is the entire point.
Real CRM integration and automation
Giftly offers scheduling and bulk sending but no CRM integration or trigger-based automation. Givingli Pro sends from your Salesforce sidebar, triggers on deal stages, logs activity to contact records, and tracks pipeline attribution.
Instant redemption, zero friction
Givingli Pro recipients tap a link, see a branded card, choose their gift, and they're done. No codes to enter, no payout methods to choose, no 2-14 day waiting period. The experience takes about 60 seconds.

Why teams are looking for a Giftly alternative in 2026
Giftly has carved out a niche as a consumer-friendly gifting platform with a solid reputation. They've been around for over a decade, have an A+ BBB rating, and thousands of positive reviews on Trustpilot. Their core product lets you send money to someone while suggesting a merchant, and the recipient redeems the funds via Visa card, bank transfer, or PayPal. It's simple, flexible, and works well for personal gifting.
The challenge for corporate use cases is that Giftly's model fundamentally feels like a money transfer rather than a gift. Recipients visit giftly.com, enter a code, choose how they want the cash, and wait 2-3 days for a bank deposit or up to 14 days for a physical Visa card. The suggested merchant is non-binding — they can spend the money anywhere. For personal gifts between friends and family, this flexibility is great. For corporate gifting where brand impression matters, it undercuts the purpose.
Givingli Pro is built specifically for corporate gifting. Every gift arrives inside a branded digital card with your logo, colors, and a personalized message. Recipients choose from 400+ real brand gift cards — Amazon, DoorDash, Starbucks, Nike, local experiences, and charitable donations. The gift is instant, branded, and tangible. It feels like a thoughtful gesture, not a Venmo payment.
The operational differences matter too. Givingli Pro integrates with Salesforce and HubSpot, supports trigger-based automation from CRM events, tracks gift-to-pipeline attribution, and provides full analytics dashboards. Giftly offers scheduling and bulk sending but lacks CRM integration, automated triggers, and pipeline attribution. For teams running gifting as a strategic program rather than one-off sends, the infrastructure gap is significant.
