Fond
Why
- Program setup similar with expiring point distributions, except distributions are not based on job titles.
- Similar implementation and onboarding assistance once you've signed up for a plan.
- Integration suite is comparable but lacks some of Kudos' options.
- Features a diverse range of reports, though the graphs and analytics aren't as strong as in Kudos.
- Lacks Kudos' option for support via chat, but makes up for it with 24-hour phone support availability.
Bonusly
Why
- Users get an expiring monthly allowance of points to give away, but the allowance amount is given to all users and not controlled by job titles. Unlike Kudos, non-monetary recognition not an option.
- Similarly clean interface more polished than Kudos and with a smaller learning curve for admins.
- Gift cards and charities being the main options in the reward catalog make it a direct match to Kudos' catalog.
- Same suite of integrations, but also features an open API.
- Same options of email, chat, and phone support, though the help center isn't as comprehensive.
WorkTango
Why
- Distribution of points to give away is not based on job title, but you can choose the cadence of expiration. Unlike Kudos, non-monetary recognition not available.
- Onboarding specialist assists with setup and launch, but you get to choose between a few onboarding packages to determine the level of help you receive.
- User interface feels relatively similar, but is a bit more attractive. Small learning curve like Kudos, but the interfaces manages to juggle its many features well.
- Integration options match and exceed that of Kudos.
