Short answer: pick Giftship if you want gift options in your cart (notes, wrap, dates, a box builder) and multi-address shipping at a low monthly price. Pick Seed if the company wants to hand out printed codes and let each person choose a gift and type their own address. Both prices below were verified 2026-10-15. Giftship prices come from its [App Store listing](https://apps.shopify.com/giftship). Its developer is Gist. ## Price and features, verified 2026-10-15 | | Seed | Giftship | | --- | --- | --- | | Price | Corporate $249/mo or $1,999/yr, 7-day free trial | Micro $29.99/mo, Essential $59.99/mo, Plus $149.99/mo, Enterprise $399.99/mo, plus small per-order charges above 200, 500, 1,000 and 2,500 orders | | Free plan or trial | 7-day free trial, no free plan | No free plan; 7-day free trial on each paid plan | | Model | One shared link plus printed one-time codes (format KRMH-7P2X) | Gift options in the cart, multi-address shipping, box builder, digital gift messages | | Who enters addresses | The recipient types their own address | The shopper enters the recipients' addresses | | Recipient picks the gift | Yes: one gift from a curated set, no prices shown | The shopper builds the gift, or uses the box builder | | Gift codes | Yes, one-time, dies on use | Not mentioned in the listing | | Languages | Every recipient string is translatable | English | | App Store reviews | 5.0 on 3 reviews (we say so plainly) | 4.8 on 269 reviews | ## How each one works Seed works from the recipient's side. The buyer company hands out printed cards, and each card carries one code like KRMH-7P2X. Every recipient opens one permanent shared link, enters the code, picks one gift from a curated set with no prices shown, and types their own address. A real $0 order lands in the merchant's Shopify admin, and the code dies on use. Budgets and gift levels are set per company, codes are tracked with a CSV export, and codes can auto-mint from a paid Shopify order. A Danish gift retailer, [OnlyByGrace](https://www.seedinfluencers.com/case-studies/onlybygrace-corporate-gifting), runs the whole flow in Danish. Giftship is a gift-options app. It adds gift notes, gift wrap, date pickers and upsells to the product page and cart (checkout needs Shopify Plus), ships one order to several recipients, offers a step-by-step box builder, and sends digital gift messages by email or SMS. Multi-address shipping and the Box Builder are add-ons on Micro and included from Essential up. The buyer runs the checkout; recipients do not choose. ## When to pick Giftship - The buyer is a person at a checkout who knows the recipients and their addresses. - You want gift wrap, notes, dates and a box builder inside the normal store experience. - You want the lowest entry price: Micro is $29.99 a month. - You want a bigger review base: 269 reviews at 4.8. ## When to pick Seed - A company is buying for staff or clients, and the buyer will not collect addresses. - Recipients should pick one gift each from a curated set with no prices shown. - You want printed one-time codes, a permanent shared link, budgets per company and a code CSV. - Codes should auto-mint from a paid Shopify order. - You need every recipient-facing word in another language. ## What Seed does not do - Seed does not take an address list from the buyer. The recipient types their own address, so it does not fit a buyer who already has every address in a spreadsheet. - Seed has no multi-address checkout where one shopper pays and ships to many people in one cart. - Seed has 3 App Store reviews. That is a small sample next to the review counts above. ## Where to go next Related: [Seed corporate gifting](https://www.seedinfluencers.com/corporate-gifting), [best corporate gifting apps for Shopify](https://www.seedinfluencers.com/blog/best-corporate-gifting-apps-shopify), and the [OnlyByGrace case study](https://www.seedinfluencers.com/case-studies/onlybygrace-corporate-gifting).
