Bonusly Overview

What is Bonusly?

Recognition should do more than reward good work—it should fuel it. Bonusly’s employee recognition platform helps your team improve engagement and adopt the behaviors that set them, and your organization, up for long-term success. Unlike conventional programs that offer surface-level appreciation and transactional rewards, Bonusly combines meaningful recognition with performance tools to create lasting behavioral change and measurable results. Bonusly makes recognition more effective and improves employee growth, performance, and retention—creating a win-win for employees and employers alike. On average, Bonusly users receive recognition five times each month, providing leaders with valuable data about collaboration, performance, and team dynamics. Most organizations stop at simple thank-yous. With Bonusly, managers gain actionable insights to inspire their teams, drive growth, and ensure every employee feels engaged and empowered. With more than 3,400 companies—including DoorDash, Toast, Seat Geek, and Magna-Tiles—seeing better team performance and improved retention, we're proving what effective recognition can achieve. We make recognition meaningful, habitual, and connected to what matters most—helping organizations build cultures where people want to stay and grow together. Because when recognition is done right, everyone succeeds.

What do you like best about Bonusly?

Me agrada tener la aplicacion para hacer comentarios o felicitaciones a mis compañeros de trabajo. Recibir reconocimiento por parte de mis compañeros tambien es muy agradable, lo uso todos los meses, es facil redimir mis puntos, usualmente siempre los redimo en amazon donde encuentro productos que necesito. Rara vez he tenido que usar soporte al cliente debido a que es muy intuitivo y rapido.

Es facil implementarlo en la cotidionidad y facil de integrar tambien. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bonusly?

No creo que este sobre el control de bonusly, pero me gustaria poder entregar mas puntos al mes para poder dividerlos con todos mis compañeros con notas de agradecimiento!. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bonusly?

Bonus.ly keeps our team connected through simple, effective recognition. The tool was easy to implement and is straightforward to navigate.

The numerous features and easy integration add extra value to our work environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The reporting features are fairly basic. They offer enough insight to track our progress, but more detailed analytics might help us understand trends even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bonusly?

We love using Bonusly for spot bonuses and recognizing team members on the fly. It helps create a connection between team members and makes it fun to thank colleagues for going the extra mile. Key features we like include hashtags for themes, adding gifs and integrating with Slack for some quick messages and visibility.

We also love the options to either take the bonus or donate it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bonusly?

No downsides that I can think of. It's really easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bonusly solving and how is that benefiting you?

We used to have a process of "spot bonus" with each employee having a "budget" of $50/month. Bonusly not only has made it easier to manage, but made it more fun. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bonusly?

I really enjoy a public form for Kudos. As a manager, I can see the Kudos my team reviews, which can be used to help on performance reviews. It's also nice to be able to show greater appreciate than saying thanks in a direct message or in conversation, by giving coins that they can use to purchase gift cards to their favorite sites/stores. And who doesn't enjoy receiving gift cards! Easy to use, and great reminder each month to think of how all my coworkers have stepped up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bonusly?

Nothing...I missed giving all my coins one month because the last day was over the weekend. But now I have my reminder set on the last Friday of each month so that doesn't happen again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bonusly solving and how is that benefiting you?

Recognizing and showing appreciation to coworkers. It also helps managers get a better idea of how their direct reports are valued throughout the organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bonusly?

Slack integrations make it really simple for employees to fire off some quick recognition.

Easy as an administrator to make changes to different people, update amounts, get reports etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bonusly?

Billing is only in USD even though majority of our redemptions are in CAD, meaning we are always on the hook for exchange rates.

The Slack integration in general is great, but it underwent an update recently where it's a fully fledged workflow and the experience isn't as easy, as it also has a delay a lot of the time of when you submit vs. when the recognition shows which has created some issues. The delay wasn't there before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bonusly solving and how is that benefiting you?

Bonusly is making it easy for our employees to recognize each other and highlight the things, both big and small, that our employees are doing that demonstrate our core values on a day to day basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy and clean UI and the ease of conversion of bonusly points to Ecom vouchers available in respective locations.The included emojis and gifs add more colours to the app Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bonusly?

Could add decimal points as well to redeem or try reducing the conversion limits to some extent if possible Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bonusly solving and how is that benefiting you?

It acts as a pretty good way of recognizing top performing employees instilling them confidence and giving them the sense of appreciation

Employees are more satisfied without any additional compensation just with the redemption of ecommerce vouchers for their personal needs

Fosters great team recognition and employee interactability within the company developing a team bonding spirit Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bonusly?

I love that you are able to recognize colleagues for the great work they do, and that they can have a tangible reward for their efforts! The platform is easy to use and the fact that the company can also directly reward employees as well as their peers is a great perk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bonusly?

As an administrator, I would love to see more filtering options in the redemptions field. It would so helpful to be able to filter by location, as I work in an international company and sometimes feel that redemptions in my region can be difficult to find. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bonusly solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have frequent contests and friendly compatitions within teams, and bonusly is a great way to recognize and reward without having to spend time, effort, and money sourcing prizes. The social element of the platform also encourages the teams to share in their colleagues victories and accomplishments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bonusly?

Bonusly has been a fantastic tool for our statewide, community-based organization. It has helped us foster a positive culture of celebration and appreciation, making it easy for team members across different locations to recognize each other’s hard work. The platform encourages engagement and boosts morale by allowing everyone to give and receive meaningful recognition. Bonusly has truly strengthened our team connections and enhanced our workplace culture. Highly recommended! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bonusly?

I frequently don't receive email notifications when staff have given out a bonus (despite adjusting settings.) When the email function isn't working staff aren't notified when a team member is appreciated or celebrated unless they log in to the app, which seems to decrease overall engagement. When emails are consistent staff engagement seems to follow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bonusly solving and how is that benefiting you?

It allows staff a space to publicly recognize their co-workers for the amazing work they do each day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that its user friendly and keeps a good tracking Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bonusly?

I don't like how you only get redeemable points only if someone 'shouts you out' even if you've used your monthly allowable month to send to others. So if other people do not do the same, it can give the illusion that you're not like or appreicated Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bonusly solving and how is that benefiting you?

Bonusly is essentially a good way to people to be recongized and feel recongized by their peers or management which most employees don't get alot so its a good platform for this and the incentive to get rewards with good realistic gift cards that's usable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love being able to recognize and reward my teammates for their support and expertise and that they can do the same for me. I love the reward options, especially the gift cards.
