Tracking on iPhone, sharing on Android
The labels point in opposite directions. On the App Store GoWish declares Usage Data as used for tracking and Giftful declares none. On Google Play GoWish says no data is shared with third parties and Giftful says it may share Personal info and Device or other IDs. Both Play pages say data is encrypted in transit and can be deleted on request.
What each store listing says it does
Both let friends and family claim a gift without the list owner seeing it. GoWish's App Store text: guests "can see what is being reserved by other guests - without you, of course, being able to see it yourself." Giftful's: friends and family "can privately claim gifts without the recipient knowing."
GoWish's listings describe making a wishlist with a partner, such as a wedding list, and creating wishlists on behalf of family members or friends. It works in the app or in a browser.
Giftful's listings describe saving products through an in-app browser from any website, comparing prices across retailers, tracking price changes, adding experiences or cash fund requests, and keeping several lists at once, such as Christmas, birthday and baby registry. Giftful says lists sync across iPhone, iPad and the web.
If you want price tracking or a cash fund on the list, those are Giftful's. If you want to build a list for someone else, or a shared one with a partner, that's GoWish's.
