Bonusly review

Bonusly ranks first because it covers the core of a peer recognition program at a price a small team can approve without a sales call. The Team plan includes peer recognition, Slack and Teams integrations, iOS and Android apps, automated milestone celebrations, HRIS provisioning and 24/7 chat support. It costs $3 per user per month without the Bizy AI assistant or $5 with it, and annual billing gives two months free. Rewards sit outside the subscription: employees redeem points from the catalog and the company pays face value, so a $10 gift card costs $10 and there are no unused prepaid funds. Admins set how much each person can give and receive. Larger programs will want the Organization plan, which adds nominations and awards, incentives and spot bonuses, announcements, recognition quality reporting, SAML SSO and a dedicated customer success manager, but that plan is priced on request. For most teams that want recognition to happen every day in chat, the Team plan is enough.
