We are working on obtaining greater executive team adoption to make our team's experience with the platform even more useful. Pros Ease of use, ability to give recognition and rewards to team Cons while performance and 1:1s are useful, we wish the product also offered performance reviews Alternatives considered [Lattice](https://www.capterra.com/p/151676/Lattice/) Reason for choosing Motivosity Ease of use. Recommendation by outside coach. Review Source DF Dani F. Human Resources and Training Coordinator Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Employee Engagement and Rewards - A Win Win" August 27, 2025 4.0 The implementation was very easy. The implementation guide includes videos from \[sensitive content hidden\], which helped me greatly as I am an auditory learner. Pros Motivosity has significantly improved our employee engagement. We are consistently seeing staff appreciate each other and share their success stories. Cons The reporting is a little less than intuitive. I would appreciate a file feed between Motivosity and our payroll system to automatically record required rewards.

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.

" 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 AJ Austin J. HR Data and Technology Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Motivosity- get if you want, or look into Awardco instead" August 27, 2025 4.0 Our overall experience with motivosity's platform and services is 4/5 stars. 3.85/5 stars if I were to be picky. Pros Its easy to use and employees love it! What a great tool in helping to drive our recognition and appreciation culture. Cons Over our time with Motivosity, we have encountered a multitude of bugs, errors, and broken processes their development teams can't explain. Customer service response times are also very lengthy. We even have a dedicated relationship manager that is mostly helpful most of the time. Alternatives considered [Awardco](https://www.capterra.com/p/140428/Awardco-Employee-Performance/) Reason for choosing Motivosity Did not know about Awardco at the time, and did not foresee the plethora of tech and data issues Motivosity would have.

" December 10, 2024 5.0 Overall, hands down one of the best platforms I have used for a company. Pros The little characters and ratings to see what type of employee you are. Cons There should be more options for examples on why we are being thanked. Switched from [Slack](https://www.capterra.com/p/135003/Slack/) Too much like social media. Not enough motivation to use it daily. Review Source ADW April D W. administration Retail Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "reep the rewards" January 13, 2025 4.0 overall i like motivosity. theres just so many out there these days, and reviewing i feel led to share my experience. i used to reward my staff when they reached a team goal or accomplished a major task as a star my only downfall thus far would be the layout of the desktop version on my laptop. if its the same else where id have to decline continuing this service. just make it easier for us to navigate through Pros dashboard, being able to track which employee got what goal accomplished, the leaderboard is also overall one of the best ive saw yet Cons need to see a more easy interface and layout, and maybe more local vendors to provide incentives for. Alternatives considered [Slack](https://www.capterra.com/p/135003/Slack/)[Profit.co](https://www.capterra.com/p/182965/Profit/) Reason for choosing Motivosity i can give and receive feedback in live time, instead of having to deal with emails and that hassle alone. when i chose, honestly, i liked more of what i saw review wise on motivosity than any other so decided to give it a try.

Director of Primary Care Services Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Honest Review " November 7, 2024 4.0 Pros The easiness as a manager/leader to review and filter while appreciating staff Cons compared to other platforms I cant say there is anything I dont like about Motivosity. Alternatives considered [Assembly](https://www.capterra.com/p/181224/Assembly/) Reason for choosing Motivosity We have used Motivosity before and it has been the best Switched from [Assembly](https://www.capterra.com/p/181224/Assembly/) it was much harder to use than Motivosity has been Review Source EM Ester M.

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.

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.

October 22, 2025 5.0 Great experience, use it as much as I can for team recognition. I have been able to cash out my rewards without any issue and to be fair, its good value for money. Pros Rewards and intuitive use. Fairly simple to navigate, just like social media which is great. Security as far as I know hasn't been an issue. Cons Personalization updates. Throughout your career things evolve and so one does. We should be able to easily update our personal information not only on textually but our profile customization as well. Also, every few weeks I'm asked to reenter my login info which I don't always have on me, so I have to reset my password every time. MFA would be a great option here. Review Source Response from Motivosity October 30, 2025 Thanks for your thoughtful review!

October 31, 2025 5.0 I like to connect with my colleagues, and it's also a good opportunity to remember birthdays, anniversaries and give find information regarding their jobs. Pros Platform works very good and interface is very nice. It is easy to connect with people and navigate.

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.

We’ve been using it for a few years and I think that over all it’s a very unique platform that brings positivity to the work place. Pros It’s a cool way to give thanks “publicly” to co-works and admins. I think that we can give out rewards or “copper coins” that translate to real money. I also adore the debit card design! Cons I don’t get notifications, even though they are turned on. I’ve tried every way I know how to get notifications but nothing has worked. It’s not a huge deal, so I haven’t bothered support with it. Review Source AK Amanda K. Paralegal Legal Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Motivosity for the win!
