Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Engagedly

  • There is a minimum spend of $7,500 per year regardless of headcount
  • All published per-user rates are billed annually rather than monthly
  • The platform is sold as separate modules, so performance, learning, survey and recognition capabilities are priced individually and stack up
  • Per-user rates are quoted as ranges such as $5 to $8 for performance and $3 to $5 for learning, with the actual figure varying by employee count and bundling
  • Recognition and rewards is a further $2 per user per month on top of the other modules
  • Every plan routes through Book a Demo rather than self-serve checkout

Reward Gateway

  • The pricing URL resolves to a contact and demo request page with no plan, no per-employee rate and no minimum published
  • The only routes offered are a 30-minute demo request, a broker referral or a phone call
  • The platform is split into separately named products for recognition, wellbeing, commuter benefits and discounts, none of which carries a published price
  • The company now trades as Reward Gateway | Edenred following the Edenred acquisition
