  • Each has a real cost: Fond acquired by Reward Gateway and now sold as part of their employee engagement suite rather than independently; Workvivo the pricing page publishes no price, no minimum and no per-licence rate; the vendor states cost depends on licence count and organisation needs and requires a custom quote
  • They diverge on capability: Fond covers Social recognition, Workvivo covers Social activity feed.
