Free Gifts vs Smart Coupons

Free Gifts and Smart Coupons are evenly matched on rating (4.5★ vs 4.4★) — the differentiator comes down to pricing fit, feature breadth, and which app's interaction pattern suits your team's workflow.

Pricing is noticeably different: Free Gifts at $79/year vs Smart Coupons at $129/year (~63% premium on the entry tier). For early-stage store owners the cheaper tier is the lower-risk starting point; mid-market store owners should compare the specific capacity gates the higher tier unlocks before treating the premium as justified.

Smart Coupons has the larger user base (234 reviews vs 36), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Free Gifts's smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat.

Recommended evaluation path: install both apps' free tiers (where available) and run them in parallel on a small cohort for 7-14 days before committing. The data tables below show the per-feature breakdown — for most store owners the deciding factor will be a single integration or workflow detail that's hard to compare from listing pages alone.
