How Truly scores

9–10

Spot on for them. It answers something you said about them.

7–8

Good, with a catch: a bit expected, or a better version exists.

4–6

Fine but forgettable: safe, or only loosely about them.

0–3

A miss for this person. It happens, and there’s a better idea below.

Truly reads what you wrote about them and judges one thing: does this gift fit this person? It looks for the detail the gift answers (a hobby, a need, something they asked for), checks whether a better version exists for the same money, and only then picks the number.

A 10 means Truly can’t name a catch. A 9 always says what the catch is. Owning a few of something they love isn’t a miss: a better version of it still scores well.

Truly judges the fit, never the price: a small gift that fits beats a big one that doesn’t.

Three real verdicts

4/10

“Candle four for the desk that's basically a wax museum”
Scented candle for my sister, who already has three on her desk

Better idea, about the same price: a self-watering desk plant

7/10

“Another hoodie for the guy who's already found his uniform”
Hoodie for my boyfriend, who already has three he never takes off

Better idea, about the same price: a hoodie blanket with sleeves

10/10

“The only living thing she'll never accidentally murder”
Pet rock for my best friend, who can't keep a single plant alive

Keep it, and add this: a Chia Pet

Questions people ask

Is Rate my gift free?

Yes. No account and no app: type the gift and one line about them, and Truly answers in a few seconds. You can rate up to 15 gifts a day.

How does Truly decide the score?

From what you wrote about the person, never from the price: a small gift that answers something they said beats an expensive one that doesn’t. Then it suggests one better idea that costs about the same.

Will Truly be mean about my gift?

Truly teases the gift choice the way a friend would, never the person you’re buying for and never you. No jokes about bodies, age, money, religion or health, and gifts for children are never teased.
