Pricing
What it costs
Nothing, if your company has fewer than 500 people. That's the whole sentence — no trial, no card, no seat count. Only pay if you want insights from the trends at an individual or company level.

Worth separating two things, because the rest of the site says free during beta and this page says free under 500 people. The Free plan is the plan — the loop, for everyone in the workspace, and it isn't going anywhere. What is free during beta is the two plans underneath it, which nobody is being charged for yet because there is nothing to charge for yet.
So: nothing you can do today costs anyone money. And whatever plan you end up on, leaving costs nothing either — removing kudoSnap takes two clicks in Slack and stops everything immediately, because that is Slack revoking a token rather than us processing a cancellation.
Over 500 people? Then the plan that fits you is the one that doesn't exist yet. kudoSnap doesn't count your headcount and nothing switches off — email us and we'll work something out rather than leave you guessing.
What paying never buys
The obvious thing to sell a company for $3 a head is a way to look at individual people. That is the one thing not for sale, on any plan.
- No manager view, on any plan
- No ranking of people, on any plan
- No export of anyone's votes, on any plan
- Nobody but the coworker you praised — never anyone else, on any plan
This isn't restraint we're promising to keep. The moment recognition can be filtered down to one manager's reports, it becomes something you can be measured with — and then nobody answers honestly, and there is nothing left worth selling. Paying buys a better read of the company. It never buys a closer look at a person.
What happens when this changes
Nobody gets surprised by a bill.
If anything starts costing money, every workspace hears it in Slack first — a DM to the people using kudoSnap, including whoever installed it — with enough notice to decide, and never as a charge that simply appears. Slack is the only way we can reach you: kudoSnap has never held an email address for anyone in your workspace.
Nothing that works today stops working without warning. If you want that in writing before you install, email hello@kudosnap.com and you'll get it in writing.
What we don't do
We don't sell data, and there's nothing here to sell — no messages, no email addresses, and no behavioral profile that means anything outside your own workspace. We don't run ads. The servers are close to free at this size; what isn't free is one person's time, which is the honest reason there will eventually be something to pay for.
One thing does cross a company line, and you should hear it here rather than notice it. Once ten people in a workspace have found out who praised them, a coworker at another company you share a Slack channel with can turn up as one of the four names. At most one of the four — and what they receive names your workspace, never the person who picked them.
If it goes away
It's one person building this, so it's a fair question. You'd get at least 30 days' notice by DM, and then the workspace's data is deleted. Votes are stored linked to who cast them, because the reveal needs both ends — what doesn't exist is a way to get them out: no export, in any format, for a workspace admin or for us. So there's no scenario where your employees' votes end up somewhere else.
The uncomfortable version of that answer, including which of these commitments depend on a person rather than on the software, is on who made this.
