I love that they receive a text message when they are sent a gift card (due to our workday integration) and I also love that we can print out a QR code so that they can redeem that way versus having to check their email. I also love the guest redemption feature so that they don't have to log in to guusto to redeem. > > **Cons**: There are 2 things that I dislike: 1) the process to fund our accounts has an extra step that we do not have with other vendors. We have to email Guusto finance to request an invoice. All of our other vendors upload invoices automatically in coupa without this extra step. This is likely going to cause issues, as our team is not used to having to do this. 2) I wish the platform handled sending in other currencies better. With our previous digital gift card vendor, we could send gifts in pounds, euros, etc. and it would show that amount on the front end prior to sending (e.g. if I was sending a $100 value GC in pounds, it would charge me $75 USD and convert the funds before I hit send.). > > Overall we have had a great experience with Guusto. The team has been wonderful to work with and the 'pros' of the system are a big step up to what we are doing before. I am very hopeful for a few improvements that would make it absolutely perfect, but we are close\! ----- ### "Great and Easy Product" — 5.0/5 > **Eric** | *10 April 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use, great features, great user interface, AI compatibility, and the ability to share and send gifts > > **Cons**: At this time I have no cons. Guusto has been a great platform to use and explore and share. It is a good product ----- ### "Straightforward to use with a great vendor selection and lots of flexibility for the end-user" — 5.0/5 > **Ryan** | *2 February 2026* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is straightforward to use as an employer, has good selection of vendors the recipient can use, and is easy to use for the recipient. > > **Cons**: So far I am quite pleased with it, so no complaints as yet. It is easy to use with good selection for the recipient to choose from. > > Our previous employee reward/recognition program accumulated points that the employee could only redeem for products that the program offered. The selection was not great and many employees sat on large amounts of unredeemed points because there was nothing they wanted from the selection the program had available. With Guusto the employee has a much wider range of vendors and therefore products to choose from, and even if their reward was not enough to outright purchase an item from one of those vendors, they can partially subsidize the purchase if they so choose with their Guusto redemption. ----- ### "5 Stars for Guusto\!\!" — 5.0/5 > **Amy** | *25 March 2026* | Environmental Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Super easy, with a great interface, and I can queue up the perks in Guusto plus send employee recognition in 60 seconds\!\! > > **Cons**: Nothing - it is incredibly easy to use, love the dashboard + the dashboard showing how good it is to send perks through this way. > > Excellent, simple, always loads easily, and super simple to click a few buttons, then off goes the reward to an employee. ----- Page: 1 / 142\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/105459/guusto?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/105459/guusto) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
