Bonusly
Bonusly has provided us a formal space to post recognition. While face to face recognition still occurs, this is a place where staff can post publicly or privately, but a majority choose public. It has been incredibly popular since our implementation. Staff love the ability to earn time off through recognition. That customized redemption is our most popular reward.

It will be an apt tool where only performance management is the requirement of the company in case there is no such tool in place. Like for a startup where the tool is yet to implement, this can help in managing the performance management with ease and a simple interface. Within a large organization where the requirements are beyond performance management, this tool will fall short

  • Great tool for assessments & development Profile, awesome graphs and highly customizable
  • Internal surveys as one of the most used feature, use of visuals to represent data is very impressive
  • Integration with Slack keeps me updated so emails are not lost in the sea of unreads
  • A personalized "To Do" list helps me save time.

Cons
Bonusly
  • Moderation. The freedom to post anything for recognition can get out of hand depending on your tolerance/company culture. There are very little to no tools around better this.
  • Bonusly has not done much in the way of adding features. Hard to call it a con but other similar platforms have extended into allowing more directed involvement from the organization. In other words: Bonusly is a little TOO hands-off in some ways.

  • Sometimes it is hard to navigate
  • It is tough to see how visible your feedback is and who views it
  • It took some time to get to understand the software

Usability
Bonusly
Bonusly is easy to use and intuitive for anyone familiar with technology and using websites. There is a page where posts are made, and a page where rewards are redeemed. It is very straightforward.

the cost was [the] main factor for us. I think the platforms are very similar. Bonusly is one focused on just employee recognition which is great and concise. BlueBoard offers a lot more by way of experiences and gift-giving for recognition but on the pricier side.

I didn’t select over workday since this was used in the previous organization. The major difference is that workday provides multiple functions which leapsome currently doesn’t have or have it and I am not aware of it may be. However, I still recommend Leapsome over workday since its simple interface is effective to users. It is a user friendly tool that can still produce multiple KPI and reports which are required for people management

Bonusly Screenshots

Screenshot of Bonusly’s home screen, which brings recognition to life with a social, real-time feed. Employees celebrate contributions with value-tagged messages, images, and emojis, while points accumulate toward meaningful rewards. This hub makes appreciation easier, and keeps the habits that drive culture right in front of everyone.Screenshot of Bonusly’s rewards experience, that gives employees access to a global catalog of gift cards, curated physical products, and nonprofit donations—all with instant fulfillment. Its categories and clear point ranges help people find rewards. With no markups and full visibility into spend, teams get a richer rewards experience without added admin work.Screenshot of Bonusly’s insights dashboard, which helps managers understand team health at a glance. Recognition trends, participation patterns, and value alignment reveal where the team excels and where support might be needed. With simple filters and export options, leaders can make data-driven decisions and run more informed performance reviews.Screenshot of Bonusly’s 1:1 workspace, which brings structure, shared notes, discussion topics, and past highlights into a collaborative view. Managers and employees stay aligned on priorities, celebrate wins, and address blockers early, with context from recognition and feedback woven in.Screenshot of where Bonusly automatically pulls together recognition, feedback, and work highlights into an organized performance recap. Managers get a clear storyline of contributions across months, and employees see their impact reflected accurately. This supports more fair, consistent, and insightful performance conversations.Screenshot of how Bonusly integrates natively with both Slack and Microsoft Teams so recognition happens in the flow of work. Employees can give, receive, and react to recognition directly in their chat channels, boosting participation and making appreciation feel immediate and natural. With updates and celebrations surfacing where conversations already happen, recognition becomes a daily habit—not another tool to remember.
