Bucketlist
Motivosity
How It Works
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.
Motivosity
Users are given a certain amount of Motivosity bucks every month to give recognition to other users. Earned bucks can be spent on gift cards or linked directly to a physical Motivosity debit card.
The Good
Bucketlist
- 14-day free trial (requires initial meeting)
- Easy to use
- Hands-on guidance through implementation and launch
Motivosity
- Easy to use for average user
- Globally accepted Visa card linked to a user’s earnings
- Majority of help articles accompanied by video demonstration
The Bad
Bucketlist
- Limited configuration options
- Help center lacks breadth and depth
- Very limited reporting
Motivosity
- Outdated user interface
- Limited report filters and export options
- Very few pre-made HRIS integrations
Pricing
Bucketlist
Custom quotes and no public pricing, but we’ve seen quotes in the range of $1-$4 per user per month.
Motivosity
Free for non-monetary recognition, $5 per user per month for monetary recognition.
Setup & Onboarding
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.
Motivosity
Limited setup/onboarding assistance and in-app guidance.
UI & UX
Bucketlist
Standard, somewhat bland look, but quite easy to navigate.
Motivosity
Outdated interface that can be a bit cluttered, but easy to use.

Basic set of reports, graphs, and filters.

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.
Motivosity
An easy-to-use recognition platform whose interface can be off-putting, but its performance management and employee satisfaction tools could be a good fit for some.
