Feature Comparison
How Xoxoday Plum Addresses Feature Gaps with Nium
Nium is a licensed payments infrastructure provider. It supports cross-border payouts to 190+ countries in 100+ currencies, multi-currency accounts, card issuing in 30+ markets, FX and stablecoin rails through one API, backed by 40+ licences. That is a real strength for teams building payment products. Gaps appear for reward programs: a recipient-choice catalog, program flexibility across employee, channel and survey use cases, enterprise reward governance, and publicly documented HR and CRM integrations.
This matters because paying someone quickly is only half the job. The recipient also has to want what arrives.

Beyond the Platform
Nium gives you the payment rails. Plum gives you the rewards program - and a team to make it succeed.
A payments provider gets money moving. Plum helps you decide what that money turns into. At launch you get dedicated implementation engineers, structured onboarding, adoption workshops and manager enablement kits, so a global or multi-program rollout lands with momentum.
After launch, a named Customer Success Manager tracks redemption rates, reward mix and recipient engagement, with Monthly and Quarterly Business Reviews tied to business outcomes. A 24/7 AI-powered support layer backed by a global team covers every time zone.
On AI, Plum offers reward recommendations and program insights, and Xoxoday MCP lets AI agents and LLM workflows trigger and manage rewards natively with no middleware required.

SaaS · Referral Rewards
We were manually sourcing and sending rewards one by one. With Plum, the entire program runs itself - and our referral program delivered 20% growth year on year.
Our employees really like the Xoxoday rewarding process. The customer service they offer is exceptional and commendable. That was the most important criterion for us when deciding on them.

Retail · Employee Rewards
We used to spend weeks coordinating survey incentives manually. With Plum, distribution is fully automated - respondent experience improved and our ops team got that time back.
