Hoppier

Hoppier helps organizations distribute digital rewards and payments, including gift cards, prepaid Visa cards, meal credits, and stipends to recipients in more than 60 countries. Senders can let recipients choose gift cards, prepaid Visa cards, charitable donations, or bank transfers, while setting per-person allowances, approved vendors, campaign time limits, and spending caps. Cards arrive by email or link, and recipients do not need an account or app to claim them. Lite is free to start and applies a 5% fee only when funds are sent; it sends digital gift cards only and does not return unused funds. Plus and Unlimited support prepaid Visa and ACH or wire payouts and return 100% of unspent funds to the sender’s balance. Plus Packages cost $5.90 per card, while Unlimited costs $5.00 per user per month. Hoppier lists Salesforce and an MCP connection for Claude and ChatGPT; additional CRM and HRIS integrations are marked as coming soon. Its gift card API is in closed beta. The mobile app lets participants check cards, balances, transaction history, redeem gift cards, add cards to a digital wallet, and contact support.

Hoppier offers several ways to distribute rewards, with campaign controls and recipient choice. Plan selection matters: Lite has narrower payout options and retains unspent funds, while higher plans include additional payout methods and unused-fund returns.

Hoppier suits HR, marketing, and sales teams arranging employee rewards, meal vouchers, stipends, or client gifts. It also fits organizations that want controls over allowances, vendors, timing, and spending caps.

Hoppier is a rewards platform for organizations sending gift cards, meal credits, prepaid Visa cards and stipends to people in more than 60 countries. It is best suited to HR, marketing and sales teams that need campaign spending controls alongside employee rewards or client gifting. Its strongest advantage is control over how rewards are spent; the right plan matters because Lite restricts payouts and keeps unspent funds.

Overview

Hoppier combines a redemption catalog and incentive campaigns with global reward delivery. Administrators can set per-person allowances, approved vendors, time limits and spending caps, which makes it a better fit for managed programs than for teams that simply want to send unrestricted gifts. The recipient limit is 100, so organizations planning larger campaigns should account for that cap.

Key features

Recipients may choose gift cards, prepaid Visa cards, charitable donations or direct bank transfers, but those choices are not available on every plan: Lite sends digital gift cards only, while prepaid Visa and ACH or wire payouts require Plus or Unlimited. For teams that value recipient choice, the broader plans make Hoppier more flexible; Lite is a narrower option for gift-card campaigns.

Cards can be sent by email or link, and recipients do not need an account or app to claim them. Participants using the mobile app can view cards, balances and transaction history, add cards to a digital wallet, redeem gift cards and contact support. The app adds useful account management for recipients, while link and email delivery avoids making app adoption a condition of claiming rewards.

Salesforce and an MCP connection for Claude and ChatGPT are listed. Other CRM and HRIS integrations are coming soon, and HRIS integrations are not currently supported. The gift card REST API is in closed beta; it supports program creation, recipient management, redemption tracking and webhooks, so it is not yet a generally available route for teams building integrations.

Hoppier says it uses commercially reasonable efforts and technical, contractual, administrative and physical measures to protect personal information. Its privacy policy says servers and some subprocessors are in the United States and names Stripe, Supabase, Intercom and Sentry as service providers. Organizations assessing data location and vendor requirements should weigh that handling against their policies.

Pricing

Hoppier is freemium, with paid plans from $5/user/mo. Lite is free to start, with a 5% fee only when sending and no software or monthly fee. It includes digital gift cards from 3,000+ brands in 60+ countries, but not prepaid Visa or bank payouts; it also does not return unused funds. That makes Lite a reasonable starting point for occasional gift-card sends, but the transaction fee and retained balance are material trade-offs.

Hoppier Plus Packages cost $5.90 per card, billed per card, in packs of 100, 300 or 600 (about $590, $1,649 or $3,149). Plus adds gift cards, prepaid Visa, ACH or wire, advanced reporting, saved groups, Salesforce integration, priority chat support in English and Spanish, and returns 100% of unused funds. The pack sizes and per-card billing suit teams budgeting for a defined campaign volume; they are less suited to small, irregular sends.

Unlimited costs $5 per user / month, billed per user / month, and supports reloading and sending at any time. It includes everything in Plus, plus reloadable cards and recurring stipends and allowances, as well as 100% return of unused funds and priority chat support in English and Spanish. It is the clearest fit for ongoing programs with recurring distributions, while the per-user monthly charge may be unnecessary for occasional campaigns. Hoppier lists a phone number for contacting the team.

Platforms

Hoppier supports Android, iOS, web and API. Its participant app covers card and balance management, while the API remains in closed beta.

Who it's for

Hoppier is aimed at HR, marketing and sales teams handling employee rewards, meal vouchers, stipends and client gifting. It is strongest when administrators need controls over vendors and spend and recipients benefit from multiple payout options. Teams that require HRIS integrations now, need more than 100 recipients, or only want simple gift-card delivery should compare its plan limits against their program needs.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Campaign-level allowances, vendor approvals, time limits and spending caps help keep rewards within program rules.
• Pros: Email or link delivery lets recipients claim cards without creating an account or installing an app.
• Pros: Plus and Unlimited return all unspent funds, reducing the risk of leaving campaign money stranded.
• Cons: Lite charges a 5% send fee, limits payouts to digital gift cards and does not return unused funds.
• Cons: Plus requires card packs starting at 100, which may not suit small or unpredictable campaigns.
• Cons: HRIS integrations are not currently supported, and the REST API is in closed beta.

Verdict

Choose Hoppier if your organization runs rewards across countries and needs administrators to set campaign rules, with Plus or Unlimited for payout choice and unused-fund returns. Look elsewhere if HRIS integration is essential today, your audience exceeds 100 recipients, or the Lite plan's 5% fee and gift-card-only payouts do not fit your budget or program.
