Bonusly
Peer recognition and rewards in the flow of work.
From $3/user/mo 30-day free trial API
Bottom line
Peer recognition and rewards. There is no free plan; cheapest paid Team is $3/user/mo without Bizy, or $5/user/mo with Bizy included, after a 30-day trial.
Stands out for: A public $3/user Team seat and a 30-day trial, 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. There is no free plan for small teams.
Overview
Bonusly is peer-to-peer recognition and rewards. People give points in Slack, Teams, or the app; points redeem in a rewards shop. There is no free plan. 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. HRIS connectors are on Team. MCP tool calls are available on Organization (1,000/month included).
