Why Xoxoday
Why Companies Choose Xoxoday
Ten capabilities that Runa doesn't offer - and that enterprise reward programs can't afford to go without.
True Global Infrastructure
100+ countries, multi-currency, purchase parity, 50+ languages, local tax governance, and flexible data residency across public, private, and on-premise clouds.
Value for Money & Lower TCO
Best-price catalog with no hidden markups. On Generation and On Redemption billing models to match how your finance team operates.
Extensive Catalog
30+ categories across 100+ countries - gift cards, prepaid cards, flights, hotels, experiences, lounges, air miles, charity, mobile top-ups, wellness, and custom rewards. No middlemen.
Amazon Partnership
Direct redemption on Amazon in the US, UK, India, Spain, and Germany. Recipients shop on Amazon's actual website. No other rewards platform offers this.
One Platform for Every Reward Use Case
Employee rewards, consumer promotions, channel incentives, survey rewards, instant payouts, and loyalty programs - without stitching together multiple vendors.
Built-In Enterprise-Grade Controls
Role-based access, budget thresholds, maker-checker workflows, reward rule engine, country-level controls, and approval schedules - built for 50,000+ employee enterprises.
AI Copilot Across the Platform
AI-powered reward recommendations, program optimization, insights and analytics, and automation built into the product - not bolted on.
Unmatched Deployment Flexibility
SaaS Admin Portal, REST APIs, SSO-based white-labeled storefront, SDKs, or iFrames. No-code self-serve or full API control - both supported in one platform.
250+ Integrations
Rewards triggered from MS Teams, Slack, Google Workspace, Workday, SAP, ADP, Darwinbox, Salesforce, HubSpot, Jira, and Zendesk.
Professional Services
Full onboarding consulting and project management. Dedicated CSM, structured MBRs & QBRs, and AI-powered 24/7/365 support across geographies and time zones.
Feature Comparison
How Xoxoday Plum Addresses Feature Gaps with Runa
Runa is a credible API-first payouts platform with real strengths in developer speed, instant currency conversion, and cross-border disbursement volume across 190+ countries. Gaps surface when programs need catalog breadth beyond gift cards and prepaid, no-code admin workflows for non-technical teams, named integrations across HR and CRM systems, and enterprise governance built for 50,000+ employee programs.
Recipient experience is shaped by what they can actually redeem. A payout-focused catalog of gift cards and prepaid cards is narrower than a full-spectrum global rewards library spanning travel, experiences, charity, utilities, and merchandise.

Beyond the Platform
A payout API is a component. A rewards program is an operating system.
When you go live with Plum, you don't just get API keys and a dashboard. You get dedicated implementation engineers, structured launch support, promotion kits, and adoption workshops - everything needed to ensure your program lands with momentum, not a quiet rollout that fades in two weeks. Runa's Starter plan launches you self-serve; Plum launches your program with a team behind it.
Post-launch, your named Customer Success Manager works actively to move the metrics that matter - from adoption and redemption rates to targeted engagement campaigns. Structured Monthly and Quarterly Business Reviews keep your program on track and continuously optimized. Our AI-powered 24/7 bot keeps teams unblocked, backed by a global support team operating across time zones - not a ticket queue or a Starter-plan chatbot.
On AI, Plum is already ahead. AI-powered reward recommendations, program optimization insights, analytics automation, and the Xoxoday MCP for AI-native agent workflows are live in the product today - not on a roadmap. The longer you run Plum, the smarter, more automated, and more impactful your rewards programs become.

Matt Wale
Head of Growth Marketing, Xero
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.
