### "Motivosity is motivating! I enjoy this program"

February 10, 2026

5.0

It has been eye opening for me to see the kinds of things people recognize as something to thank someone for. The little things we do really matter to people. I personally have appreciated the little thank yous and I have heard several other express their joy over knowing they are appreciated!

Pros

The best part about Motivosity, which is probably obvious, is the ability to thank your coworkers, leaders, subordinates, those in dotted line relationships, etc. for a wide variety of things with or without the Bucks. It seems safe to use- as far getting gift cards it seemed really secure. I had no issues.

Cons

I feel like Motivosity is set up in a familiar social media way so it was easy to navigate and use I think. But the challenge really is getting people to use it. I mean some people just don't do social media or don't understand it. I am sure the worst part for me is really not having a lot of Bucks to give to my team. I understand that is more of a company budget thing but I am really overall happy with it.

### "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.

### "Strengthening Connections in a Remote Workplace"

August 27, 2025

5.0

Motivosity provides an affordable virtual platform for our remote team to celebrate each other, connect, and share beyond work topics. It has strengthened our team, fostered deeper connections, and boosted collaboration across the organization.

Pros

As a fully remote team, Motivosity has given us a virtual space to recognize one another and connect over shared interests. It’s a fun, dynamic way to keep positivity flowing throughout the organization and makes celebrating both small and big wins effortless.

Cons

We haven't had any negative experiences. Spaces was a really great addition to the platform and made it stand out from other options. Surveys would be a nice feature to add.

Reason for choosing Motivosity

Terryberry has a phenomenal wellness section, but it was outside of our price range. If we had more budget, since we are a wellness compnay, we probably would have selected Terryberry Bonusly was very similar to Motivosity, but the UI wasnt as attractive. Pricing was about the same. And the spaces section was also a plus with Motivosity

### "Motivosity - Get it, Use it, You'll Love it!"

August 27, 2025

5.0

Motivosity is a great tool! I highly recommend it. Once it's set up, it's easy to maintain. Adding funds for redemptions is easy. Adding and removing members is also easy. Every person in our company uses Motivosity and appreciates the encouragement received from their peers.

Pros

My company uses Motivosity regularly to connect, support and give encouraging words and rewards to our team. We've been able to create several custom rewards that provide a PTO day and charity options for redeeming rewards.

Cons

There are some learning curves with Motivosity. They are not overwhelming but setting things up takes a little time. It also takes a bit of training for the team to learn and remember to use the platform as a way to recognize team members for excellence and innovation.

### "Motivosity Platform Review"

February 24, 2026

3.0

Overall our employees are very engaged in the platform but we do think there is room for improvement from an admin standpoint.

Pros

From a user standpoint it is easy to use and the ThanksMatters Card makes employee redemptions convenient and efficient.

Cons

From an Admin standpoint it is not always intuitive where to make updates and pull reports etc. We also did not like all the reminder emails that we had no control over. We now have control over what emails are sent out making the experience better. Funding the account is also a pain point for us, it takes too long for deposited funds to become available.

Reason for choosing Motivosity

We choose Motivosity because of ThanksMatters card, the price, and they said our Ireland team could use it as well.

### "I had my doubts at first, but Motivosity has had a meaningful impact at my company."

January 27, 2026

5.0

When I heard from our HR team that we'd be rolling out Motivosity, I had some serious doubts about it. The idea of thanking coworkers with a $1 "tip" here and there seemed gimmicky at best and borderline insulting at worse. However, after using it for over 2 years, I'm happy to admit I was wrong. They've somehow built a platform that doesn't feel weird to use at all, and actually succeeds in remind you to give thanks. (My own rewards have basically funded my casual video game habit as well.)

Pros

Motivosity helps remind me to pause and take time to thank and recognize people on my team (and other teams) for going above and beyond. The rewards system is a clever way of gamifying recognition too.

Cons

I'd have to get very nit-picky to identify any true cons with the platform, but I do wish there were more creative options for attachments when making a post. You're essentially limited to the stock GIF search it provides, which is typically lacking in options. You can bring in your own file attachments instead, but that's extra work for something that should be quick.

### "Motivated for Motivosity "

August 28, 2025

5.0

From the very beginning, I've worked with amazing MV team members on every stage of implementation, and the small stuff in between. My company jumped into MV, and never looked back! Almost a year later, and our engagement is still soaring, and we are excited to add more and more perks to our MV page as they are offered.

Pros

Its hard to choose! I would have to say, I love the 'peer to peer' aspect of Motivosity. Prior to using Motivosity, shoutouts were mostly given from management and now our Motivosity page is filled with peer to peer recognition from employees across all departments. Its so nice to have a plaform that brings a sense of togetherness and closeness to a fully remote team.

Cons

Whats not to love! There honestly is not a feature that we don't like. MV has some offered features such as wellness programs that we have chosen to wait on for now, but that's only so we have opportunity for the platform to grow more in the future.

### "Motivosity helps cultivate a culture of positivity"

August 27, 2025

5.0

All of our employees actively use Motivosity to foster a culture of appreciation and recognition. Each team member receives a monthly monetary allowance specifically designated for rewarding their peers. The majority of employees consistently distribute their allocations, contributing to a vibrant and supportive environment. Engagement on the platform is strong, with employees regularly recognizing one another’s contributions and celebrating successes.

