Bucketlist vs Terryberry

Bucketlist

The Bottom Line

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

Terryberry

The Bottom Line

A veteran in the employee recognition space that shows its age, for better or worse, but offers top-notch service and a uniquely strong background in specialty awards and trophies.

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.

Terryberry

Users give monetary or non-monetary recognition by choosing an award level, each with it's own point value and eligible givers and receivers. Earned points can be redeemed for gift cards, physical products, experiences, or donations.
