Gia's Giraffes vs Goody
Goody and Gia's Giraffes work the same way in the basics: you're charged only when the recipient accepts, the recipient chooses without seeing a price and enters their own address, there's a free plan and no annual contract.[1][2][3] The differences are in the details: Gia's Giraffes is built for sales teams, with HubSpot and Pipedrive sync built in rather than through Zapier, no processing fee: one all-in price per gift, and a cheaper pick costing you less on your card rather than leaving account credit.
Who should choose Goody
- Teams that send outside the US. Goody's Pro plan ships to 140+ countries.[2] We ship to US addresses only.
- HR and people teams. Goody connects to 30+ HR systems on its Team plan and automates birthdays and anniversaries.[3][4]
- Teams that want a broad catalog in one place. Goody lists 600+ premium brands, digital gift cards on Pro, on-demand swag and charity gifts.[2][10]
- Salesforce teams that want an AppExchange app. Goody has a Salesforce AppExchange app (Team plan, per G2).[5]
- Buyers who want a large, established vendor. Goody says it's trusted by 25,000+ companies.[10] It's rated 4.8/5 from 296 reviews on G2.[5]
Who should choose Gia's Giraffes
- Reps on HubSpot or Pipedrive. Pro connects to HubSpot, Salesforce and Pipedrive directly and logs every gift step (sent, opened, accepted, shipped, delivered, thank-you) on the contact. Goody's HubSpot connection is a Zapier template, and we found no Goody integration for Pipedrive.[6]
- Sales teams prospecting with gifts. Pro includes unlimited GG Links (one link, many claims, with lead capture), meeting-unlock gifts through Calendly, Cal.com or HubSpot Meetings, and gift activity on your CRM timeline, all for $19.99 per user per month. Goody's Calendly meeting requirement is on its Team plan, which is quoted.[3]
- Senders who want the cheaper pick to cost less. When a recipient picks something under your budget, we charge your card that lower price. Goody puts the difference on your account balance as credit.[2]
- Senders who don't want fees on top. No processing fee: one all-in price per gift (product, shipping and tax). Goody's API prices an order with a separate processing fee, plus shipping and tax.[7]
- Senders who want lost or damaged gifts handled for them. Pro includes a delivery guarantee: a lost or damaged gift is replaced right away at no charge, and we handle the claim with the brand.
