Gift Cards vs WooCommerce Memberships

Gift Cards edges out WooCommerce Memberships on rating (4.2★ vs 4.0★), but the gap is small enough that pricing fit and feature differentiation should drive the decision more than the headline number.

Pricing differs significantly: Gift Cards at $79/year vs WooCommerce Memberships at $199/year (WooCommerce Memberships is roughly 2.5x the entry-tier cost of Gift Cards). The pricier tier typically signals deeper feature coverage or higher capacity ceilings; confirm the gap matches your actual feature requirements before treating cost as the deciding factor.

WooCommerce Memberships has the larger user base (150 reviews vs 51), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Gift Cards's smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat.

Recommended by size: small/early-stage store owners who need fast install and low risk should default to Gift Cards; mid-market and enterprise store owners with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — WooCommerce Memberships's 150-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Gift Cards's broader-but-shallower coverage.
