If you have a $100 gift card from the US and want the most naira for it, Nosh quoted the same or more than Prestmit for all four of the most common cards we priced on 27 October 2026. The biggest gap was on Google Play, where Nosh offered ₦7,000 more for a $100 card.
How we checked: this comparison is based on each company’s own published rate calculators, checked within two minutes of each other on the morning of 27 October 2026 (US Eastern time), and on what each company lists on its website. Rates move every day, sometimes every hour.
The short version
- For a $100 US gift card, Nosh paid ₦500 more on Apple, the same on Steam, ₦7,000 more on Google Play and ₦5,000 more on Amazon in our check.
- Both apps let you sell gift cards, turn crypto into cash, pay bills and buy airtime and eSIMs, in Nigeria and Ghana.
- Prestmit gives you more ways to be paid, including Bitcoin and USDT, and offers a gift card API for businesses.
- Amazon cards pay about half what Apple cards do on both apps, so check your card type before you count on a figure.
- Neither website lists a licence from Nigeria’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for its crypto services.
What each app pays for a $100 US gift card
| $100 US gift card | Nosh | Prestmit | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apple ($100 card) | ₦121,500 | ₦121,000 | Nosh +₦500 |
| Steam (physical card) | ₦111,000 | ₦111,000 | Same |
| Google Play (physical card) | ₦91,500 | ₦84,500 | Nosh +₦7,000 |
| Amazon (with cash receipt) | ₦60,000 | ₦55,000 | Nosh +₦5,000 |
Two things in that table matter more than which app wins. First, the card type changes everything. On both apps, a US Amazon card pays roughly half what a US Apple card of the same value does, and a card without a receipt pays less again. Second, the gaps between the two apps are small next to the gaps between card types. Before you sell, check the exact sub-category of your card in both apps on the same day.
What else each app does
Both apps are now more than gift card shops. Each lets you convert crypto to cash, pay electricity and TV bills, buy airtime and data, fund betting wallets and buy eSIMs for travel, and both serve Nigeria and Ghana. The differences are at the edges.
- Nosh pays in naira, cedis or USD, and can pay gift card sales in Bitcoin, Litecoin or Dogecoin. It also books flights and pays bills in other countries. It has apps for Android and iPhone, the iPhone one listed as Nosh: Vouchers & Payments.
- Prestmit lists seven ways to be paid: naira, cedis, USD, Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin and USDT, a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar. It also runs a gift card API, a way for other businesses to sell cards through Prestmit automatically. It has apps for Android and iPhone.
Nosh
Best for: selling Google Play and Amazon cards, where it quoted the most in our check, and anyone who also wants flights or overseas bills in the same app.
The downside: fewer payout choices than Prestmit, with no USDT payout listed for gift card sales, and no API for businesses that sell cards in bulk.
Skip if: you want gift card sales paid in a dollar stablecoin, or you run a business that needs to sell cards automatically.
Prestmit
Best for: people who want to be paid in USDT or Bitcoin, and businesses that want to plug gift card sales into their own systems.
The downside: it quoted less than Nosh for Google Play and Amazon cards in our check, by ₦7,000 and ₦5,000 on a $100 card.
Skip if: you mostly sell Google Play or Amazon cards and want the highest naira payout.
What this comparison does not cover
This comparison covers the rates each app publishes. We did not sell cards on either app, so we have not tested how fast each one pays, what each charges to withdraw to your bank, or how quickly support answers. Both companies say they pay within minutes of checking your card and that support is available around the clock. Those are their own claims, and they are the parts that matter most when a card gets rejected or a payment is late.
We also looked for regulatory approval for the crypto side of each business. Neither company’s website lists a licence from Nigeria’s SEC, and neither appears in the SEC’s 13 August 2026 list of crypto companies newly admitted to its incubation programme. That does not mean either is breaking a rule, but it does mean neither has published the kind of approval that tells you who to complain to if a crypto trade goes wrong.
Before you sell any gift card
- Check the rate in the app just before you upload, and screenshot it.
- Pick the exact card type, physical or e-code, and with or without a receipt. Choosing the wrong one can get your card rejected or paid at a lower rate.
- Only trade inside the app itself, never through someone on WhatsApp or social media who says they work for either company.
- If a stranger asked you to buy a gift card and send them the code, stop. That is one of the most common scams there is.
Which should you use?
If you are selling a Google Play or Amazon card and want the most naira today, start with Nosh. If you sell Apple or Steam cards, the two were close enough that the app you already trust is a fine choice. If you want to be paid in USDT or run a business that sells cards in bulk, Prestmit is the better fit. Either way, check both apps on the day you sell, because the order can change by tomorrow.
