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.

Qarrot
- Simple software
- Quick to implement
- Very low maintenance
The Bad
Bucketlist

Pricing
Bucketlist
Custom quotes and no public pricing, but we’ve seen quotes in the range of $1-$4 per user per month.
Qarrot
Basic plan for $59 flat fee. $3 per user per month for premium.
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.
Qarrot
Simplicity makes it easy to quickly implement. Can schedule a quick 1-hour onboarding session with Qarrot and be ready to go.
UI & UX
Bucketlist
Standard, somewhat bland look, but quite easy to navigate.
Qarrot
Basic interface, but not unappealing. Pain-free navigation thanks to minimal options and settings.
Reward Catalog
Bucketlist
Gift cards, charity donations, and local experiences like helicopter tours.

N/A
Analytics & Reports
Bucketlist
Other than some minimal default reports, doesn't provide much data to dig into.
Qarrot
Very basic reporting.
Support
Bucketlist
Email and phone support during standard business hours with a basic help center.
Qarrot
Chat, email and basic help center articles.
Extra Features
Bucketlist
Has mobile apps for Apple and Android. Can display the recognition feed externally via an iframe.
Qarrot
Can create “campaigns” around any measurable objective and award points to anyone who reaches the set goal(s).
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.
Qarrot
Employee recognition software that focuses on the fundamentals, which makes it easy to implement and use, but also very limiting.
