Comparison
Bulk Gift Cards vs Givy for Shopify
Givy is a full gifting suite with multi-currency support and a percentage fee on every card. Bulk Gift Cards is flat-fee bulk creation. Which one depends on how much value you issue.
Updated 2026-08-11
Short answer
Givy is much more app: gift wrapping, product gifting, subscription gifting and corporate vouchers, plus real multi-currency support and 50 five-star reviews. It also has no free plan and charges 1 to 2 percent of gift card value on top of $14 to $99 a month, until you reach the $249 Enterprise tier. Bulk Gift Cards does bulk creation, migration and export only, on a flat $49 a month with nothing taken from card value. The crossover is around $16,000 of gift cards issued per month.

Two different products with one overlapping feature
Givy is a gifting platform. Bulk Gift Cards is a bulk creation tool. They overlap on one feature, and if that feature is all you need, the price difference is large.
Givy earns its 50 five-star reviews. Gift wrapping, product gifting, subscription gifting, corporate vouchers, and genuine multi-currency support are a lot of product, and if you want customers buying gifts through your storefront, we do not compete with that and are not trying to.
The percentage fee is the whole conversation
Givy charges a percentage of the value of gift cards created through the app: 2 percent on the $14 Intro plan, 1.5 percent on $49 Basic, 1 percent on $99 Growth, and zero on $249 Enterprise.
That structure is fine when volume is low and brutal when it is not.
| Gift card value issued per month | Givy Intro ($14 + 2%) | Givy Enterprise ($249 flat) | Bulk Gift Cards ($49 flat) |
|---|---|---|---|
| $2,000 | $54 | $249 | $49 |
| $10,000 | $214 | $249 | $49 |
| $25,000 | $514 | $249 | $49 |
| $50,000 | $1,014 | $249 | $49 |
| $100,000 | $2,014 | $249 | $49 |
One corporate order of 500 cards at $50 is $25,000. One holiday campaign is often more. The percentage does not feel like anything until the month it does.
Where we are actually better
Flat pricing, and a free plan that includes the full import, preview, currency and export flow so you can prove the workflow before spending anything.
Code export. Givy’s listing does not mention exporting gift card codes as CSV, which matters because Shopify permanently masks codes after creation. If you are producing a code list for a print vendor or a corporate client, confirm this with Givy before you commit.
Where Givy is actually better
Almost everything else. Breadth of gifting features, review history, and a storefront experience we do not build.
Which to install
Pick Givy if you want a gifting storefront, if gift wrapping and product gifting are part of the plan, or if your monthly gift card value stays below roughly $16,000 and you would rather pay $14 than $49.
Pick Bulk Gift Cards if what you need is bulk creation, migration and a code list, if you issue enough value that a percentage fee stings, or if you want to test the whole flow on a free plan first.
If you are still deciding what you need, the bulk gift cards guide walks through the whole category.
Frequently asked questions
Does Givy have a free plan?
No. Givy's cheapest plan is $14 a month plus 2 percent of the value of gift cards created through the app, with a 7-day trial. Bulk Gift Cards has a permanently free plan at 20 cards per batch.
How much does Givy's percentage fee actually cost?
It scales with what you issue. On the $14 Intro plan at 2 percent, $10,000 of gift cards issued in a month costs $214. At $50,000 it costs $1,014. The Enterprise tier at $249 a month removes the percentage entirely, which is why high-volume Givy customers end up there.
At what point is Givy cheaper than Bulk Gift Cards?
Below roughly $16,000 of gift card value issued per month, Givy Intro at $14 plus 2 percent costs less than $49 flat. Above that, the flat fee wins and the gap widens fast. A single 500-card corporate order at $50 each is $25,000, which puts you past the crossover in one afternoon.
Which one supports multiple currencies?
Both. Givy and Bulk Gift Cards by Win-Win Apps are the only two apps in the Shopify bulk gift card category that mention multi-currency gift cards on their listings.
Should I use Givy if I want a gift card storefront?
Probably yes. Givy covers gift wrapping, product gifting, subscription gifting and corporate vouchers, which Bulk Gift Cards does not attempt. If you want customers buying and sending gifts through your storefront, Givy is the more complete product.
