Short answer: pick MyRegistry if you want a long-established universal registry with cash gift funds, a barcode-scanning app and a browser extension. Pick the Diaper Reveal registry if you want something simple and free: add gifts from any store, let guests mark gifts as given, and share one link in 24 languages with no app. If you want cash funds, MyRegistry fits better.
Checked on 7 Nov 2026 from their public pages. Everything we say about MyRegistry below comes from the myregistry.com home page as it reads today. Their FAQ and help pages would not load for us, so if a detail is not here, we left it out rather than guess.
What each registry is
MyRegistry presents itself under the banner "All Stores, One Registry." Its site says there is "no charge to have a registry," and that a browser extension lets you "add any item from any store in the world to your gift list." It also offers store-registry syncing, cash gift funds and giving lists for nonprofits.
The Diaper Reveal registry is free too. You add gifts from any store, guests can mark a gift as given so you do not get doubles, and you share one link. It works in 24 languages and needs no app. Start one here.
