The short version

  • Only Snappy has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Humu humu was sold in two named editions, Business and Enterprise, with no published figures for either (Internet Archive capture, 16 December 2021); Snappy service fees and shipping sit on top of the gift budget, so the true cost per recipient is meaningfully above the face value you set and is easy to underestimate when budgeting.
  • They diverge on capability: Humu covers AI behavioral coaching, Snappy covers Choice-based gifting.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Humu

  • Humu was sold in two named editions, Business and Enterprise, with no published figures for either (Internet Archive capture, 16 December 2021)

Snappy

  • Service fees and shipping sit on top of the gift budget, so the true cost per recipient is meaningfully above the face value you set and is easy to underestimate when budgeting.
  • The recipient experience is Snappy branded and Snappy curated, so organisations wanting complete control over exactly what their people receive give that up.
  • Catalogue depth varies by country, and recipients outside the main markets get a noticeably thinner choice than United States recipients for the same budget.
  • Choice-based gifting requires the recipient to act, so a proportion never redeem, which saves budget but leaves those people receiving nothing, an outcome HR teams often only notice after the programme has run.
  • The free Essential plan gates the swag catalogue depth, stores and multi-team administration, so any organisation of real size ends up on the paid plan regardless of the headline zero fee.
