Key difference: Propsly's free tier has no limits. Karma Bot's free tier restricts weekly karma and only shows 1-week leaderboards.
Propsly: Use the /props slash command. Clear, intentional recognition with customizable point amounts and messages.
Karma Bot: Simple ++ and -- notation (@user++). Intuitive for developers but can feel less intentional.
Propsly: No limits! Unlimited users, full monthly leaderboards, all core features included free.
Karma Bot: Weekly karma limits and only 1-week leaderboard history on free tier. Must upgrade for full features.
Propsly: Slack-only with deep native integration for teams that live in Slack.
Karma Bot: Supports Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Telegram (unique). Better for multi-platform teams.
Propsly: Modern, polished design with clean visuals and intuitive navigation.
Karma Bot: Functional but dated interface. Some users report the UI feels outdated compared to newer tools.
Propsly's free tier includes unlimited users and all core features with no restrictions. Karma Bot's free tier has weekly karma limits and only shows 1-week leaderboard history, requiring an upgrade for full functionality.
Both are simple! The ++ notation is quicker to type, but /props provides more intentionality and allows for custom point amounts and messages. Most teams adapt quickly to either system.
Currently, Propsly focuses exclusively on Slack. For teams that need Telegram support, Karma Bot is the only option in this comparison that offers it.
