Where Freebies Engine by Log Studio Lab fits

Freebies Engine by Log Studio Lab is a rules engine for offers, built from templates. The Spend X, get a gift template is described as "Shoppers who reach a cart value get a gift added automatically." The Gift tiers template is described as "More spent, more gifts, in as many steps as you like." The Progress bar booster is described as "Show how close the cart is to a reward." For context, Shopify's own Buy X get Y discount does not add the free item for the shopper: its Help Center says customers must add all items to their cart manually.
