You want your photo kept for good, or a gift feed. Both sites keep a gift until the sender deletes it, but Open a Gift deletes photos after 30 days and has no feed of past gifts; gifft.me keeps photos and shows gifts in a feed.
You want text replies, notifications or an app. gifft.me lets the recipient write back, notifies the sender and has an Android app. Open a Gift has an optional Yes/No answer instead, shown on your manage link, and no app.
You need a language other than English or Spanish. gifft.me has 21.
No ads on the gift, no account for anything. Every feature works without signing up, for you and for them, and the gift itself carries no ads and no watermark.
More ways to open it. 15 reveals, from a gift box and a scratch card to candles they blow out with the microphone, a snow globe, a sky lantern and a music box, plus an unlock date with a countdown and clue questions they answer first.
Private by design. Only people with the link can open a gift, photos are deleted after 30 days, and you can delete the whole gift from your private manage link at any time.
All five side by side, with sign-up and ad details: best free virtual gift websites, compared.
Open a Gift is a free website for sending a virtual gift by link: a message, an optional photo and voice message inside an interactive reveal (15 reveals, 14 card designs) that the recipient opens in their browser. It is free to create, send and open. There is no signup and no app for either side, and no watermark on the gift. Gifts are private: only people with the link can open one. The link keeps working until the sender deletes the gift; photos and voice messages are stored for 30 days, then deleted. It opens in any phone or desktop browser, straight from WhatsApp, iMessage, email or any chat.
Open a Gift works the same way (a photo and a message inside something they open from a link) with no ads on the gift, no signup for any feature and 15 opening effects. AISkyLa Gifting, GiftFeels and Surprises.gift are other options; the table above shows how they differ.
Yes, with ads. Its free gifts show ads to the person opening them, and it sells one-time credits for ad-free gifts, from $0.90 for one gift when we checked.
It depends on what you need. Choose gifft.me for photos kept for good, a gift feed, text replies or an Android app. Choose Open a Gift for no ads on the gift, no account for anything, more ways to open it, a voice message and a Yes/No question; its gifts also stay until you delete them, though photos are removed after 30 days.
No. The gift and its link stay until the sender deletes it. Photos are the exception: they are deleted 30 days after creation, and the gift then opens as a text card. The recipient can save the photo from the opened card before then.
No. This page is written by Open a Gift, a competitor, so check the facts on gifft.me's own pages before you decide. We note when each fact was checked.
