Bonusly
Peer recognition and rewards in the flow of work.
From $3/user/mo Free tier 30-day free trial API
Bottom line
Peer recognition and rewards. Free for up to 8 users; cheapest paid Team is $3/user/mo without Bizy, or $5/user/mo with Bizy included.
Stands out for: A real free plan plus a $3/user public Team seat, with Slack and Teams in the flow of work rather than a separate rewards portal nobody opens.
Watch out for: Bizy, the AI recognition sidekick, is included on the $5 Team plan (or $2/user/month extra). Organization is quoted. HRIS provisioning is not on Free.
Overview
Bonusly is peer-to-peer recognition and rewards. People give points in Slack, Teams, or the app; points redeem in a rewards shop. Free covers up to 8 users. Team adds unlimited seats, pulse analytics, milestone celebrations, and HRIS provisioning. Organization is custom. Bizy is the AI recognition assistant.
Team without Bizy is $3/user/month or $30/user/year. Team with Bizy is $5/user/month or $50/user/year. A 30-day Team trial includes Bizy. Slack and Teams are on Free; HRIS connectors are on Team. MCP tool calls are available on Organization (1,000/month included).
