Choosing between Giggle.tips by Giggle.tips and Hapi Guest by Hapi hinges on your hotel’s priorities. Both aim to serve as hotel CRM and email marketing tools, but they approach the problem differently. Giggle.tips appears to be a lesser-known product with no recent reviews, while Hapi boasts a solid 60 reviews, all from the last six months, making it the more reliable choice for current insights. Are you comfortable adopting a less reviewed platform or do you want the backing of recent, high-confidence customer feedback?
Giggle.tips and Hapi both target hotel CRM and email marketing, but their market presence and validation differ significantly. Giggle.tips has no recent reviews and a 0/5 overall rating, raising questions about its current usability and support. Conversely, Hapi has 60 recent reviews, a 4.8/5 overall rating, and a 96% likelihood to recommend, indicating strong customer satisfaction and confidence.
Hapi's reviews consistently praise its ease of use, feature set, and customer support, while Giggle.tips remains unreviewed, leaving its reliability and effectiveness uncertain. Given the data, Hapi’s proven track record makes it the clearer choice for hotels needing a dependable, well-supported CRM solution. Are you willing to risk a platform with no recent feedback, or will you go with the trusted leader in recent reviews?
If you need a hotel CRM and email marketing platform with proven stability, comprehensive features, and active customer support, go with Hapi. It’s suitable for a broad range of hotel types, from branded hotels and resorts to independent properties, especially those seeking extensive integration and support.
If your hotel’s needs are minimal or you’re testing a new concept with very limited budget and no requirement for ongoing support, Giggle.tips might seem tempting—though its unreviewed status makes it risky. For most hotels aiming to improve guest engagement and marketing efficiency, Hapi’s features and recent reviews make it the safer, more effective choice.
Hapi scores highly for ease of use, with a 4.64/5 rating and onboarding rated at 4.67/5, reflecting a smooth setup and user-friendly interface. Customers describe Hapi’s platform as intuitive, with many noting how quickly they could deploy and start benefiting from its features.
Giggle.tips, on the other hand, has a zero/5 ease of use rating, with no recent reviews to gauge onboarding or usability. This absence suggests uncertainty about its user interface or customer support experience. Given the clear positive feedback for Hapi’s usability, edge: Hapi.
Hapi offers a robust suite of 30 features, including data migration, guest profiles, segmentation, email templates, automation, and GDPR/CCPA compliance—many of which are absent from Giggle.tips, which has no listed features. These features allow for sophisticated marketing campaigns, data management, and personalized communication.
Giggle.tips provides no feature list, making it impossible to compare functionality directly. Based on the available data, Hapi’s extensive feature set and active development support make it the superior choice. Edge: Hapi.
Hapi’s customer support is highly rated at 4.83/5, with reviews describing their support team as knowledgeable, responsive, and dedicated. Many users appreciate the quick assistance during onboarding, which eases the implementation process.

Its open API and extensive partner network support a broad spectrum of operational systems, reducing manual work and data silos.
Giggle.tips has no verified integrations listed, which could limit its utility if your hotel relies on connecting multiple systems. For comprehensive connectivity, Hapi’s extensive integration library gives it a significant advantage. Edge: Hapi.
Hapi’s recent reviews reveal a 4.85/5 rating from 52 property-specific reviews, with independent hotels and branded properties expressing high satisfaction levels. The majority of recent reviews praise its ease of use, support, and feature set.
Giggle.tips has no recent reviews or ratings, making it impossible to gauge user satisfaction. Given the consistent, high ratings for Hapi, it is the better-rated platform among active users. Edge: Hapi.
Giggle.tips has no publicly available pricing information, which often indicates a bespoke or unestablished pricing model. Hapi charges a base price of $1,400, with no additional implementation or monthly per-room fees, giving you a predictable investment.
Without clear data, comparing value becomes difficult. However, Hapi’s transparent pricing coupled with its extensive features suggests a higher, but justifiable, ROI. Edge: Hapi.

Not ideal if:
Hapi is a well-supported, feature-rich CRM and email marketing platform with a proven track record, especially proven by recent reviews and active customer feedback. Its extensive integrations and dedicated support make it suitable for hotels looking to leverage technology for guest engagement and operational efficiency.
Giggle.tips, with no recent reviews or feature list, remains a risky choice. It might appeal to very small hotels or those testing basic email campaigns, but for most hotels, Hapi’s proven track record and broad capabilities make it the clear winner.
If your hotel needs a dependable, well-supported platform with active customer validation, go with Hapi. If you’re experimenting with minimal needs and have no concern about support or functionality, Giggle.tips could be considered, though it’s a less certain option.

| Criteria Group | Weight | What It Measures |
|---|---|---|
| Customer Ratings & Reviews |
|
How highly do users recommend this product? Ratings Score, Review Volume, Share of Voice, Review Depth, Review Recency, Success Stories ▾ The most heavily weighted factor. Analyzes average satisfaction ratings (likelihood to recommend, ease of use, support, ROI), total review count relative to category peers, review recency (at least 20 reviews in the trailing 6 months), and share of voice across unique hotel clients to detect selection bias. |
| Partner Ecosystem |

How highly do tech partners recommend this company? Partner Recommendations, Integration Quantity, Integration Quality ▾ Evaluates partner recommendations as expert votes of confidence, the number of verified integrations, and ecosystem quality — the average HT Scores of integration partners. Products with higher-quality integration ecosystems are more likely to deliver a connected tech stack. |
| Customer Centricity |
|
How customer-centric is this organization? Certified Support, Review Consistency, Profile Completeness ▾ Assesses whether the company has earned HTR Customer Support Certification, maintains consistent review collection over time (an indicator of feedback-driven culture), and keeps product profiles complete with capabilities, screenshots, pricing, and features. |
| Reach, Staying Power & Resources |
|
How extensive is this company's reach and resourcing? Geographic Reach, Staying Power, Company Resources, Trending Score ▾ Measures global presence (countries and regions served), years in business as a stability proxy, team headcount as a resource proxy, and a trending score based on trailing-twelve-month buyer inquiries, reviews, partner recommendations, and press activity. |
