"Three kids means three birthday lists plus Christmas. Before this, my family would text each other asking 'did you already get the LEGO set?' Now they just check the list. Problem solved."

Hitchd vs WishApp
Hitchd is purpose-built for honeymoon registries and wedding funds. WishApp is a general wishlist you can share for any occasion. These are very different products. Here's exactly where each one wins.
We built WishApp, so we're biased. But we'll be honest.

What actually sets them apart
Hitchd is for weddings. WishApp is for everything else.
Hitchd was designed specifically for couples who want to fund a honeymoon or experiences instead of collecting physical gifts. The registry pages are beautiful. The payment options are genuinely impressive. But if you need a birthday wishlist, a Christmas list, or a registry that includes actual products from online stores, Hitchd cannot help you. It's a specialist tool for one specific life moment. Not a generalist.
The cost adds up fast with Hitchd
Hitchd charges $119 for the Starter plan (capped at 25 contributions) or $199 for unlimited contributions. Then every credit card payment adds 2.9% plus $0.30. On a $500 honeymoon contribution, that's $14.80 off the top before it reaches you. WishApp is free with no transaction fees. Your friends give what they want, and you get all of it. Every cent.
Payment flexibility is genuinely where Hitchd wins
Get this: Hitchd supports credit cards, PayPal, Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, Wise, Revolut, and Bitcoin. That list is genuinely impressive, especially for couples with international guests scattered across different countries and payment ecosystems. WishApp is a wishlist app, not a payment processor. If collecting actual funds from guests is the goal, Hitchd was built for it and WishApp was not.
WishApp has apps. Hitchd does not.
Hitchd is web-only. The mobile experience is well-optimized, sure, but there's no native iOS or Android app and no browser extension. WishApp has native apps for both platforms plus a browser extension for Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Firefox. So if you want to add items while browsing on your phone, WishApp is just easier. Hitchd's mobile web is polished. But a native app is faster.
When to pick each one
- Are planning a wedding and want a honeymoon fund or experience registry
- Have international guests and need wide payment method support
- Want a stunning registry page with Unsplash photography and custom fonts
- Prefer to fund experiences and adventures rather than collect physical gifts
- Need a wishlist for any occasion beyond weddings (birthdays, holidays, everyday)
- Want to add physical products from any online store
- Need mobile apps or a browser extension for adding items on the go
- Want a completely free experience with no fees and no upfront cost
52,000+ wishlists and 150,000+ gifts reserved for birthdays, weddings, and every occasion worth celebrating
"My girlfriend and I share lists with each other. I can reserve stuff without her knowing, which makes birthdays way less stressful. The hidden reservation thing is actually clutch."
"We used this instead of a traditional registry. Added items from 11 different stores. Stuff we actually wanted, not just whatever one store had. Our guests said it was easier too."
Frequently asked questions
Hitchd vs WishApp: the full picture
What Hitchd actually is
Hitchd launched as a beta in 2017, born from co-founder Ollie getting engaged in 2015 and wanting a honeymoon registry that didn't exist yet. The concept is simple: build a beautiful registry page, list experiences or fund goals, and let guests contribute money toward them. Hitchd has been featured in The Knot, Honeymoons.com, and Yahoo Finance, and holds a 4.7/5 rating on Trustpilot from 370+ reviews. The platform supports an impressive range of payment methods including Wise, Revolut, and Bitcoin, which makes it practical for internationally connected couples. Pricing runs from $119 to $199 as a one-time fee, with credit card transactions costing 2.9% plus $0.30 each.
Where WishApp is built differently
WishApp started from a different question: what if anyone could create a shareable wishlist from any store, for any occasion, for free? No subscription. No transaction fees. No setup required. WishApp has native iOS and Android apps, a browser extension for four browsers, hidden gift reservations, Secret Santa, and works with any product URL you can find. The tradeoff is that WishApp doesn't do fund-based gifting. You can't ask guests to contribute money toward a trip. You collect wishlisted products, not cash. For most wishlist use cases outside of weddings, that's completely fine.
Which one is right for you?
Honestly, these tools barely compete. If you're planning a wedding and want a honeymoon fund with beautiful design and international payment support, Hitchd was built for exactly that. It's good at what it does. But if you're building a gift list for a birthday, the holidays, or any non-wedding occasion, Hitchd wasn't designed for you at all. WishApp handles everyday wishlisting with no fees, no apps to install, and no account required for friends to view your list. Pick the tool that matches your actual situation.
