Is Viably's recognition as simple as HeyTaco's?

Yes. A single reaction or a ++ gives a medal in the moment, so the habit stays as effortless as handing out a taco, and Viably then lets you file that recognition by attribute and run it in seasons whenever you want more structure.

Does Viably have leaderboards and rewards?

Viably runs an honest live leaderboard with seasons that crown a champion, and it ties rewards to work through bounties that award a medal the moment a task is marked done.

What else do we get by choosing Viably?

Beyond recognition, the same app brings tasks, issues, reminders, a shared calendar, webhook relays, and Via, so a workspace can consolidate recognition with the tools it already needs.

The short version

Viably and HeyTaco, side by side

HeyTaco brings a friendly kudos culture to Slack, letting people hand out tacos to celebrate each other and climb a playful leaderboard. It does recognition with real charm, and it stays within that single lane.

Viably offers the same immediate, in-channel recognition through medals and a ++, and it wraps that in attributes, seasons, and bounties, while also carrying tasks, issues, reminders, and an AI teammate, so recognition becomes one part of a wider operating surface.
