Bonusly review

Bonusly covers the recognition side of engagement rather than surveys. The Team plan costs $5 per user per month with the Bizy AI assistant, or $3 without it, and annual billing works out to $50 or $30 per user per year. It includes peer recognition, Slack and Microsoft Teams integrations, iOS and Android apps, automated milestone celebrations, HRIS provisioning, 1:1s with smart agendas and automated manager alerts. Rewards are paid at face value when employees redeem them, so a $10 gift card costs $10, and admins set how much people can give and receive. The custom-priced Organization plan adds company announcements, nominations and awards, incentives and spot bonuses, company-wide analytics, recognition quality reporting, SAML SSO and a dedicated customer success manager. There is no benchmarked engagement survey, so most People teams will pair Bonusly with a survey tool. As a low-cost recognition layer that staff actually use in chat, it is easy to justify.

Who it is for

Teams that want everyday peer recognition and rewards rather than survey programs.
