    Convenient way to recognize employees

    Date: May 22 2026
    Summary

    Overall, easy to use. Cost to set up is reasonable, but adds up as you consider honoring more employees with kudoboards. Wish there were more wallpaper to choose from.

    Positive

    Convenience & ease of encouraging contributions. Easy to provide link for recipient to retrieve their kudoboard.

    Negative

    The wallpapers aren't as appealing as they could be, even though they provide a variety of wallpaper. Contributors have complained about the fees associated with donating toward a group gift.

    Super fun and easy to make all employees feel appreciated!

    Updated: Jul 23 2026
    Summary

    Overall, it's been a pleasant and fun experience. I like being able to make all employees feel special and appreciated.

    Positive

    Love the ease of sending out cards for all different occasions. Love that I can add gift cards for birthday gifts to employees and love the calendar that helps me keep track of everyone and everything!
    The options are nice for the cards and the gifs and memes are loved by all users!

    Negative

    Wish I didn't have to upgrade to add my mailing list. Paid a lot for the yearly subscription I feel like and to have to pay more to make my email list was pretty disappointing and I will not do it. So not sure going forward next year with this.

    Perfect for the Workplace!!

    Date: Jun 10 2026
    Summary

    For our busy office, trying to do something like passing around a card is IMPOSSIBLE. Kudoboard is perfect!!

    Positive

    Everyone can post their own message or contribute to a gift in their own time and in their own unique way! For a busy office like ours, trying to do something like passing around a card means going out to find a card, keeping track of it, making sure people who are traveling somehow get it---it just doesn't work and then people are sad they didn't get to contribute. This keeps things centralized, fun, easy, personalized and adorable!!

    Negative

    Some folks don't like having to create an account to contribute.

    Kudos to Kudoboards

    Date: May 05 2026
    Summary

    Overall experience is 10/10, so easy to set up, invite people into, and deliver the messages. Love all the different designs and possibilities.

    Positive

    Kudoboard is easy to invite others to share their messages of congratulations, best wishes, positive vibes, etc. With Kudoboard, it is nice to get a lot of messages in one place to read them all. It is affirming of that person being recognized, and it is also easy to send gift cards.

    Negative

    I really don't have any cons about Kudoboard. It is easy to use!

    cool Kudoboard cards to all occasions

    Date: Feb 27 2026
    Summary

    Overall, I really love using KudoCards because our team is large and remote, and it allows us to coordinate easily, stay connected, and have some fun while sharing thoughtful messages together.

    Positive

    Kudoboard cards make it easy for everyone—especially our large, remote team—to add thoughtful, fun messages in one place and stay connected.

    Negative

    However, they can sometimes feel a little less personal, and a few people still prefer the warmth and sentiment of a traditional handwritten card instead.

    Excellent Product

    Date: Feb 20 2026
    Summary

    Excellent product--Kudoboard is my go-to resource for capturing sentiments from colleagues when we have an employee who is retiring. It is easy to use and easy to share the link. Recently I learned that the recipient can also use it to send a 'thank you' to those who signed the board, which is a really nice feature.

    Date: Apr 23 2026
    Summary

    Truly enjoy the platform and we have seen an uptick on usage from the leadership team. From monthly to weekly.

    Positive

    Easy to use platform from the user and admin experience. From creating a board, to posting a comment.

    Negative

    More pre-made board options, and colours could be upgraded. In addition, more professional backgrounds.

    Morale Booster

    Date: Mar 27 2026
    Summary

    Overall, I love the Kudoboard product. It makes it easy for groups that are far apart/not in person to celebrate one another.

    Positive

    I like all the customization options to make the Kudoboard unique to the recipient. There are all kinds of occasions to celebrate and it feels like I could use this for anything.

    Negative

    I would like there to be more all-in-one themes, such as a font that corresponds with a background with a similar vibe. For example, a wacky birthday Kudoboard could have a similar wacky/fun font to go with it.

    Really happy to have a tool like this in our agency. We have shared it with internal and external partners to help make people's days special and it's always very appreciated. Choosing personalized GIFs is also SO MUCH FUN !!!

    Positive

    Kudoboard has allowed our team to celebrate important milestones like work anniversaries, babies born, birthdays and more with an independent opportunity for staffers to participate on their own time. Its a game changer!

    Kudoboard

    Date: Jun 05 2026
    Summary

    Using Kudoboard is a great way to engage a team that might not see each other on a regular basis. We send Kudoboards out for birthdays and work anniversaries, guaranteeing a smile from the receiver twice a year.

    Positive

    Very easy and straightforward to use. Having the ability to schedule in advance saves time and eliminates the costs associated with purchasing cards and time out of the office.

    Negative

    The only con, in my opinion, is the lack of GIFs.

    A great, low lift, easy to use tool to celebrate team members. Our team loves it and it drives energy every time one is sent.

    Positive

    Quick, easy way to build community across a geographically distributed workforce. Allows us to swiftly recognize milestone events personally and professional, and really build a team culture. Love the ability to automate the sending.

    Negative

    Requires building a system around to avoid forgetting someone. Cost.

    Summary

    Overall, I really love using this platform and it’s been so great for our entire team! I wish they would let you download the card for free but they forced you to pay even more money

    Positive

    It was great and such an amazing way to connect people especially for teams that work remotely. We were able to get teammates a card on various occasions and the card was able to be signed by everyone without us all being in the same state!

    Negative

    It seems a little pricey that you have to pay more to download your card I do not lien that at all. You should not
