GimmeThat vs. WishApp (2026 Comparison)

GimmeThat compared with WishApp, two wishlist tools side by side

GimmeThat is a tidy little Chrome extension for saving products you want to buy later. We held its single private list up against WishApp on devices, sharing, and the gifting features that separate a save-for-later tool from a real wishlist.

Last updated: June 2026

GimmeThat is a private, desktop-only Chrome extension that saves products to one flat list. It has no mobile app, doesn't run in Firefox or Safari, and has no way to share lists or reserve gifts. WishApp is free, runs everywhere, and adds sharing, hidden reservations and Secret Santa. If you need a GimmeThat alternative, WishApp is the one we'd pick.

A closer look

Pricing and value

Both are free right now, but read the small print. WishApp is free forever and funded by affiliate links, with no paid tier anywhere in the product. GimmeThat is also free and affiliate-funded today. Its Terms, though, call the current plan an 'unlimited free trial' and come with full subscription billing ready to switch on. So GimmeThat is free until it decides not to be. WishApp has no such clause.

Platforms and devices

Devices are the biggest gap. GimmeThat is a desktop browser extension and nothing more. It runs in Chrome, Edge, Brave and Opera, not in Firefox or Safari, and there's no mobile app at all. Its site says so plainly: it only works in desktop and laptop browsers. WishApp runs on iPhone, iPad, Android and macOS, in all five browsers including Firefox and Safari, and in Raycast. Save a gift on your phone and it's there on your laptop.

Sharing, privacy and reservations

GimmeThat keeps your list to yourself. That's on purpose, since it's built as a private 'save for later' tool, but it means there's no shareable link, no way for friends to open your list, and no reservations. WishApp goes the other way. You share a list with one link, people view it without an account, and they reserve gifts in secret so nobody buys the same thing twice. If the point is to actually receive gifts, that settles it.

Gifting and group features

GimmeThat has no gifting layer at all: no hidden reservations, no Secret Santa, no shared editing, and no reserved or received tracking. It's closer to a smarter bookmark folder than a gift registry. WishApp is built for the social side. You can run a Secret Santa draw, co-manage a family list, and keep a 'received' archive with notes like 'from Sarah' so you remember who gave what.

Ease of use and adding items

Saving items is what GimmeThat does well. One click on its toolbar button grabs the product name, image, price and link, and you can fix the details if it guesses wrong. It even watches some items and emails you when a price or stock level changes, which WishApp doesn't do. WishApp matches the one-click save and adds auto-fill from any pasted link. Still, if all you want is a quiet save-for-later button on your desktop, GimmeThat does that one thing very well.

Which one is right for you?

Choose GimmeThat if…

  • You live entirely in a Chromium browser on a desktop and just want a fast, private button to save products for later.
  • You care about price and availability alerts, since GimmeThat can email you when a saved item changes.
  • You never need to share your list, open it on a phone, or let anyone reserve a gift from it.

Choose WishApp if…

  • You want to share a wishlist with family or friends and let them reserve gifts in secret.
  • You add gifts from your phone, or browse on Firefox or Safari, which GimmeThat does not support.
  • You want multiple lists for birthdays, weddings and Christmas instead of one flat list.
  • You run Secret Santa, co-manage lists, or want everything free with no subscription clause hanging over it.
