January 27, 2026 5.0 When I heard from our HR team that we'd be rolling out Motivosity, I had some serious doubts about it. The idea of thanking coworkers with a $1 "tip" here and there seemed gimmicky at best and borderline insulting at worse. However, after using it for over 2 years, I'm happy to admit I was wrong. They've somehow built a platform that doesn't feel weird to use at all, and actually succeeds in remind you to give thanks. (My own rewards have basically funded my casual video game habit as well.) Pros Motivosity helps remind me to pause and take time to thank and recognize people on my team (and other teams) for going above and beyond. The rewards system is a clever way of gamifying recognition too. Cons I'd have to get very nit-picky to identify any true cons with the platform, but I do wish there were more creative options for attachments when making a post. You're essentially limited to the stock GIF search it provides, which is typically lacking in options. You can bring in your own file attachments instead, but that's extra work for something that should be quick. Review Source Response from Motivosity May 14, 2026 Matt, this review made our day. Recognition really does make a difference. Hearing that it's become a natural part of how you and your team show appreciation (and funded a few games along the way) means a lot. Thanks for sharing your honest experience! KW Kim W. EVP Business Development Management Consulting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Motivosity - Get it, Use it, You'll Love it!" August 27, 2025 5.0 Motivosity is a great tool! I highly recommend it. Once it's set up, it's easy to maintain. Adding funds for redemptions is easy. Adding and removing members is also easy. Every person in our company uses Motivosity and appreciates the encouragement received from their peers. Pros My company uses Motivosity regularly to connect, support and give encouraging words and rewards to our team. We've been able to create several custom rewards that provide a PTO day and charity options for redeeming rewards. Cons There are some learning curves with Motivosity. They are not overwhelming but setting things up takes a little time. It also takes a bit of training for the team to learn and remember to use the platform as a way to recognize team members for excellence and innovation. Review Source BD Brenda D. Manager Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to Use, But Room for Improvement" September 25, 2025 3.0 The platform is generally easy to navigate and user-friendly, which I appreciate. However, I believe there’s room for improvement in a few areas that could enhance the overall experience. Streamlining certain features and addressing minor usability issues would make it even more effective Pros Writing an appreciation is simple, but meaningful. Giving Rezbucks to those who truly deserve it is more than just a thank-you—it’s a way to recognize the effort, attitude, and impact they bring to the team. It’s a small gesture that goes a long way in showing people they’re seen and valued. Cons The filter settings keep resetting, causing me to lose the feed of my team. It’s frustrating to have to manually reapply the filter every time I log in. Additionally, I’d really appreciate email notifications when someone comments on or likes a post. Currently, I have to log into Motivosity and search for the post just to see if there’s been any activity, which feels inefficient. These improvements would make the platform much more user-friendly and help ensure better engagement across the team. Review Source Response from Motivosity October 23, 2025 Thanks for your thoughtful feedback! We’re so glad you find recognition through Motivosity meaningful, and we appreciate your suggestions on filters and notifications—they’re great insights for improving the experience. JM Jarel M. People Operations Generalist Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Jarel Moore" February 23, 2026 2.0 When its works, its great. But its hard to depend on software I'm continuously having to email support about. Pros I like the idea of using a social media type platform for employee engagement. I also like how knowledgeable our account rep is about the SaaS the functionality. Cons Could be on the client side but a lot of the features seem to not work properly, and it takes a while for the support team to make fixes. Review Source Response from Motivosity May 14, 2026 Jarel, we appreciate you taking the time to share this. The experience you're describing isn't what we want for any customer, and we'd love the chance to better understand your concerns. Please reach out to your Customer Success Manager so we can help get things working the way they should. VC Victoria C. HR Project Manager Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Motivated for Motivosity " August 28, 2025 5.0 From the very beginning, I've worked with amazing MV team members on every stage of implementation, and the small stuff in between. My company jumped into MV, and never looked back! Almost a year later, and our engagement is still soaring, and we are excited to add more and more perks to our MV page as they are offered. Pros Its hard to choose! I would have to say, I love the 'peer to peer' aspect of Motivosity. Prior to using Motivosity, shoutouts were mostly given from management and now our Motivosity page is filled with peer to peer recognition from employees across all departments. Its so nice to have a plaform that brings a sense of togetherness and closeness to a fully remote team. Cons Whats not to love! There honestly is not a feature that we don't like. MV has some offered features such as wellness programs that we have chosen to wait on for now, but that's only so we have opportunity for the platform to grow more in the future.

