How It Works
Bonusly
Users get a monthly allowance of points to award to other users. Allowance points are refreshed every month and do not roll over. Earned points can be redeemed for gift cards or charitable donations.
Bucketlist
Recognition can be peer-to-peer or manager-to-peer and monetary or non-monetary. Users get a number of points to give away every week, month, quarter, or year. Earned points can be exchanged for gift cards, charity donations, and local experiences.

Pricing
Bonusly
$2.70-$5.00 per user per month, depending on your plan and if you pay monthly or annually.
Bucketlist
Custom quotes and no public pricing, but we’ve seen quotes in the range of $1-$4 per user per month.
Setup & Onboarding
Bonusly
Free trial makes it easy to get started and trials come loaded with sample users, sample data, and a setup guide to familiarize yourself with the intuitive platform. Larger companies can benefit from implementation services.
Bucketlist
Requesting a demo or the free trial both require setting up an initial sales meeting. Regardless of choice, they remain hands-on up through launch to ensure rollout goes smoothly.

The Bottom Line

Bucketlist
Solid fundamentals with hands-on support through setup and launch, but lacks the feature set to support more demanding use cases.
