The short version

  • Only June has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: June the pricing page lists a single all-in-one plan with no price, no minimum and no named cost driver; 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: June covers B2B analytics, Kudos covers Peer-to-peer recognition.