Pros

Motivosity helps us cultivate a culture of positivity by keeping our team engaged, energized, and connected. We especially appreciate the automatic monthly allocation of funds, which makes it easy for employees to recognize and reward one another.

Cons

The only drawback I experienced was that Motivosity didn’t initially integrate with our employee portal, Paylocity. However, this has since been addressed with the addition of a Teams app

Alternatives considered

[Paylocity](https://www.capterra.com/p/86714/WebPay/)

Reason for choosing Motivosity

The functionality of Motivosity exceeded that of Paylocity's platform, even though it was integrated with our payroll system.

### "Motivosity Works for Us"

August 27, 2025

5.0

One of the high points with Motivosity is the innovation and changes to the platform. The ability to add a Swag Store with our company logo on a variety of items was great, as well as the ability to add customized surveys for our new hires at various intervals. We also appreciate the support and ideas from your customer service team to keep our staff engaged with the platform.

Pros

I enjoy the ease of use. It's very intuitive, so it's easy for all of our employees to use, regardless of job role. We continually hear from our staff that recognition from peers and from supervisors is extremely important to their level of engagement. This platform allows our staff to say thank you for a job well done without taking away too much of their work time. We use this platform as a selling point in our company recruitment efforts.

Cons

My only concern came with the introduction of the Swag Store to the platform. When we first introduced it to our team, there were technical issues that had to b worked through. Once those were figured out, we were good to go.

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.

Overall my experience with Motivosity has been a positive one. I like the points, the store, and the ability to give awards. The reward system in Motivosity it really well done.

Pros

I do like the ability to be able to track coachings, conversations, and appreciations. Also being able to sync my calendar with Motivosity has helped out alot. I do like the points and the store.

Cons

I don't like that if I cancel a reoccurring meeting because it needs to be moved that I have the possibility of losing all of my previous coachings. I also wish there was a way to ping or remind staff to enter feedback after a coaching.

### "We Love Motivosity!"

August 28, 2025

5.0

it has been amazing! Every employee is very active on the platform and it is a great way to give out awards or little rewards to employees.

Pros

movitosity is one of the best employee perks! Everyone loves it and it is a great way to recognize the team and make everyone feel involved. It is a very easy learning curve and new employees can learn the tool within minutes. Everything feels secure and there is definitely a lot of value for the cost. I like the email notifications with important dates and data.

Cons

Nothing! Everything about our experience so far has been great. Maybe a few issues we have had were - sometimes it takes awhile to transfer money in which causes delays. An additional issue we had was that one of our team members doesn't celebrate their birthday and all of a sudden motivosity was announcing birthdays on our auto-sync slack and took a bit to figure out how to not announce.

### "User Friendly/Employee engagement"

July 8, 2025

5.0

Motivosity seems like a great tool for organizations wanting to build a more connected and appreciative work environment. However, businesses should weigh the cost against the value it adds, especially in terms of customization and support.

Pros

The ability to recognize employees' achievements through peer-to-peer recognition. This builds a positive work culture and promotes a sense of appreciation among team members.

Cons

There’s a concern that over-reliance on recognition systems like Motivosity could lead to a "trophy culture", where employees are more focused on receiving recognition for every small task, rather than doing the hard work that drives meaningful outcomes. This can dilute the impact of genuine recognition, making it feel less authentic or meaningful over time.

September 22, 2025

Outstanding. 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.

Pros

I love the ability to thank my co-workers for working over the top and also use a variety of emojis/GIFs/text to convey my genuine message.

Cons

The GIF options do seem somewhat limited, but thats otherwise fine. Beyond that, theres only some nitpicks about how the site loads when logging back in. Seems like it takes a couple tries at times

### "Fantastic Employee Recognition Tool"

August 27, 2025

5.0

It has been a great tool for employee engagement and recognition, and it has become a big part of our company culture. It's also been a great way to reward fellow coworkers and employees.

Pros

It's easy to use and acts as a social media platform for the company, which is more secure and gives team members a chance to interact more with each other outside of their main workflow.

Cons

I'd like to see a few more options for ways employees can interact with each other using the platform, outside of sending appreciations.

I enjoy getting to reward my coworkers and it always brightens my day when I receive a buck from someone else.

Pros

The user interface is easy to use, the app as a whole is aesthetically appealing, and it makes me feel rewarded.

Cons

Some of the gift cards are finnicky where it all has to be used in one transaction, but that's typically an issue with each supplier. There have only been 1-2 times where I was looking for a specific brand gift card that Motivosity didn't have.

June 18, 2025

5.0

My company implemented Motivosity a few years ago and our morale has improved so much throughout the company. We see our employees fully engaging with the site and really showing their appreciation for each other. We love Motivosity!

Pros

That I can shoutout people without giving money. This increases the likelihood that others will add on money, or that we can just give our appreciation to someone without the inclusion of funds.

Cons

I have an error where I keep receiving the same pop up from a kudos I received 2 years ago. I wish that glitch could be fixed.

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.

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.

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.

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.
