Giftbit vs. TruCentive

It's been great to incentivize appointments. I can also see that it would be a good tool to send gifts to existing customers.

TruCentive is well suited for when you wish to send gift cards to large amounts of people quickly, whether it is for a gift or a reward for completing an action. One of the main reasons why our company uses TruCentive is that there is a claiming system in place where the recipients have to claim their gift card in the appropriate amount of time or else the budget set for the gift cards returns to our company. That helps eliminate inefficient use of funds.

• Variety of cards
• Ease of use
• Reasonable pricing

• I didn't love having to buy credits in advance, but since Giftbit recommended how many we'd need to buy, it wasn't terrible.

Incentivized

• Broader range of incentive options
• More detailed help for self management of the platform

When a redemption via the API connected to my community platform provider failed, the support was extremely limited. It was fast but limited. Most common conversations with Giftbit support ended in "unfortunately we cannot help you or your recipient with that issue." I'm not sure if Giftbit deserves 100% of the blame for API issues with Fuel Cycle community platform but the end result is that a user will redeem their points for a reward and would never get it. Once these issues are reported to me, I couldn't help them from the dashboard either as I was unable to review their claim codes, etc. and make it right, resulting in lost $.

I haven't used any products like Giftbit. Since I have enjoyed my experience with Giftbit, I haven't looked into any other platforms that offer the same things.

TruCentive worked so much better for what we're trying to do. We were having major issues with our previous platform - it took more time to fix complaints than anything. It seemed we were shooting ourselves in the foot by even trying to offer lunch or coffee to our webinar attendees. TruCentive took care of this, and we haven't gotten more than a request for a resend since.

Incentivized

• We now have an easy way to do these fulfillments
• It's easy to set up an account
• It alleviates privacy issues on our end

Incentivized

• positive ROI on my incentive lead generation
