We are working on obtaining greater executive team adoption to make our team's experience with the platform even more useful. Pros Ease of use, ability to give recognition and rewards to team Cons while performance and 1:1s are useful, we wish the product also offered performance reviews Alternatives considered [Lattice](https://www.capterra.com/p/151676/Lattice/) Reason for choosing Motivosity Ease of use. Recommendation by outside coach. Review Source RG Rachael G. Billing and Project Administrator Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Motovosity for the win!" February 23, 2026 5.0 I love being able to interact and praise coworkers. Especially if they are not directly in my office. It's a wonderful tool to help keep everyone connected on what is happening in the company, who does what, who is moving up, who learned what. What teams and entities are up too. etc. Pros The ability to praise coworkers work ethic, progress, accomplishments, awards or for simply learning something new. Cons I can't say that there is anything that I dislike about Motivosity. If I absolutely had to list something I would say not being able to view profile pics in a larger view. Review Source Response from Motivosity May 14, 2026 Rachael, thank you! Praising coworkers for the big wins and the small moments is what it's all about. Love seeing that come through for your team. BD Brenda D. Manager Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to Use, But Room for Improvement" September 25, 2025 3.0 The platform is generally easy to navigate and user-friendly, which I appreciate. However, I believe there’s room for improvement in a few areas that could enhance the overall experience. Streamlining certain features and addressing minor usability issues would make it even more effective Pros Writing an appreciation is simple, but meaningful. Giving Rezbucks to those who truly deserve it is more than just a thank-you—it’s a way to recognize the effort, attitude, and impact they bring to the team. It’s a small gesture that goes a long way in showing people they’re seen and valued. Cons The filter settings keep resetting, causing me to lose the feed of my team. It’s frustrating to have to manually reapply the filter every time I log in. Additionally, I’d really appreciate email notifications when someone comments on or likes a post. Currently, I have to log into Motivosity and search for the post just to see if there’s been any activity, which feels inefficient. These improvements would make the platform much more user-friendly and help ensure better engagement across the team. Review Source Response from Motivosity October 23, 2025 Thanks for your thoughtful feedback! We’re so glad you find recognition through Motivosity meaningful, and we appreciate your suggestions on filters and notifications—they’re great insights for improving the experience. HB Holly B. Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "5th grade teacher💓" February 23, 2026 5.0 I use it all the time to say a quick thank you to my colleagues. It helps us feel more connected as a school and staff! Pros I appreciate being able to easily give a shout out to someone, no matter their location in our building. It really changes the way people act toward one another in the most positive way. Positivity has always been my approach in life and this easily facilitates that in the work place! Cons Nothing. It’s great….I really wouldn’t change a thing! I love that we can look up by school, by state, by person. Review Source Response from Motivosity May 14, 2026 Holly, this is exactly what we hope for. Positivity at work is contagious, and it sounds like you're a big part of why your school feels that way. Thanks for sharing! VR Verified Reviewer Functional Analyst Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great for Recognizing Team Members" March 19, 2026 5.0 Pros Motivosity is a fun way to recognize employees and coworkers. It's easy to set up and offers great rewards. It helped build a more collaborative and grateful team environment. Cons My organization is quite large with thousands of employees. I often saw recognitions and birthdays for people I had never met. It would have been nice to have a special team or department focused setting to make focusing on my own team easier. Review Source Response from Motivosity May 14, 2026 Thanks for sharing this! A more collaborative, grateful team environment is exactly what we hope for. We hear you on the size piece too. Recognition in a 10,000-person org looks different than a 50-person one, and finding ways to make it feel closer to home is something we're always thinking about. JM Jarel M. People Operations Generalist Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Jarel Moore" February 23, 2026 2.0 When its works, its great. But its hard to depend on software I'm continuously having to email support about. Pros I like the idea of using a social media type platform for employee engagement. I also like how knowledgeable our account rep is about the SaaS the functionality. Cons Could be on the client side but a lot of the features seem to not work properly, and it takes a while for the support team to make fixes. Review Source Response from Motivosity May 14, 2026 Jarel, we appreciate you taking the time to share this. The experience you're describing isn't what we want for any customer, and we'd love the chance to better understand your concerns. Please reach out to your Customer Success Manager so we can help get things working the way they should. ML Megan L. Admissions E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Love it! Every workplace needs this" February 23, 2026 5.0 Absolutely love it! This is an easy way to keep your team morale up and give praise. I enjoy being a cheerleader for my teammates Pros It is a great way to give team recognition and individual recognition. There are no bugs I have ran across. Great value with lots of rewards. Cons Nothing. I love using motivosity. It is an extra boost for team and individual recognition. This is GREAT Review Source Response from Motivosity May 14, 2026 Megan, "being a cheerleader for my teammates" is the energy we're here for. Thanks for the love and the 10/10! MG Maria G. Lead Specialist Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I use it very often." October 31, 2025 5.0 I like to connect with my colleagues, and it's also a good opportunity to remember birthdays, anniversaries and give find information regarding their jobs. Pros Platform works very good and interface is very nice. It is easy to connect with people and navigate. Cons I noticed that my password doesn't work all the times even when it's not expired so I always use the one-time code to login. Review Source Response from Motivosity May 14, 2026 Maria, thanks for sharing! Connecting with colleagues and catching those birthday and anniversary moments is exactly what we hope for. We'll flag the password issue with our team so they can take a look. JM Jay M. CIO Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "5+ years and still loving it." September 24, 2025 5.0 We have been using motiviosity for at least 5 years now. Every year we evaluate if we will continue and the answer is always yes. It allows that team and individual recognition by all staff, not just managers. Helps our staff to remain connected to other departments and their efforts/accomplishments Pros Ease of use is probably the best feature of motivosity. It allows all our employees to participate in team recognition. Cons I wish I could give motivosity bucks when commenting on a post privately. From an admin side it is hard, or used to be, to reset the funding password to make changes to the funding account. Review Source Response from Motivosity September 26, 2025 Thanks for your thoughtful review! We’re glad Motivosity makes recognition easy and helps your team stay connected year after year. PK Peter K. Program Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great feature presented in a simple to use way" October 2, 2025 5.0 I love it, looks great, easy to use, and easy to integrate with other apps, like Slack. We love using it to communicate each others achievements. Pros I love that it's simple and entertaining to use! Motivosity represents a simple feature in a not overcomplicated shell. Love that you can recognise more than one person at the time, an entire team, and not only with money, because that's not all that matters. I love the public and private mode too! Cons Recognition categories are not always applicable, but luckily you don't have to use them every time. Review Source Response from Motivosity October 23, 2025 Thanks for the wonderful feedback! We’re so glad you find Motivosity simple, fun, and a great way to celebrate team achievements. JM Jennifer M.

I love being able to monetarily say thank you to my co workers and show them how much I appreciate their help and support. Pros It allows us to thank co workers in a creative, modern way. The app allows us to post before and afterwork on days we are too busy to use motivosity at work Cons I wish it had some more sophisticated ways to generate memes, cards, and other images (A.I. tools etc) to personalize our messages.

QAC Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Only one critique " July 8, 2025 5.0 It’s been good! We’ve been using it for a few years and I think that over all it’s a very unique platform that brings positivity to the work place. Pros It’s a cool way to give thanks “publicly” to co-works and admins. I think that we can give out rewards or “copper coins” that translate to real money. I also adore the debit card design! Cons I don’t get notifications, even though they are turned on. I’ve tried every way I know how to get notifications but nothing has worked. It’s not a huge deal, so I haven’t bothered support with it. Review Source MB Marchelle B.
