| How a gift reaches Shopify | Aspire lets you manage shipping from a fulfillment dashboard with tracking. Its pages do not say how orders are created in Shopify. | Each gift is a Shopify draft order at 100% off, so stock goes down and cost is booked like any real order. |
| Creator picks products and sizes | 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. | Yes, with Gift Link. “They pick”: the creator browses your real product pages within your limits (pieces, maximum value, whole store or one collection), with their sizes held. “You pick”: the link opens a cart you filled. No account needed. |
| Creators | ||
| Finding creators | AI creator search and a Creator Marketplace where creators apply to your campaigns. | Look up creators by Instagram handle; the roster remembers sizes, country and tier. Creator discovery (Explore) is coming soon. No creator marketplace. |
| AI assistant | AI creator search in plain language. Other AI features are not published. | Zeedy AI, in the portal: ask in plain words and it prepares seedings, gift links, creators and campaigns for you to confirm with one click. It also tells you what has stalled and what each campaign produced. |
| Data | ||
| Store demand data | Not published. | With the Zeedy pixel on: product views and cart adds by country and by product, where that traffic comes from, and growing markets you have not seeded yet. Aggregate store data, not sales per creator. |
| Reporting | Impact, sales and social dashboards, and a budget ledger. | Spend rolls up by campaign, market and tier, and each campaign reports units and spend by market and store location. Admins see cost and margin; editors and viewers do not. |
| Affiliate and creator payouts | Included. Affiliate links, promo codes and commissions; creators are paid through the platform via PayPal. | Not included: Zeedy does not pay creators or track commissions. |
| Pricing | ||
| Pricing | Not published. You book a demo; terms are set in an order form. | Published. Free (5 seedings a month), then $33, $109 and $279 a month. 14‑day trial, billed through Shopify, no per‑seeding fees. |
| Setup | Demo first, then an order form, with a Customer Success Manager as the main contact. Shopify connects with your Shopify login. | Install from the Shopify App Store. Products, inventory and discounts sync on install. |
