Detailed Review
Perkbox lists six recognition types on its platform: peer-to-peer, manager-led, company nominations and awards, values-based, milestone and life-moment recognition, and points-based reward.
Its privacy notice names SME HCI Limited, trading as Perkbox, a company incorporated in England and Wales (company number 05558651). The same notice also names an Australian entity and Vivup Financial Services Ltd.
One feed for recognition
Recognition goes into a feed visible across locations, departments and shifts. Colleagues can like and comment, and managers or admins can attach points. Admins see who is recognising others and who is not.
Part of a wider platform
Recognition sits beside perks, discounts and wellbeing support. That suits employers who want one vendor, but it means the recognition module is one product among several.
Pricing
Perkbox gives no price on its pricing page; it asks you to fill in a form for a quote.
Limitations to Consider
Pricing is by quote only. The privacy notice names entities in England and Wales and Australia, so check which one signs your contract. The pages reviewed do not state a hosting location. If you only need recognition, a narrower tool such as Workstars is simpler.
Who Should Use Perkbox
UK employers that want peer and manager recognition inside a broader perks and wellbeing platform.
