- Sold as separate named modules, Recognize, Reward and Celebrate, so a full programme means more than one line on the quote

- Voice (call), SMS, and WhatsApp support operate on separate pay-as-you-go pricing models
- Customisation-based pricing structure means no transparent cost comparison with competitors
