"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."

Prezola has been the UK's go-to wedding gift list since 2010. 500+ premium brands, headquartered in Bath, 14+ years of trust. WishApp is for everyone else: any occasion, any store, no wedding required. Here's the honest comparison.
We built WishApp, so we're biased. But we'll be honest.

What actually sets them apart
Wedding only vs. every occasion
Prezola is purpose-built for weddings. That's the whole product: curated brands, honeymoon funds, guest RSVP, wedding info. Genuinely well done for that one use case. But you can't use it for a birthday, a baby shower, or just a running list of things you want. WishApp works for any occasion, any time of year. Your friends don't need to create an account to see your list, either.
500 partner brands vs. every store on the internet
Prezola's 50,000+ products come from 500+ handpicked brands. Genuinely impressive selection for UK shoppers, from Le Creuset to Wedgwood. Here's the catch though: you can paste a link from an outside store, but if Prezola can't source the item, it gets converted into a cash gift. Not the item. Cash. WishApp pulls product data from any URL and keeps the actual product on your list. Amazon, Etsy, a small Scandinavian design shop, your local bookstore's website: paste the link, get the details. No conversions.
No mobile app, no browser extension
Prezola has no iOS app, no Android app, and no browser extension. You browse and manage your list on their website. Fine on a laptop. But adding something you spotted while scrolling your phone? That's a copy, switch, paste situation every time. WishApp has mobile apps for iOS and Android, plus a browser extension, so adding items takes about three seconds from wherever you find them.
UK-only vs. worldwide
Prezola serves UK couples. If you're in Denmark, Australia, or the US, the platform simply isn't for you. Delivery, brand partnerships, customer support: all UK-focused. WishApp works anywhere. It's available in 55 languages, and because it links to any online store, your guests can buy from shops in their own country without paying international shipping.

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
Prezola vs WishApp: the full picture
What Prezola built for UK weddings
Ali and Dom Beaven launched Prezola on Valentine's Day 2012, and honestly, the timing fits. They built it for UK couples who want a proper wedding gift list from premium brands, and they got really good at it. 500+ brand partnerships, 50,000+ products, headquartered in Bath, and by the time they sold to the Cambium Group in 2019, the business was doing £20M a year. The founders have since exited, but the platform keeps running. Free delivery on guest orders of 75 GBP or more. Commission-free honeymoon fund. A 1.9% Stripe fee on fund contributions, which guests pay. For UK weddings, it's the established option.
Why WishApp is built differently
WishApp started from a different problem: most people want a wishlist for more than just their wedding. Birthdays, Christmas, baby showers, random Tuesday ideas. And they want it to work with any store, not a curated list of 500 brands. So WishApp fetches product data from any URL, works anywhere in the world, has mobile apps and a browser extension, and keeps the whole thing free. No transaction fees. No delivery fees. No paid upgrade coming.
Which one should you actually pick?
If you're planning a UK wedding and want a beautiful, curated gift list from premium brands, Prezola has 14+ years of experience doing exactly that. It's genuinely good at what it does. But if you want something for more occasions, more stores, or you're not in the UK, WishApp is the better fit. Both are free to try. WishApp takes about two minutes to set up, doesn't require a credit card, and your guests can see your list without creating an account.
