User opinions about Kudoboard price and value

Value for money rating:

Of 79 reviews that provide robust commentary on Kudoboard's price and value, 62% mention it in a positive light.

Users think Kudoboard offers a useful free version for small groups, with the ability to have up to ten contributors, which they find ideal for limited occasions or teams. Some users say the free plan is easy to use and provides good customizability, and they appreciate the flexible pricing tiers that accommodate different group sizes. Reviewers appreciate that upgrading to higher tiers is straightforward and reasonably priced for expanding teams, and they find the cost for up to 100 contributors affordable. Some reviewers feel the product delivers good value for the money, especially for its intended purpose of group recognition and celebrations.

However, some users report frustration with the strict ten-person cap on the free version, saying it forces them to upgrade even for slightly larger teams. Some reviewers find the pricing for mid-sized or larger groups high, and they mention that frequent use or recurring needs can make the cost add up quickly. Users indicate that the lack of more granular pricing tiers between the free and larger paid plans is a drawback, and some feel the overall price is higher than expected for the features offered. Some reviewers mention issues with international transaction fees and wish for more affordable or nonprofit-friendly options.
