Influencer Gift Form Pricing: What It Actually Costs at Volume

IGF's pricing page tells you the tier names and the order counts. It doesn't tell you what a single gifted order actually costs once you're running real monthly volume, which is the number that actually decides whether a tier is a good deal. Here's the published pricing worked into cost per order at four volumes, plus how it stacks against Seed's own tiers, as of August 2026.

Unlimited$49/mo, unlimited orders$380/mo, unlimited orders
Done-for-you$299/mo, unlimited, managedNot offered

All IGF figures as of August 2026.

1. There's no tier for 6 to 49 orders a month on IGF

IGF's published tiers, as of August 2026, jump straight from a 5-order free plan to a 100-order, $68/mo Growth plan. There's nothing between them. A brand doing 20 or 30 orders a month pays the same $68/mo as a brand doing exactly 100, because the tier is priced for the ceiling, not the floor. Seed's $19/mo Starter tier covers exactly that gap, up to 50 orders a month, before you'd need to move to the unlimited tier.

That gap matters most for a brand in its first few months of gifting, before volume is predictable. A program still figuring out how many creators actually respond and claim a gift shouldn't have to pay for 100 orders of headroom to test 25.

2. Cost per order at 50 orders a month

On Seed's Starter tier, $19/mo across 50 orders works out to $0.38 per gifted order. On IGF, there's no tier that stops at 50, so you're paying for the 100-order Growth tier regardless: $68/mo across 50 actually-used orders works out to $1.36 per order, since you're paying for capacity you're not using.

3. Cost per order at 100 orders a month

Here IGF's Growth tier is exactly sized: $68/mo across 100 orders is $0.68 per order. Seed's Starter tier caps at 50, so 100 orders a month means moving to the $49/mo unlimited tier, which works out to $0.49 per order at that same volume, already cheaper even though the tier has no cap at all.

4. Cost per order past 100, where IGF's second jump hits

This is where the gap widens. At 200 orders a month, IGF requires the $380/mo Business tier (Growth caps at 100), which works out to $1.90 per order. Seed's $49/mo unlimited tier at the same 200 orders is $0.245 per order. At 500 orders a month, IGF's $380/mo Business tier is $0.76 per order; Seed's $49/mo unlimited tier is $0.098 per order. The gap doesn't close as volume grows, it widens, because Seed's unlimited price is fixed at $49/mo regardless of how far past the cap you go.

A hypothetical illustrates the trap at the edge of a tier: say a brand runs a launch month with 110 gifted orders, ten over IGF's Growth cap. That's not a partial upgrade, it's the full jump to the $380/mo Business tier for those ten extra orders, working out to $3.45 per order that month. The same 110 orders on Seed's unlimited tier costs $49/mo total, $0.45 per order, with no tier boundary to cross in the first place.

5. What the free tier is actually for, on either app

Neither free tier is meant to run a real program. Seed's is a 5-order lifetime cap, never resetting; IGF's published free tier is also 5 orders, with no reset cadence confirmed in their own copy that we could find. Either way, treat the free tier as a mechanism test, not a monthly budget: enough orders to see whether the order-creation flow itself, draft order versus discount code, fits how your fulfilment team actually works before you pay for either tier structure. We break that mechanism difference down fully in Seed vs Influencer Gift Form.

A note on annual billing: Seed's Starter and unlimited tiers both have a published annual option: $190/yr for Starter and $490/yr for the unlimited tier, both roughly a 17% discount against paying monthly. Worked into cost per order, the unlimited tier at $490/yr ($40.83/mo effective) drops the per-order cost at 200 orders a month to about $0.20, versus $0.245 paying monthly. We haven't found a published annual option in IGF's own pricing copy, so this isn't a like-for-like comparison, just Seed's own numbers for anyone weighing the annual commitment against a month-to-month plan.

Where IGF wins on price

There's exactly one volume band where IGF's arithmetic holds up against Seed's: right at 100 orders a month, if a discount-code checkout already fits your workflow better than a draft order. At that specific point the $0.68 versus $0.49 per-order gap is small enough that the mechanism fit can reasonably outweigh the price difference. Below or above that number, the arithmetic tilts further toward Seed the further you move.

What we do not claim

This arithmetic assumes both apps' published tier limits hold exactly as documented; we haven't tested IGF's billing or overage behavior ourselves. We're not claiming either tool's price predicts your post rate or campaign outcome, only what a single order costs to create. And we're using Seed's own published prices from our fuller cost breakdown of influencer gifting, not an estimate.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Influencer Gift Form cost?

As of August 2026: free for 5 orders, $68/mo for 100 orders on the Growth tier, and $380/mo for unlimited orders on the Business tier.

What does a gifted order actually cost on IGF at 100 orders a month?

$68/mo divided across 100 orders works out to $0.68 per order, as of August 2026, assuming you use the full 100-order allowance on the Growth tier.

Is Seed cheaper than IGF?

At every volume we ran the arithmetic for (50, 100, 200, and 500 orders a month), Seed's per-order cost came out lower, because Seed's $49/mo unlimited tier has no second price jump the way IGF's does between its 100-order and unlimited tiers.

Why does IGF jump from $68 to $380?

IGF's published tiers, as of August 2026, go from a 100-order Growth tier straight to an unlimited Business tier with no step in between. A brand doing 150 or 300 orders a month has to buy the $380 tier to cover volume it's only using a fraction of at the low end of that range.

Do Seed's paid tiers all include the same features?

Yes. Every Seed paid tier ships every feature; the tiers differ on order volume only. You're not trading functionality away to get a lower monthly price.

What does Seed's free tier actually get me?

5 orders, as a lifetime trial cap rather than a monthly allowance. Enough to run one small test and see whether the mechanism fits your workflow before you commit to a paid tier.
