Giftbit vs Rewardian

Giftbit is a business platform and API for sending digital rewards, incentives, and payouts. Teams can distribute rewards in bulk by email or direct link, or use the API for programmatic delivery and automation. Its catalog spans 1,500+ brands in 40+ countries, with prepaid cards supported in 150+ countries. Tracking indicates whether rewards were sent, delivered, opened, claimed, or remain outstanding. Teams can tailor branding, messages, delivery details, and recipient brand choices. Zapier connects Giftbit with apps including Slack, SurveyMonkey, Mailchimp, Google Sheets, Salesforce, and HubSpot. The free reward program has no subscription, platform, or minimum fees; customers pay reward face value, a 2.9% credit card funding fee, and fees for select prepaid cards. API usage has no fees, and a free Testbed sandbox provides a virtual balance for testing. Giftbit lists customer and employee incentives as well as academic, market, and UX research among its use cases. It excludes some program types, including alcohol, gambling, cryptocurrency, and consumer resale.
