Zeedy and Aspire, compared
| Topic | Zeedy | Aspire |
|---|---|---|
| How a gift reaches Shopify | Each gift is a Shopify draft order at 100% off, so stock goes down and cost is booked like any real order. | Aspire lets you manage shipping from a fulfillment dashboard with tracking. Its pages do not say how orders are created in Shopify. |
| Creator picks products and sizes | Yes, with Gift Link. In “They pick” mode the creator browses your real product pages within your limits (pieces, maximum value, whole store or one collection) and their sizes are held while they choose. In “You pick” mode the link opens a cart you already filled. No creator account needed. | Yes, with approval. With “Creator Product Selection” creators choose from a catalog limited by collections, number of items and value, and you accept, edit or reject each request. |
| Pricing | Published. Free (5 seedings a month), Starter $49, Growth $149, Scale $299 per month. 14-day trial, billed through Shopify, no per-seeding fees. | Not published. You book a demo; terms are set in an order form. |
| Setup | Install from the Shopify App Store. Products, inventory and discounts sync on install. | Demo first, then an order form, with a Customer Success Manager as the main contact. Shopify connects with your Shopify login. |
| Finding creators | Look up a creator by Instagram handle and keep them in a roster that remembers sizes, country and tier. No creator marketplace. | AI creator search and a Creator Marketplace where creators apply to your campaigns. |
| Affiliate and creator payouts | Not included. Zeedy does not pay creators or track affiliate commissions. | Included. Affiliate links, promo codes and commissions; creators are paid through the platform via PayPal. |
| Reporting | Spend rolls up by campaign, market and tier, and each campaign reports units and spend by market and store location. | Impact, sales and social dashboards, and a budget ledger. |
Which one fits
Aspire is the better choice if…
- You want inbound applications from a creator marketplace and AI-assisted discovery at scale.
- Affiliate commissions, content usage rights and creator payments need to live in the same tool as gifting.
- You sell on WooCommerce as well as Shopify, or want a dedicated Customer Success Manager.
Zeedy is the better choice if…
- You want to see the price before talking to anyone, and to start free.
- Creators should pick on your own product pages, with sizes held while they choose and no approval step for gifts inside your limits.
- You want gifts as Shopify draft orders at 100% off, so stock and cost are booked like any order.
