Awardco

  • Tiers are defined by how many recognition programme types you may run, two on Standard and four on Scale, rather than by features or headcount
  • Small organisations under 100 employees start at $3,000, so there is a floor regardless of size
  • The A-Pay card, Company Store and Awardco Engage are premium add-ons
  • No per-employee price is published; larger organisations must go through sales

Perceptyx

  • Aimed at Fortune 1000 scale organisations rather than small or mid-sized employers
  • Split into named modules, Discover, Activate and Develop, so listening, coaching and learning are separate purchases
  • Pricing is not published