" January 4, 2026 5.0 I love the reminders, the ability to recognize anyone in my organization and the data it provides when I review who I recognized and how long ago. I love it! Pros I absolutely love the ability to recognize my peers across a very large matrix organization using Motivosity. Cons Initially, it was challenging to understand each function because I am not an intuitive tech user, but I was able to figure it out quickly. Review Source Response from Motivosity May 14, 2026 Thank you for the 10/10! We're so glad to hear Motivosity is helping your large team feel even more connected. ML Megan L. Admissions E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Love it! Every workplace needs this" February 23, 2026 5.0 Absolutely love it! This is an easy way to keep your team morale up and give praise. I enjoy being a cheerleader for my teammates Pros It is a great way to give team recognition and individual recognition. There are no bugs I have ran across. Great value with lots of rewards. Cons Nothing. I love using motivosity. It is an extra boost for team and individual recognition. This is GREAT Review Source Response from Motivosity May 14, 2026 Megan, "being a cheerleader for my teammates" is the energy we're here for. Thanks for the love and the 10/10! JM Jay M. CIO Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "5+ years and still loving it." September 24, 2025 5.0 We have been using motiviosity for at least 5 years now. Every year we evaluate if we will continue and the answer is always yes. It allows that team and individual recognition by all staff, not just managers. Helps our staff to remain connected to other departments and their efforts/accomplishments Pros Ease of use is probably the best feature of motivosity. It allows all our employees to participate in team recognition. Cons I wish I could give motivosity bucks when commenting on a post privately. From an admin side it is hard, or used to be, to reset the funding password to make changes to the funding account. Review Source Response from Motivosity September 26, 2025 Thanks for your thoughtful review! We’re glad Motivosity makes recognition easy and helps your team stay connected year after year. EM Ester M. Branch Manager Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great place to post positive comments for our team members" August 20, 2025 5.0 I really enjoy thanking my co-workers and just seeing the accomplishments posted on Motivosity. I think it is a great product to offer staff. Pros I like to thank my immediate employees for the contributions they provide the branch. I believe that most like to be recognized in some form or another and Moivosity is the place to post. Cons Not enough Motivosity Bucks to share with other team members. However I really enjoy logging in and seeing other team members send appreations to their immediate staff or to staff located at other branches. Review Source PK Peter K. Program Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great feature presented in a simple to use way" October 2, 2025 5.0 I love it, looks great, easy to use, and easy to integrate with other apps, like Slack. We love using it to communicate each others achievements. Pros I love that it's simple and entertaining to use! Motivosity represents a simple feature in a not overcomplicated shell. Love that you can recognise more than one person at the time, an entire team, and not only with money, because that's not all that matters. I love the public and private mode too! Cons Recognition categories are not always applicable, but luckily you don't have to use them every time. Review Source Response from Motivosity October 23, 2025 Thanks for the wonderful feedback! We’re so glad you find Motivosity simple, fun, and a great way to celebrate team achievements. AD Andrew D. Project Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Still one of the best Kudos Systems" September 22, 2025 5.0 Pros I love the ability to thank my co-workers for working over the top and also use a variety of emojis/GIFs/text to convey my genuine message. Cons The GIF options do seem somewhat limited, but thats otherwise fine. Beyond that, theres only some nitpicks about how the site loads when logging back in. Seems like it takes a couple tries at times Review Source Response from Motivosity September 24, 2025 Thanks for the review. We will keep the GIF feedback in mind as we update the software. TE Tom E. Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fantastic Team Addition" October 21, 2025 5.0 This has been a huge driver of recognition for us, and a big push when we needed it for end-of-month or quarter pushes towards goals. Pros Ease of use and a wide variety of giving options make the process simple, inclusive, and accessible for everyone, encouraging more meaningful engagement and sustained participation. Cons Nothing needs to be changed; it’s simple, efficient, and works exactly as intended, providing a smooth and reliable experience without unnecessary complexity. Review Source Response from Motivosity October 30, 2025 Thanks for the great review! We’re thrilled Motivosity makes recognition simple and engaging, and that it’s helped drive motivation toward team goals. SS Sarah S. Customer Experience Supervisor Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great tool for employee morale" June 18, 2025 5.0 My company implemented Motivosity a few years ago and our morale has improved so much throughout the company. We see our employees fully engaging with the site and really showing their appreciation for each other. We love Motivosity! Pros That I