Frequently Asked Questions

GiftDice is a free web app for organizing gift exchanges, creating shareable wishlists, running giveaways, and hosting live quiz games. You can run a Secret Santa, set up a Christmas gift swap, create a birthday wishlist, or launch a giveaway — all in under a minute.

Yes! The free plan includes up to 5 groups, 5 wishlists, 5 active giveaways, and 10 AI uses per day. Most users never need to upgrade. A Pro plan ($2.99/mo) is available for power users who need unlimited everything, and you can also buy AI credit packs for one-time top-ups.

Create a group, invite participants via a shareable link, then draw matches with one click. The algorithm randomly pairs each person with someone to buy a gift for. Nobody sees anyone else’s match. You can set budgets, exclusion rules, and gender matching.

GiftDice supports groups from 2 to 100+ participants. Whether it’s a couple’s exchange or a large office Secret Santa, the matching algorithm handles it.

A Yankee Swap (also called White Elephant) is a gift exchange game where participants take turns choosing gifts from a pile, with the option to ‘steal’ already-opened gifts. GiftDice helps organize these events with random turn orders and budget limits.

Create a group, choose White Elephant as the exchange type, and invite your friends. Once everyone has joined, draw a random turn order with one click. Each person sees only their own turn number — nobody knows anyone else’s position until the party.

Absolutely. Each person only sees their own match (Secret Santa) or turn number (White Elephant). Not even the group organizer can see individual Secret Santa matches — they only see an overview.

Yes! When creating a group you can set a minimum and maximum budget in any currency (Secret Santa) or a spending limit per gift (White Elephant). GiftDice supports multi-currency budgets, so international groups can set limits in their local currency.

Absolutely. You can create a standalone birthday, wedding, or baby shower wishlist, share a link, and let friends reserve items to avoid duplicate gifts. No gift exchange group required.

Yes! GiftDice lets you upload a screenshot or photo of your wishlist from any notes app, and automatically extracts the items using AI. Just upload the image and confirm the extracted items to add them to your wishlist.

Create a giveaway campaign with a title, description, and draw date. Share the entry link and collect entries — optionally with eligibility questions. On the draw date, GiftDice randomly selects winners. You can set the number of winners, entry limits, and export results as CSV or PDF.

GiftDice uses AI across several features: personalized gift suggestions based on interests and budget, a wishlist builder that creates items from a text description, screenshot/image import that extracts items automatically, AI-generated thank-you notes, and AI quiz generation for Dice Duel games. Free users get 10 AI uses per day, and you can buy credit packs for more.

AI credits are a one-time purchase (100 credits for $1.99) that let you use AI features beyond the 10 free daily uses. Credits never expire and are only consumed after your daily free uses run out. You can buy multiple packs — credits stack.

Dice Duel is a free, live quiz game you can host from GiftDice. Create multiple-choice or true/false questions — or let AI generate them from any topic. Share a 6-character join code and players answer in real time on their phones. Faster correct answers score more points. Results include an animated podium, per-question breakdown, and confetti celebration. No app download or account needed for players.
