The story behind Gutscheinify
Gutscheinify started with a lost voucher worth around 150 euros. I am Oleksii, a software developer from Hamburg — and this is the story of why this app exists.
Who is behind the app
I have been building software for more than 15 years. Hamburg is my home, travelling is my favourite hobby — and life hacks are almost a reflex: when something annoys me in everyday life, I keep looking for a better solution until I find one. Sometimes that solution is an app.
The problem: vouchers nobody can find again
It began with paper. Flyers and coupons arrive in the letterbox, move to the kitchen table and end up in a drawer. I never had a good place for them — and when I did have one, I forgot to use them.
Digital was no better. A voucher in your inbox is visible exactly until the next newsletter arrives. After that it sits somewhere in your mail — and at the very moment you need it, you cannot find it.
The moment the idea appeared
I had received a voucher worth around 150 euros by email. When I wanted to use it, it was nowhere to be found in my inbox.
If it had been a banknote, I would have folded it into my wallet. Why is there no such place for vouchers?
The answer to my own question came quickly: that place does not exist because nobody had built it. So I started.
What Gutscheinify is here to do
My goal is simple: digital vouchers should be as convenient as a banknote in your wallet. Keep them, find them again, use them — without searching, without keeping expiry dates in your head.
If Gutscheinify helps you save money that would otherwise have quietly expired, the app has done its job.
Why there is a subscription
Gutscheinify is growing — and with every new user, server, infrastructure and licence costs grow too. For the app to exist long term, it needs an honest business model. I do not sell your data and I do not show you third-party ads — instead, there is Gutscheinify Pro.
The core idea stays: up to 10 vouchers and 10 loyalty cards remain free forever. If you need more — unlimited vouchers and loyalty cards, automatic email import — the subscription funds further development.
On top of that I work with selected brands and show you their offers in the app. What I want is a win-win-win: you get real deals, partners reach interested customers, and the app stays affordable to run.
To be transparent: if you buy through a partner offer, I receive a small commission. The price stays the same for you. Offers I would not use myself do not go into the app.
