promokit vs Voucherify

Voucherify is a full promotion platform. promokit is a headless promotions engine. That difference explains almost everything below — including why the entry prices are an order of magnitude apart.

Disclosure: we make promokit. This page is on our own site, so read it accordingly — but every Voucherify number below comes from Voucherify's published pricing page, checked as of July 2026, and there's a full section on when Voucherify is the better choice. Voucherify is an established product; promokit launched in 2026 and we're new. If we've got a number wrong, tell us: info@yagnotech.com.

The published numbers, side by side

One unit warning before the table: the two products meter different things and price in different currencies. Voucherify's published plans meter total monthly API calls and are priced in USD/EUR; promokit meters cart evaluations only (campaign and coupon management calls are not metered) and is priced in CAD. Read the rows with that in mind.

¹ Source: voucherify.io/pricing, as of July 2026. Voucherify prices in USD/EUR; promokit prices in CAD (at mid-2026 rates, $650 USD is roughly $890 CAD — check current rates). If Voucherify has changed its pricing since, their page wins.

Why the price gap is honest, not magic

Voucherify sells an entire promotion department: campaign builders, customer segments, code distribution, referral and loyalty modules, gift cards, integrations into CDPs and email platforms. If your team will use those modules, the price buys real work you won't build.

promokit deliberately does one job: you send a cart, it returns exact numbers. Percent, amount, BOGO, spend-thresholds, coupon codes and stacking rules — evaluated deterministically, in integer cents. No segments, no email journeys, no CRM. Doing less is why it costs less; there's no trick.

What promokit does differently

A deterministic engine you can unit-test. The pricing math is a pure function — no database, no clock, no randomness inside it. The same cart always produces the same result, and per-line discounts are allocated largest-remainder so they always sum exactly to the campaign total. If you've ever reconciled a checkout that was off by a cent, this is the feature.
evaluate vs redeem as first-class verbs. POST /v1/evaluate is a dry run that consumes nothing — call it on every keystroke of the coupon field. POST /v1/redeem commits atomically and is idempotent via idempotencyKey: retries replay the original result and never burn a code twice.
Every rejected code gets a machine-readable reason (campaign_expired, usage caps, minimum spend…), so your checkout can tell the shopper what happened instead of a generic "invalid code".
Integer cents in any currency. Carts carry a currency field and every amount is minor units — no floating point anywhere in the math.

When Voucherify is the better choice

You want the whole platform, not an engine. Referral programs, loyalty modules, gift cards, customer segments and code distribution (email/SMS journeys) are Voucherify modules. promokit has none of those — it prices carts, full stop. (Loyalty is a separate product in our suite, but it is a separate product.)
Marketers run your promotions end-to-end. Voucherify's campaign tooling is built for marketing teams to own targeting and distribution without engineering. promokit's dashboard covers campaign setup and stats, but it assumes a developer wired the checkout.
You need enterprise guarantees. Voucherify publishes an Enterprise tier with custom API limits, private data hosting and premium support, and has years of production history behind it. promokit launched in 2026 — we don't have that track record yet, and we won't pretend otherwise.
You need multiple projects/markets under one contract. Voucherify's plans include 3–5 separate projects with per-project settings. A promokit account is a single workspace today.
You want a long evaluation. Their 60-day trial is genuinely generous; ours is 14 days.

The inverse case — you have a checkout, a developer, and a list of promotions to run — is where paying platform prices for an engine's job stops making sense. That's the gap promokit exists to fill.

Trying it takes one curl

Sign up, mint a key, and POST /v1/evaluate a cart — the API reference has a copy-paste example that returns exact line-level discounts in one call. The 14-day trial runs on Starter quotas with no card.

If promokit can't express one of your promotions, you'll know within an hour — before you've paid anyone anything.
