"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."

Things To Get Me vs WishApp
Things To Get Me has a 4.9/5 Trustpilot rating, zero ads, and one genuinely unique trick: Amazon wishlist import. WishApp skips that but adds collaborative wishlists, group gifting, and Android support. Both have Secret Santa built in. Here's the honest breakdown.
We built WishApp, so we're biased. But we'll be honest.

What actually sets them apart
Amazon import vs. collaborative wishlists
Things To Get Me has one feature almost no one else offers: you can import your existing Amazon wishlist directly. That's genuinely useful if you already have a big list there. WishApp doesn't do that. But WishApp has collaborative wishlists, where multiple people can add items to the same list, and group gifting where friends chip in on a single item. Depends entirely on what you actually need.
No account at all vs. account required
Things To Get Me lets you create and share a wishlist with zero sign-up. You get a link, share it, done. WishApp requires an account to create and manage a list. Your friends can still view your list without signing up, but the list owner needs an account. If frictionless creation is the priority, Things To Get Me wins this one.
Both are genuinely ad-free
This one's a draw. Things To Get Me earns affiliate commissions when people buy items from your list. WishApp does the same, taking a small affiliate cut when items are purchased. Neither app shows ads, sells your data, or sends marketing emails. Same result for the user, same basic revenue model.
Secret Santa: both have it, WishApp goes further
Both apps have a built-in Secret Santa generator. Things To Get Me handles group creation, wishlist sharing within groups, and one-click name drawing with email notifications. WishApp does all of that too, plus adds collaborative wishlists and group gifting where friends pool money on a single item. So if Secret Santa is your main use case, either works. If you want the full group gifting stack on top of that, WishApp is the one.

"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
Things To Get Me vs WishApp: the full picture
What makes Things To Get Me different
Things To Get Me launched its iOS app in October 2019 (formerly called Easy Gift List) and has quietly built a loyal following. The Trustpilot score of 4.9/5 from 413+ reviews is genuinely impressive for a small independent app. It runs on an affiliate model: the app and website are free, and revenue comes from commissions when users buy items through wishlist links. The app receives regular updates. No ads. No subscriptions. No required sign-up. And the Amazon import feature keeps drawing users who want to migrate away from Amazon's own wishlist tool, especially since Amazon discontinued its browser extension in March 2023.
Where WishApp does more
WishApp takes a different angle. The core wishlist works the same way: add items from any store, share via a link, friends reserve gifts without spoiling the surprise. But WishApp layers on features Things To Get Me skips. Group gifting lets multiple people chip in on a single item. Collaborative wishlists let multiple people add to the same list together. Both apps have Secret Santa built in. And WishApp has iOS and Android apps plus a full browser experience, so it works the same for everyone in your group regardless of what device they use.
Which one should you actually pick?
Honestly, both are solid choices if your main goal is a clean, ad-free wishlist. The decision usually comes down to two things. First: do you need Amazon import? Things To Get Me is your answer. WishApp does not offer that. Second: do you need collaborative wishlists or group gifting where friends pool money on one specific item? Things To Get Me has Money Funds for general crowdfunding goals, but not per-item pooling. WishApp has that. Both are free, both work with any store, and both keep reservations hidden from the list owner. Try both and see which one clicks.
