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.
WorkTango
Monetary peer-to-peer recognition with points that expire and refresh on a cadence of your choosing. Earned points can be redeemed for gift cards, physical products, charities, and events/experiences.

Custom quotes and no public pricing, but we’ve seen quotes in the range of $1-$4 per user per month.

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.
