Customer-facing delivery

Embedded, portal or headless

The full experience can live in your product, on your domain and in your visual system.

Hosted community plus quest embeds

Zealy communities live on Zealy; an individual quest can also be embedded in a webpage.

Quest and competition mechanics

Quests plus varied task mechanics

Streaks, check-ins, forms, polls, quizzes, games and rewards share the same profile, leaderboard, referral and automation layer.

Quests, XP, leaderboards and sprints

Zealy is purpose-built for community campaigns, reviews and time-boxed competitions.

First-party product behavior

Native product events

Events can update user state continuously and trigger later rules or experiences.

API task validation

At claim time, Zealy can ask your endpoint whether a user registered, purchased or completed another action.

Wallet and onchain signals

65 types categorized as Web3

These cover balances, holdings, transactions, transfers, mints, deployments and protocol checks; the broader catalog also includes NFT marketplace actions.

Holdings checks plus your own endpoint

Native token and NFT tasks verify holdings; custom onchain activity is validated through a project-supplied API task.

Social and community actions

X, Discord, Telegram and more

The live catalog also includes TikTok, YouTube, Reddit and LinkedIn actions; supported activity can contribute to Influencer Score.

Broad community task set

Zealy documents X, Discord, Telegram and other task types with automated or manual review.

Per-user intelligence

Cross-signal scores and segments

User, Wallet, Influencer and Referral Scores can control eligibility and automation.

XP, levels and leaderboard position

Zealy tracks community contribution and aggregate analytics; no equivalent unified customer-value score is documented.

Referral depth

Multi-level, outcome-aware attribution

Qualification can continue through activation, retention and revenue.

Community invites

Invite status can depend on an XP or mandatory-quest threshold and can be used in invite tasks.

Workflow automation

Native cross-signal rule engine

Tracked behavior can immediately change rewards, tiers, segments or downstream webhooks.

Webhooks, Zapier and integrations

Zealy emits community events and supports external workflows; the automation runs through those integrations.

Developer and agent access

REST, SDK, webhooks and live MCP

The connected MCP exposes the task catalog and campaign administration, including groups, quests, tasks, forms, rewards, raffles, tournaments and presentation settings.

Public API, webhooks and live MCP

Zealy's MCP exposes 72 admin tools for quests, members, reviews, analytics and more.

Public discovery and self-serve entry

Marketplace preview; still WIP

quests.claimr.io previews public quest discovery, but Claimr says the marketplace is not production-ready yet; commercial entry remains sales-led.

Marketplace and free plan

Zealy offers public community discovery, a working free tier and paid promotion options.

This comparison uses Claimr's live MCP catalog, current public Claimr pages and Zealy's official documentation. On September 10, 2026, the Claimr catalog returned 174 non-hidden task types, including 65 categorized as Web3; availability can still depend on account, project, provider or chain setup. Both products now expose live MCP surfaces. Claimr's Quests Marketplace remains WIP, while Zealy's public discovery and self-serve offer are treated as live.

How to choose

The differences that matter in practice

The most important distinction is not whether either product can create a quest. It is whether the quest is primarily part of a Zealy community program or one state in your own product lifecycle. Zealy brings stronger self-serve community operations and discovery; Claimr brings a more product-native delivery model and a deeper cross-signal profile for qualification and personalization.

Community operations vs. product lifecycle

Zealy organizes members, quests, reviews, XP and sprints around a hosted community. Claimr treats quests as one layer in an owned activation, referral, retention or loyalty flow.

Claim validation vs. persistent intelligence

Zealy's API task is a flexible way to validate an external action at claim time. Claimr keeps supported events in a profile that can affect later segments, scores and rules.

Both support MCP; Zealy leads on self-serve discovery

Claimr's live MCP can inspect task types and administer campaigns. Zealy publicly documents a 72-tool MCP server, a free tier, transparent claim-credit pricing and an established marketplace; Claimr's marketplace is still WIP.

Choose Claimr when

You need a branded in-product journey, broad social and Web3 task coverage, ongoing first-party event tracking, reusable customer scoring or referrals qualified by downstream value.

Zealy: better fit when

You want a fast self-serve community hub, established public discovery, built-in contributor workflows, transparent entry pricing or Zealy's documented agent-administration model.

Frequently asked questions

No. Zealy's current documentation covers hosted communities, many task types, quests, reviews, XP, leaderboards, sprints, analytics, a public API, webhooks, Zapier and MCP. Discord is an integration, not the whole product.
