Where BatchCard wins
BatchCard costs less. Starter ($4.99) lists import of new or existing codes, email delivery and bulk resend. Pro ($9.99) lists Klaviyo and Flow, expiry settings, reminders, reports and scheduled delivery. Business ($24.99) is unlimited. If you do not need currency control or customer-list issuing, there is no price argument for our $49 plan.
Where Bulk Gift Cards wins
- Currency. Redemption setting per batch, any currency the store sells in.
- Customer lists. Pro issues from Shopify's Customers page, 250 ticked customers or a 5,000 segment.
- Preview. The CSV upload shows every row before any card exists.

Yes. BatchCard's paid plans are $4.99, $9.99 and $24.99 a month. Bulk Gift Cards Pro is $49 a month. BatchCard's Business plan at $24.99 is also unlimited.
Does BatchCard support multiple currencies?
The listing text we read in October 2026 does not state it, so it is unverified. Ask the developer before you rely on it.

Yes. BatchCard's listing says each 16-digit code is stored when the card is made and can be exported to CSV at any time. Bulk Gift Cards saves every code at creation and exports it as CSV.
