Alyce by Sendoso Alternatives: The Right Answer Depends on What You Are Building
If you used Alyce for B2B outbound gifting and are looking for a replacement now that Sendoso has acquired it and is migrating users to a different platform, RealGifts is probably not your answer. This page will point you toward the tools that are actually built for that job. If you run a platform (a dating app, gaming platform, community app, or enterprise software product) and want to add real physical gifting as a native feature your users can send to each other, then keep reading. That is exactly what RealGifts is built for, and it is a different category from Alyce entirely.
What Alyce by Sendoso was built for
Alyce was a B2B corporate gifting platform for sales and marketing teams running outbound prospecting, ABM campaigns, and customer success programs. Its signature feature was "Power-of-Choice": a recipient could accept the gift a sender chose, swap it for something else from the Alyce marketplace, or donate the gift value to charity. Alyce also used AI to infer a recipient's personal interests from publicly available profile data and recommend gifts most likely to resonate. Deep integrations with Salesforce, HubSpot, Outreach, 6sense, and 90+ other CRM and martech tools let teams trigger gift sends automatically from their existing outbound workflows.
In February 2024, Sendoso acquired Alyce and rebranded it "Alyce by Sendoso." Sendoso subsequently published migration documentation with 8-to-10 week timelines for moving users, inventory, and integrations to the Sendoso platform. In April 2025, Sendoso also acquired Postal.io, consolidating three corporate gifting platforms under one roof. Alyce users are being migrated to Sendoso, which is a different product with different pricing. The historical platform fee for Alyce was $22,250 to $60,450 per year (per Vendr contract data), plus a separate gift budget on top.
If you need an Alyce replacement for B2B outbound gifting
RealGifts is not a corporate outbound gifting tool and does not compete with Alyce in this category. If you are a B2B sales, marketing, or customer success team looking for an alternative to Alyce by Sendoso, these are the platforms you should be evaluating instead:
- PerkUp (perkupapp.com): employee and sales gifting platform with budget controls, global catalog, and Salesforce and HubSpot integrations. Actively positioning against Alyce and Sendoso.
- Reachdesk (reachdesk.com): enterprise B2B direct mail and gifting for ABM and revenue teams. Strong warehouse-and-send capability and CRM integrations.
- Goody (ongoody.com): consumer-friendly B2B gifting with a no-address-required send model and a focus on employee and client appreciation.
- Tremendous (tremendous.com): digital payouts and reward delivery, useful when the recipient preference is cash, gift cards, or charitable donations rather than physical goods.
All four are real alternatives in the corporate outbound gifting category that Alyce occupied. None of them are affiliated with or endorsed by RealGifts. They are listed here because you landed on this page looking for help, and pointing you toward the wrong product (ours) would not be useful to either of us.
If you are building a platform and want to add gifting as a feature
RealGifts is a G-Commerce platform: a white-label gift shop plugin and gifting API that platform operators embed directly inside their own apps so their users can send real physical gifts to each other. The buyer is a product manager or founder at a dating app, a gaming platform, a community app, or an enterprise HR product who wants gift-sending built into their product as a native feature, not a separate tool their team logs into.
The integration is an API and SDK (JavaScript, Node.js, PHP, Python, Ruby, Perl, iOS, and Android). Your development team embeds the gift shop inside your app. Your users never leave your product. RealGifts handles the catalog (1M+ products, 100s of brands), payments, fulfillment, shipping, and support. You earn a commission on every transaction your users complete. Pricing starts at $199/month (Starter), with a 14-day free trial and no credit card required. RealGifts has been running this infrastructure since 2008, including a period as the exclusive real-gift provider in the Facebook Gift Shop.
Alyce by Sendoso vs. RealGifts: side by side

Start with what problem you are actually solving
The clearest frame for this comparison is intent. Alyce by Sendoso (and the alternatives in its category) exist to help a B2B company send gifts to people outside the company as part of a relationship-building or revenue motion. RealGifts exists to help a platform operator let their users send gifts to each other as a native product feature, with the operator earning revenue from every transaction.
If you are a platform operator evaluating embedded gifting infrastructure, the fastest way to assess RealGifts is a free trial. You get 14 days, full API and developer sandbox access, and no credit card requirement. The pricing page covers the full tier breakdown and commission structure. If you would rather see it running before integrating, start your free trial or book a demo and we will walk through the operator setup with you.
If you are still deciding whether you need corporate outbound gifting (the Alyce category) or embedded platform gifting infrastructure (the RealGifts category), the use-case split at the top of this page is the right place to start. The two products do not overlap.
