  • Each has a real cost: Appointlet free plan limited to 5 members and 25 bookings per month; Kudos kudos publishes no price for any of its three tiers (Basic, Plus, Enterprise); the entire plans page gates every tier behind "Request a Demo" or "Request a Trial" with only a discount for not-for-profit organizations over 100 employees mentioned, no figures given (archived plans page, 22 February 2021)
  • They diverge on capability: Appointlet covers Scheduling links, Kudos covers Peer-to-peer recognition.
