Nectar is designed for mid-size to enterprise companies and includes many features beyond recognition (surveys, communications, wellness). Their minimums ($125-200/mo) reflect this comprehensive scope but price out smaller teams.
Nectar has the highest rating in the category with 4,100+ reviews - impressive social proof. However, their feature set may be overkill for teams wanting simple peer recognition. Propsly focuses on doing one thing well.
Propsly intentionally focuses on peer recognition. Adding surveys and wellness programs would make us another bloated culture platform. If you need those features, Nectar is a better fit.
Technically yes, but you'd pay the $125/month minimum - that's $12.50/person when per-seat pricing is $2.75. For small teams, Propsly's free tier is much more economical.
No minimums, no demos, no waiting. Free for teams of any size.
