I use Setapp, and I got a gift card...
Note: Gift cards cannot be applied to the Family subscription plan. We have multiple attractive offers for your personal needs, though. Please choose any other plan from our list of subscription plans.
Note: Gift cards for plans in euros are not available at the moment, but we're working on making them available soon.
Note: In the Setapp environment, a gift card differs from a promo code. Please see how to activate a Setapp promo code here.
Purchase a gift card
You can purchase a Setapp gift card in Setapp's Gift Card Store. Just choose a denomination:
- $9.99
- $29.97

fill in the contact info, and click "Proceed to payment" to complete your purchase.
We can send your gift any day. To let us know, choose "Schedule for later" while providing the contact info, then choose a date. We'll send your gift at 00:00 (UTC) on the selected day.
That's it! Within an hour of processing your payment, your friend will receive an email with a gift card code. We'll also send you a confirmation email with a receipt around 15 minutes after your purchase.
Activate a gift card
A gift card can be a literal card, a line of numbers on your purchase receipt, or an email. If your gift card arrived as an email, look for the title "Your Setapp gift card is inside." Check the spam folder if you can't find it in your Inbox. To activate your gift card, click "Activate membership" in the email.
You are a new Setapp user
If you hadn't used Setapp before you got a gift card, follow these steps to activate your gift card:
1. Open the Redeem Gift Card page.
2. Enter your code in the opened window, and click Continue.
3. Now you need to create a Setapp account:
- Use your Apple account (previously Apple ID) or Google account to sign up, or
- Fill out the email, password, and name fields.
Then click "Create account." The gift card code will be activated automatically.
Once you activate, you'll have a Setapp account with an active subscription. Your account details, subscription plan, and all the necessary information are always available in your Setapp account.
You're an existing Setapp user
If you already use Setapp, the denomination of the gift card will be added to your plan. Read further I use Setapp, and I got a gift card... to see how we'll recalculate your plan.

- Enter your gift card code and click "Activate code."

How will your current subscription plan intersect with the gift card value? This section will cover all existing scenarios.
You use Setapp on trial
Usually, the trial period lasts 7 days. If you got a Setapp gift card during the trial period, you don't have to wait until the free days expire. You can activate the card immediately, and we'll add the days left from your trial to the gifted period. In other words, all your free days stay with you. Remember that you can always change your subscription plan if the one on trial doesn't meet your needs.
You have an active subscription plan
Setapp recalculates the gift card value to fit your current plan. We do it to ensure you can access all features and devices you love in Setapp. To determine the period you get, divide the gift card value by your plan value.
$9.99 or $27.97 worth
Recalculation applies per monthly cost if you have a $9.99 or $27.97 gift card.
Consider the following example: you have a "Mac + iOS" subscription that costs $12.49 per month. Your friend sends you a $27.97 gift card. To recalculate the subscription duration, we use this formula: $27.97 / $12.49 = 2.24 months = 2 months and 8 days. In this case, Setapp will apply the gift card for 2 months and 8 days of your "Mac + iOS" subscription plan.
$107.88 worth
If you have a year gift card, recalculation applies for a year's cost regardless of your current subscription period and plan.
Consider the following example: you have a "Power Plan" subscription for $14.99 per month. Your friend sends a $107.88 Setapp gift card for your Birthday. To recalculate the subscription duration, let's find out the yearly cost of your subscription: $14.99 * 12 = $179.88 per year. Then we execute the dividing: $107.88 / $179.88 = 0.6 year = 7 months and 7 days. In this case, we remain a monthly "Power Plan" as your subscription plan, but Setapp will apply the gift card for 7 months and 7 days.
