Giffy as an alternative to Pluxee

Short answer: Pluxee (formerly Sodexo Benefits & Rewards) is a large, international employee benefits platform with a wide range of services, from meal and gift solutions to engagement programmes. Giffy specialises in rewards and recognition with a digital choice gift card. If you are looking for a WKR-friendly, personal reward where the recipient chooses from hundreds of brands, with your own branding and no account required, Giffy is a lighter and more personal alternative. If you need a complete, broad benefits package for large international teams, Pluxee may be a better fit.

  • The recipient chooses. Free choice of 200+ brands, a donation to a good cause or prepaid, instead of being tied to a single network.

  • WKR overview. You allocate rewards within the free space of the WKR (Work-related costs scheme) and keep control of what you spend.

  • Own branding. The entire experience, from receipt to redemption, features your logo, colours and themes.

  • Personal and mindful. UK/English support and a B Corp-certified organisation that ensures budgets are spent transparently and accountably.

For whom is Pluxee better?

Are you looking for a broad, structural benefits and engagement package for a large, international organisation under a single provider? Then a company like Pluxee offers a more comprehensive service for that. Giffy deliberately specialises in the rewards and recognition itself, keeping it simple and personal.
