Detailed Review
Workstars publishes one price: $3 per employee per month with recognition, milestones, rewards and awards all included. Its pricing page works out 50 employees at $150, 200 at $600 and 500 at $1,500 per month.
The company is Workstars Global Ltd, registered in England and Wales with its registered office in Wilmslow, Cheshire.
Recognition and milestones
Employees recognise each other publicly, and the platform automates service anniversaries, birthdays and onboarding celebrations. Award nominations are built into recognition activity, with winners chosen by panel or by vote.
Rewards and budgets
Workstars lists more than 5,000 reward options in 180 countries and pre-built perk catalogues. Reward spend is a separate, employee-driven budget, and the vendor states you are charged only when an employee redeems, not when budgets are loaded.
Integrations and scale
HRIS and SSO integrations are included, along with Slack and Microsoft Teams. Multi-country programmes can use local languages, cost-of-living adjustments and currency conversion.
Limitations to Consider
Prices are quoted in US dollars, so a European buyer carries currency exposure. The privacy policy page reviewed is dated 2019, and the pages reviewed do not state a hosting location. It has no HR suite features; for reviews and goals look at Small Improvements.
