Why organizers love it

Easier for you. Kinder for everyone.

No more chasing

One link, automatic reminders, and you never front the money or hold anyone else's.

Nobody sees who gave what

Each amount stays private, even from you. Everyone gives what they can, and every name counts the same.

They choose their gift

Cash on prepaid Visa, Mastercard or American Express cards (up to $999), gift cards, or a mix of both.

Free to organize

About $1.53 on a $25 gift, card processing included. You choose whether it comes out of the gift or is added on top. See pricing →

Not sure what they'd love? Their Gift Vibe in the app tells you, from their coffee order to their dream experience.

The KadoBook

The part they'll read again and again.

Everyone who chips in can leave a few words. When the pool closes, they open a KadoBook full of them, to read again and keep. It comes with every pool, at no extra cost.
