Considered Both Products	Bonusly Verified User Anonymous Chose Bonusly I think it's because of the cost. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Bonusly I evaluated Donut points, but I felt like they were still in the process of creating features that Bonusly already has. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Bonusly First one used Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Bonusly the cost was [the] main factor for us. I think the platforms are very similar. Bonusly is one focused on just employee recognition which is great and concise. Blueboard offers a lot more by way of experiences and gift-giving for recognition but on the pricier side. Incentivized Helpful? AK Abigail Koenig Founder/Executive Director Chose Bonusly I haven’t found any other platform that I would consider in a similar product to Bonusly. When we got involved with the platform, it was the only one of it’s type and we’ve been blown away with it since then. Incentivized Helpful? CM Candace Mitchell Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist Chose Bonusly Bonusly builds a recognition-rich culture like no other reward and recognition software by empowering everyone to recognize their peers, direct reports, and managers.

JM Jared Miller NOC Manager Chose Bonusly The "big name" to me has always been CrewHu. Not sure why they aren't in the listing at the time of this writing but they are far and away the big name from my perspective. This is the main other tool we've seriously considered and I think it highlights the opposite points I've … Incentivized Helpful?	Chronus Michael Pieri Sr Project Manager, People Strategy and OD Chose Chronus These are a "spectrum" of software options, some more sophisticated than others depending on the need.

User Testimonials
	Bonusly	Chronus
Likelihood to Recommend	Bonusly has provided us a formal space to post recognition. While face to face recognition still occurs, this is a place where staff can post publicly or privately, but a majority choose public. It has been incredibly popular since our implementation. Staff love the ability to earn time off through recognition. That customized redemption is our most popular reward. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	If you are going to scale a mentoring program with 50+ users (mentor and mentees) you need software, to get out of the "matching" game, this is a Chronus positive. You also want an ongoing pulse on how it's going, whos looking for a mentor, and adding new users. This is very easy to do with the software.

Pros	Great platform design - easy to navigate and fun to use Great job connecting teams to communicate and celebrate hard work Aces it on employee recognition and peer to peer feedback Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Algorithmic match Admin dashboard Connection plan User interface, mobile friendly Incentivized Michael Pieri Sr Project Manager, People Strategy and OD Read full review
Cons	There should be more option to redeem points like custom rewards. Then, more digital gift cards are popular for that specific country. We have a global workforce and there are different countries involved. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Mentoring software is only as good as we provide good internal mentors so accountably is on us to bolster the system with good mentors. When I evaluate the satisfaction of our mentees I need to hear "my mentor was great" and this is not a software result but a human result. Many of my Chronus contacts have changed over the years, sometimes I feel I know more than them. Incentivized Michael Pieri Sr Project Manager, People Strategy and OD Read full review
Usability	Bonusly is easy to use and intuitive for anyone familiar with technology and using websites. There is a page where posts are made, and a page where rewards are redeemed. It is very straightforward. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic

The most recent similar tool I evaluated is MentorEase. MentorEase seems to do much of the same at a lower price but I did not like the UI nor was the rep easy to understand. MentorEase may be good to match up new EEs with a "buddy". Chronus is more powerful we match on more sophisticated attributes.

Return on Investment	Employees are encouraged to "live the values" as other members see and recognize their achievements monetarily. This spreads a load of recognition from just leadership/managers across the entire organization, potentially eliminating/reducing a recurring existing task your company is currently doing. Features/freedom of posting in a 'social media' style environment encourages light-hearted comradery between employees.
