Awardco

Motivosity

Awardco offers a more comprehensive and global reward ecosystem tailored for global teams and diverse workforces. Through integrations with Amazon, Priceline, Viator, and other partners, employees can choose from millions of products, experiences, charitable donations, or custom reward stores. This unmatched variety, along with zero markups through Amazon Business and our A-Pay™ payment cards powered by Stripe, ensures every employee finds something meaningful, no matter their location or interests.

‍

Motivosity offers a meaningful but curated marketplace with gift cards, branded items, donations, and flexibility through the ThanksMatters VISA card. While these options work well for smaller teams, the catalog is limited and does not include direct vendor integrations such as Awardco’s integration with Amazon.

Awardco supports organizations anywhere from 50 to 100,000+ employees. Our customers rate us highly on reporting capabilities because we have built highly flexible and configurable reporting, budgeting, and compliance configurability to meet the needs of organizations of any size.

See how Americare built a custom platform, complete with eight different recognition programs, and finished implementation an entire month sooner than planned—and then saw an 89% login rate and lower turnover.

‍

Motivosity, on the other hand, has built simple, out-of-the-box reporting that, while designed for easy consumption, does not stand up to the scrutiny of more advanced needs. Some organizations who use Motivosity do not recognize these needs during initial launch and run into them later, which drives many to switch to more capable reporting and compliance recognition platforms like Awardco.

Awardco offers strong turnkey integrations to nearly every HRIS and HR platform. Further, our Slack and Teams integrations leverage advanced features to fully align recognition with how organizations communicate. Our unique Awardco Connect capabilities also allow us to develop additional workflows and automations beyond standard capabilities to match the unique needs of each organization.

Motivosity is best suited for straightforward use cases, where basic integrations are sufficient and more advanced capabilities are not necessary. Larger organizations or those with unique tech stacks may find their limitations more noticeable, or they may come across important business workflows and needs that simply cannot be achieved on Motivosity at all.

Awardco is purpose-built to scale—from small businesses to global enterprises—with robust administrative controls, program flexibility, and multi-language support. Companies can easily create and manage regional programs, handle budget approvals, and meet any compliance needs. In addition, the platform is designed to alleviate admin time spent managing the programs with advanced automations and workflows.

Motivosity’s simplistic approach and limitations make sense mostly for small organizations looking for a lightweight, easy-to-deploy solution. As teams grow or needs become more complex, companies may find they need additional flexibility or scalability because the short-term workarounds on Bonusly are no longer sustainable.

Awardco has invested heavily into the Product organization over the past three years, hiring top-tier engineers and developers and growing the team by over 300%. This has accelerated our roadmap significantly and allowed us to plan, develop, and implement ambitious innovations that are unavailable on other platforms.

Motivosity staffs a lean and constrained development team to support its entire platform and roadmap (1 Motivosity developer/engineer for every 10 at Awardco). This forces Motivosity’s design principles to focus on standard “one-size-fits-all” solutions catered for simpler use cases and business needs—a major reason why organizations eventually outgrow the capabilities of Motivosity’s platform and need to migrate to a more robust platform in the future.
