Scored in Employee Recognition Software
The short answer
Motivosity publishes price guidance: a platform fee of about $0–$2 per employee a month, modules from about $1, and small business plans from $3,000 a year. Nectar quotes bundles that join recognition with surveys and communications, and states SOC 2 Type II.
LeadChange Score: editorial assessment based on public information.
Pricing. Motivosity publishes a platform fee of about $0–$2 per employee a month and annual ranges by company size. Nectar publishes no prices.
Security. Nectar states SOC 2 Type II. Motivosity supports SSO and keeps data in the United States but names no SOC 2 report type on the pages we reviewed.
Fit and support. Motivosity serves small, mid-sized and large companies with 24/7 technical support. Nectar lists 24/7 support on its Nectar One bundle and says its platform fits companies from startups to global enterprises, without employee-count bands.
Bonusly has the highest LeadChange Score in Employee Recognition Software after excluding these two (8.8/10).
