Before you choose
Compare plans and starting prices
Free plans appear on products such as Bonusly, GoProfiles, Guusto, Hoppier, BenefitHub and Perks at Work. Paid starting prices vary, from $2 per user per month for GoProfiles to $5 per user per month for Hoppier among the examples listed.
Pricing on request is used by BenefitHub, Cooleaf, Rewardian, Terryberry Be Recognised, Bucketlist and Culture Cloud. Check whether a quoted plan matches your recipient limit and reward needs.
Separate free plans from trials
A free plan and a free trial are different ways to evaluate software. Bonusly and Guusto list 30-day trials, while GoProfiles and ThriveSparrow Rewards Marketplace list 14-day trials.
Hoppier lists a free plan without a trial in its pricing note. Confirm the trial length and what remains available after it ends.
Match the platforms your team uses
The listed software covers web, iOS, Android, APIs, browser extensions and macOS. Cooleaf lists web, Android and iOS; Rewardian adds an API; Culture Cloud lists an extension alongside web, Android, iOS and an API.
Choose access that fits employee devices and any systems that need an API or browser extension.
Review reward and campaign controls
Compare reward types, redemption catalogs, incentive campaigns and global rewards. These fields show whether a product's reward approach fits the program you plan to run.
Look at recipient limits beside campaign and catalog needs. A plan that fits a small group may not fit a wider rollout.
Check HRIS connections
HRIS integrations are a comparison field for this list. Confirm that the product supports the HR system and employee records your program depends on before choosing a plan.
Also review recipient limits and platform access together, since both affect administration and employee reach.
