How It Works
Cooleaf
All users can give recognition, but only admins and managers can award points. Challenges and performance goals let users earn more points. Points can be exchanged for digital gift cards, swag, or other physical products. Monthly budget determines how many rewards can be redeemed.
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 Bottom Line
Cooleaf
The top-down recognition and earning points through challenges and KPIs makes it good for incentivizing performance, but not for those wanting peer-led recognition programs.
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.
