Where they pull apart

Axero

Stands out: Flat published Axero Go prices plus a per-user band for Premium, with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Slack, Teams, and ServiceNow named, which is rare in a quote-led intranet market.

Watch out: Only Essentials has a self-serve trial (7 days); Growth and above start with a demo. Premium and Enterprise are quoted per user. Recognition is a module, not the whole product.

Not the right fit for

  • Global enterprises standardised on Unily or LumApps
  • Teams over 100 people that want a self-serve trial
  • Companies that only need Slack

Unily

Stands out: Personalised intranet and app with an AI assistant and Microsoft 365 gravity, aimed at large workforces rather than a 50-person wiki.

Watch out: Quote-only. The vendor pricing page states there is no free trial and no self-serve checkout.

Not the right fit for

  • SMBs
  • Teams that want a $10/user intranet
  • Buyers who insist on a free trial

Pros and cons

Axero

  • Published flat prices: $500/mo Essentials, $2,000/mo Growth
  • Microsoft 365, Google, Slack, Teams, and ServiceNow named
  • REST API
  • Self-serve trial only on Essentials
  • Not an enterprise Unily-scale intranet
  • Recognition is lighter than Bonusly or Awardco

Unily

  • Desk plus frontline intranet with Microsoft 365 gravity
  • Workday, ServiceNow, and Google Workspace named
  • Honest about quote-only and no trial
  • No public price
  • No free trial or self-serve checkout
  • Overkill for a company that just needs a wiki

What each one costs
