Part 01 · Overview

Welcome

What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first

2.0

GPA, above 56 of the 101 other HR software we grade

Motivosity is an employee recognition platform built around a social feed, peer-to-peer thanks, milestone celebrations, nominations and spot bonuses. Employees redeem recognition for items from a global rewards marketplace. It also has pulse surveys, reporting, and iOS and Android apps. Pricing is quoted per company.

To get you started, here are 7 things to know about Motivosity, taken from its own pages and our grades.

Some perks, like the ThanksMatters Visa card, start only on the higher bundles.

The report card

Best for recognition with a mobile app and a social feed

Motivosity is a recognition and rewards platform with a social feed, web plus iPhone and Android apps. Its pricing page says pricing is fully custom and sends you to a quote form, and small companies are shown a $3,000 minimum. Some perks, like the ThanksMatters Visa card, start only on the higher bundles.

ToolGPA report cardMotivosityGraded Nov 13, 2026
SubjectGradeComment
Value for moneyCThe pricing page shows three bundles and no figures, and a $3,000 minimum for companies under 250 people. That's a floor of roughly $12 a head at 250 staff, but the real price is a quote, so C.
Free plan and trialFNo free plan and no trial is listed. You start with a demo request.
FeaturesBRecognition, rewards, a social feed and bundles up to a global program. The listing names no gap in the core job.
Ease of useCNo store rating on record, and you'd set it up with your own people data first, so it's an ordinary C.
Platforms and integrationsBWeb, iPhone and Android, with six listed integrations. No desktop app, so no A.
Grade point averageFair, out of 4.02.0

An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

Who Motivosity is for

  • Fits if you want recognition on phones as well as the web
  • Works for companies of 250 or more who can live with a quote-only price

Who it is not for

  • Skip it if you want a published price, since the page says pricing is 100% custom
  • Tight if you're under 250 people: the vendor shows a $3,000 minimum spend on its small bundle
  • Pricey if you want the Visa card and no gift fees, which start at the Building Culture bundle
  • Watch out: no free plan and no trial on record

Good to know

Good for

  • Companies with 75 or more employees that want a recognition budget tied to rewards
  • Distributed teams that give thanks inside Slack, Teams or Google Chat
  • HR teams that want service awards and birthdays automated

Worth knowing

  • No prices are published: the pricing page says pricing is 100% custom and sends buyers to a quote form.
  • The vendor shows a $3,000 minimum spend on its small-business bundle (companies under 250 employees).
  • The pricing page shows three bundles (Celebrating People, Building Culture, Scaling Globally) with no figures.
  • The ThanksMatters Visa card and no service fees on gifts are listed from the Building Culture bundle up.

Keep it, or make your own?

Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.

Keep it

The plain part of Motivosity you could make: surveys and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 6 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.

What you could make

  • Surveys and reports: an app builder makes these well.

What you could not

  • Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
  • A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
  • It plugs into other products, Slack, Microsoft Teams and Google Chat among them.
  • AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
  • What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: single sign-on.
  • The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.

What this rests on. Motivosity’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