can shoutout people without giving money. This increases the likelihood that others will add on money, or that we can just give our appreciation to someone without the inclusion of funds. Cons I have an error where I keep receiving the same pop up from a kudos I received 2 years ago. I wish that glitch could be fixed. Review Source AH Amber H. Organizational Sales Leader Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Generational Engagement" August 13, 2025 5.0 This is one of the best things our company brought to the team! It has improved company culture! This Pros It creates a social media space for team engagement that resonates with Gen Z and Millennials which is the rising population in your team. Cons I wish it was a bit easier to add videos. I can upload Youtube and I-movies. I wish you could record directly from the platform. Review Source Response from Motivosity August 14, 2025 We’re so glad Motivosity has become such a positive part of your company culture! Your feedback on video sharing was spot-on, now you can record videos right inside an appreciation and attach them instantly, no extra uploading needed. Thanks for helping us make the platform even better for teams like yours. SH Steven H. Executive Vice President Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Recognition Made Fun and Meaningful" August 27, 2025 5.0 Motivosity has been a great addition to our workplace. It’s easy to use, encourages positivity, and helps reinforce a culture of appreciation. While there’s room for improvement in analytics and customization, the overall impact has been very positive. Pros Motivosity makes it incredibly easy to recognize and appreciate team members in real time. The social-style feed keeps engagement high, and I love how recognition can be tied to company values. It’s intuitive, fun, and genuinely helps build a more connected and positive workplace culture. Cons The reporting features could be more robust—especially when trying to analyze long-term engagement trends. Also, the interface can feel a bit overwhelming for new users, and more customization options for notifications would be helpful. Review Source HD Hannah D. EA Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "love motivosity " August 27, 2025 5.0 My experience with Motivosity is really positive. It makes recognition and appreciation feel simple and genuine, which helps boost team morale. The platform is easy to use, encourages more peer-to-peer recognition, and creates a stronger sense of connection and engagement across the team Pros I love how Motivosity makes it easy to recognize and appreciate teammates and other team members can see the great work / team work is happening across the mkt function Cons It would be awesome if the dollars not spent could roll over into the next month. because sometimes there aren’t as many opportunities to give during a busy period. Having the unused balance carry over would give more flexibility and encourage people to use their funds more meaningfully when the right moment comes Review Source MR Melanie R. Manager Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Appreciation Approved" August 13, 2025 5.0 Overall it has been a great experience and it keeps me in touch with other employees. I love to see how other people are reacting to my posts. Pros It is a easy way to give appreciation and the rewards are awesome. Its easy to use and the setup is also smooth Cons It would be best if we could post videos and also send appreciation videos. Sometimes is hard to navigate the history of what you have posted.

Pros The positive engagement with the staff. I like that it is easy to create and give awards to staff for anything they do. Cons Nothing stands out at this time. I am excited to see the new store platform that I was visited about with my meeting with Jordan. Review Source RF Rafael F. QA Team Leader Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for building team spirit through quick appreciations" August 17, 2025 5.0 Very satisfied with it. Pros The buck reward system really helps me give small motivation boosts to my team mates. I feel like the process of quick and effortless giving of bucks as appreciations compound into a very positive feedback system that helps build teams =) Cons Don't really have anything to point out. Maybe the spending options could be greater, but that's not really something bad. Review Source Response from Motivosity August 21, 2025 Thanks for the review, Rafael.

I love that you can learn about each other, add gifs, send/create awards and badges! Pros I love how user friendly it is! I also love how much of a positive impact it has had on our company culture.

Customer Support Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Motivosity: A Fun and Engaging Tool for Employee Recognition" December 10, 2024 5.0 My overall experience with Motivosity has been very positive. As a people leader, it has been an invaluable tool for rewarding and recognizing employees in a way that’s fun, uplifting, and incredibly engaging for the entire team Pros What I love most about Motivosity is how it helps me stay connected with people I might not collaborate directly with but who have a significant impact on how I run my operations. It bridges gaps and ensures recognition and collaboration flow seamlessly across the team. Cons What I like least about Motivosity is the lack of a built-in direct messaging feature. It would be great to have a way to stay in touch with someone directly within the platform, without needing to switch to GChat or SMS for those conversations. Review Source TW Telesha W.
