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 AJ Austin J.

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.

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 Jillian M. Law Clerk Legal Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Cheers to positivity! " 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 VR Verified Reviewer Associate Dean Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Motivosity is a great way to recognize your peers. " 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 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.

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. CP Chesca P. EA Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "User Friendly/Employee engagement" July 8, 2025 5.0 Motivosity seems like a great tool for organizations wanting to build a more connected and appreciative work environment. However, businesses should weigh the cost against the value it adds, especially in terms of customization and support. Pros The ability to recognize employees' achievements through peer-to-peer recognition. This builds a positive work culture and promotes a sense of appreciation among team members. Cons There’s a concern that over-reliance on recognition systems like Motivosity could lead to a "trophy culture", where employees are more focused on receiving recognition for every small task, rather than doing the hard work that drives meaningful outcomes. This can dilute the impact of genuine recognition, making it feel less authentic or meaningful over time. Review Source 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.

Payroll Practitioner Utilities Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fantastic Employee Recognition Tool" August 27, 2025 5.0 It has been a great tool for employee engagement and recognition, and it has become a big part of our company culture. It's also been a great way to reward fellow coworkers and employees. Pros It's easy to use and acts as a social media platform for the company, which is more secure and gives team members a chance to interact more with each other outside of their main workflow. Cons I'd like to see a few more options for ways employees can interact with each other using the platform, outside of sending appreciations. Review Source 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 MD Madison D.

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.

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 SW Samantha W.

Pros We love helping our employees connect and recognize their accomplishments. It's so easy to reward them for their accomplishments and get them excited for events and activities. Cons We have found that we often get stuck in a rut and forget to engage in the platform. Many employees reward the same people month over month. Review Source MZ Megan Z.

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 BW Bethany W.
