This blog will look at the size of the reward catalogs that Tango Card and Xoxoday offer. We will also be comparing them in different aspects such as technology, the number of integrations they offer, and the support they provide.
Plum simplifies the rewarding process for businesses and makes the rewards delightful for the end-users. In the value chain of inculcating behavior change, we provide value at every step, starting from defining behavior triggers to enabling action to make results happen.
On the other hand, Tango Card is a bulk rewarding platform that helps deliver rewards via email and APIs. We will be comparing these two platforms in different criteria and see how they stack up.
We cater to a wide range of use cases to deliver on user-driven growth and stakeholder alignment.

1. Global Rewards Catalog
Our vast collection spans 100+ countries, 20+ reward categories, 21,000+ options with 4,000+ gift Cards, 2800+ brand vouchers, non-profit donations, and cash cards. We also have 3000+ perks and custom merchandise in our catalog.
After getting the reward points, end-users can use them to redeem these points from our massive holistic catalog, which includes gift cards, curated experiences, wellness initiatives, subscriptions, work-from-home offers, and perks. Storefront users can select from a wide range of categories including automotive, electronics, health and wellness, and lifestyle, and get exclusive offers and discounts! For travel enthusiasts, there are 5000+ handpicked experiences and travel options across the globe.
Upcoming additions to the Storefront in the next 6 months of 2021 include fintech, merchandise, new gift card APIs, wellness initiatives, and cashbacks. Staff can also access consumer promotions such as lucky draw, spin wheel, etc.
Tango Card on the other hand only contains 550+ gift card options and lacks features such as experiences, perks, merchandise, and wellness initiatives. Tango Card also lacks the number of reward categories that Plum possesses.
Amazon merchandise available in our catalog solution means using Amazon Business offering millions of rewards options, 17 global fulfilment centers, service to over 100 countries, and the convenient delivery Amazon is known for. Say goodbye to the headaches and hassles of limited catalogs, international shipping, and crazy customs fees—all in one solution.

2. Reward Redemption & Distribution Capabilities
For admins like HRs, sales leaders, etc looking to distribute rewards seamlessly, Plum offers omnichannel distribution capability. Apt for distributing rewards in bulk, Rewards can be sent to end-users through reward points, reward codes, reward links, and QR codes* for staff to redeem in the Plum Storefront.
Xoxo points can be used by HR heads or CXOs of a company to distribute rewards and incentivize their employees, stakeholders, or channel partners. Distributed points can be used by the recipients on the Plum Storefront. Points are accumulated in the user account and they can redeem them as they deem fit.
Xoxo Codes are unique gift codes that can be sent individually or in bulk to end-users. Admins can create these codes in any denomination and currency. Employees can use multiple codes in a single purchase/multiple purchases as per their convenience.
Xoxo Link is a unique link that lets recipients choose the reward of their choice with a single click. Admins can distribute the rewards via email, SMS, and QR codes. Organizations only have to pay for the rewards that are redeemed via Xoxo links.
APIs can be used by admins to send bulk brand gift vouchers.
Tangocard's API response, on the other hand, is very complex and requires significant effort to learn and integrate. Plum, on the other hand, provides a seamless experience and is far easier to integrate. Our API also lets users get specific vouchers from the Plum Catalog with filters such as country, category, etc.
With the ability to send rewards across channels, Xoxoday’s Plum outmatches Tango Card when it comes to distribution capabilities.

As a completely DIY solution, Plum provides advanced analytics for admins on reward redemption usage and allows custom branding.

Upcoming features shortly include “People Analytics to benchmark and predict attrition”.
Customizations can easily be performed with Plum. Organizations can have custom brandings such as landing pages, and logos and use their email templates. Personalization of gift cards, greetings, images, emails, and messages is possible for special occasions. It is also possible for admins to create custom landing pages/URLs/Micro-sites. Packing and delivery services can also be branded.
Tango Card, on the other hand, offers limited customization, doesn’t have campaign automation, and has limited functionality when it comes to analytics.
