Smile.io vs. Tremendous

Tremendous is well suited for businesses giving gift cards to employees as a reward or to research participants as thanks/compensation for their time. It's not like a cash sharing software between friends. It is also best for relatively small amounts of money because the sender runs the risk of sending the reward to the wrong email

• Email and landing page templates easy to create
• Wide variety of gift card options
• Easy to upload recipient lists and distribute
• No fee for most gift card options

Incentivized

• We do not have insight into whether a customer has redeemed a reward or not
• Unredeemed rewards kind of go into a void, we cannot get funds back for unclaimed rewards

They have a lot of rules around spending. You cannot use the card for funds that are greater than the amount you want to spend and do a split payment transaction. This makes it virtually impossible to use all of the funds on the card

Tremendous allowed us for more customization to the email and landing page, Rybbon had their own branding on the email and page which was something we did not want. One of the main selling points for us with Tremendous was the ability to use our own firm's email domain. This allowed us to send an email coming from our firm, so our clients and prospects recognized the domain.

• The fact that it's free to use means Tremendous has had a very positive ROI on our research operations. We've gained much and lost nothing.
