Where each one falls short

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

Perkbox

  • Perkbox no longer publishes any pricing, plan names or minimum headcount, so buyers must run a full sales process before they can compare it against Reward Gateway or Vantage Circle on price.
  • The value depends entirely on redemption, and a catalogue weighted toward metropolitan retail and hospitality delivers much less to a distributed workforce in smaller towns, which is exactly the workforce most likely to have been sold on the saving.
  • Recognition points are funded by the employer on top of the platform fee, and that reward budget is usually the larger of the two numbers, so a quote that looks cheap can hide the real annual cost.
  • Catalogue depth outside the United Kingdom is thinner, so a multinational rolling out one platform gives materially different value to employees in different countries while paying a similar rate for each.
  • Perks platforms have low switching costs and high substitutability, which means renewal negotiations are competitive but also that Perkbox has limited ability to differentiate beyond catalogue and price.

Profit.co

  • No published pricing at all; every deal is a custom proposal built with their sales team
  • Split into core modules and add-ons, so strategy roadmaps, one-to-ones, rewards and engagement are each extra rather than included
  • There is no free tier

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Perkbox: Does Perkbox publish pricing?

No. The pricing page offers flexible packages and a quote form with no plan names, per employee rates or minimum headcount.

Profit.co: How much does Profit.co cost?

Profit.co does not publish standard pricing tiers. Pricing is custom and determined by the modules selected (OKRs, Performance Management, Portfolio Management, Balanced Scorecard) and the number of users in your organization.

Source
Perkbox: Is there a minimum number of employees?

None is published. Perkbox has moved upmarket from its earlier self service positioning, so smaller employers should confirm eligibility early in the conversation.

Profit.co: How can I get a Profit.co quote?

Contact Profit.co sales team through the 'Talk to Sales' button on their website. The company commits to providing a custom proposal within 48 hours of inquiry.

Source
Perkbox: Is recognition reward budget included?

No. Recognition points are funded by the employer separately from the platform fee, and that budget is typically larger than the licence itself.

Profit.co: Does Profit.co offer a free trial?

Trial information is not displayed on the pricing page. Contact the sales team to inquire about trial access and custom commercial terms.

Source
Perkbox: Does it work outside the United Kingdom?

Yes, in Australia and parts of Europe, but the discount catalogue is much deeper in the United Kingdom and value per employee differs accordingly.
