The short version

Viably and Bonusly, side by side

Bonusly is a full employee recognition and rewards platform, with points that staff redeem for gift cards and a set of engagement and analytics features aimed at HR programs. It is a comprehensive system, and it asks your team to work inside a separate product.

Viably keeps recognition where the work already happens. A teammate earns a medal from a reaction or a ++, Via records the reason and files it under the attribute that fits, and an honest leaderboard reorders in real time, with seasons that crown a champion and start the board fresh.

What it costs

Priced for a team of 40

Bonusly bills per seat, so the cost climbs with every person you add. Viably+ stays flat for the whole workspace, so the same set of powers costs the same at four people or forty.

Viably+$269 / month
Flat for the whole team of 40, about $7 a day on the annual plan.
Bonusly$400 / month
40 seats at $10 each, billed through the Bonusly platform on top of reward funding.

Which one to pick

Choosing a Slack app

When Viably is the better fit

Viably suits teams that want recognition to feel spontaneous and native to Slack, and that value having tasks, reminders, and an AI teammate in the same modular app rather than a standalone rewards program.

When Bonusly is the better fit

Bonusly is the stronger option for organizations running a formal rewards program where a monetary points economy and gift-card redemption sit at the center of the strategy, and where a dedicated HR analytics suite is a requirement.

FAQ

Bonusly vs Viably, answered

Does Viably offer monetary rewards like Bonusly?
Viably focuses on fast, meaningful peer recognition and on bounties that pay out a medal when a task is completed, so it fits teams that want a living scoreboard. Organizations that require cash-value points redeemable for gift cards will find that Bonusly is built around exactly that model.
Can we recognize specific values or attributes?
Yes. You define the attributes your team cares about, and a ++ with a tag files each medal under that dimension, so recognition stays specific and every attribute keeps its own board.
Where do we see the full standings?
Slack shows the top of the board and the latest movers, and the web command center holds the complete standings, every attribute, and the full season history in one place.
