5-star service & support

Support for you, and everyone you're recognizing

Every account is paired with a dedicated Engagement Specialist, from onboarding onward.

Your Engagement Specialist stays by your side for the lifetime of your account. They're who you go to for a feature question or a hand getting a campaign out the door.

Your employees get direct access to our customer care team (Monday to Friday, 9AM to 5PM EST). When someone has a question about an order, a delivery, or a return, they can reach out by email or toll-free number.

Premium AI Features

An Enhanced Applauz Experience

Smart tools built to help you manage an effective recognition program.

pricing-ai-premium_ai-data-studio

AI Data Studio

Ask a question in plain language and get the answer from your own data. Which teams have gone quiet. Whether recognition is reaching the floor. Who hasn't been acknowledged in six months.

pricing-ai-premium_post-moderation

Post Moderation

Write your rules in plain language and the AI checks every post before it publishes. Anything flagged comes back to the author as an editable draft with a polite explanation, so nobody feels censored.

pricing-ai-premium_ai-culture-cast

Culture Cast

Turn the activity on your newsfeed into a professionally hosted audio podcast. Your frontline and remote teams listen on the drive home, instead of ignoring another newsletter nobody opens.

Data Security

Applauz is SOC 2 Type II certified

If your IT or security team needs our SOC 2 report for their review, your representative can arrange access to it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a minimum commitment to contract terms?

There's no minimum number of users and no required reward budget on our published pricing. You choose the term that fits your business: annual, or multi-year. Most clients start seeing a return within three months of launch, so we generally suggest an annual term or longer to ensure your engagement metrics are met, and you're providing enough runway to meet your requirements.

Are there any onboarding and training fees and what do they cover?

Yes, there is a one-time onboarding and training fee applied to all packages. This fee covers everything needed to get your program live and adopted:

  • Launch strategy and rollout schedule
  • Full program personalization and customization
  • Employee integration, roles and permissions setup, and department attribution
  • Training for administrators and team leaders
  • 90 days of hands-on support after launch
  • Goal setting and scheduled program reviews
Are there any administrative and platform fees and what do they cover?

Yes, there are administrative and platform fees associated with Service Award spend and reward Point purchases. These fees cover shipping and handling, insurance, order support, and payment processing on reward fulfillment. Global shipping is free for your employees.

Do you offer integration with 3rd-party HRIS?

Yes. Applauz connects with more than forty of the most widely used HRIS platforms, with employee data sync and SSO login. HRIS integration is available as an add-on to any package.

Microsoft Teams and Slack integration is included with Recognition Essentials and above at no extra cost.

How much do Reward Points cost and are they mandatory?

Reward Points are entirely optional. Points cost $1 for every 10 points purchased + administrative and platform fees. Points are available with Recognition Essentials and Culture Intelligence. The Service Awards package works differently: it uses single-use gift vouchers rather than points, so points don't apply there.

Do employees need a company email address?

No. Applauz was built for workplaces where a large share of the team is deskless.

Employees can log in with their email address or phone number, and platform communications can be sent via SMS as well as email. Frontline and shift-based staff can take part from day one using the mobile app, without IT provisioning a single mailbox.

What if we have more than 1,000 employees?

Our published pricing is built for teams up to 1,000 people. Above that, we price custom.

Custom pricing is available on any of our packages: Service Awards, Recognition Essentials, or Culture Intelligence. Reach out, and we'll build a quote around your headcount, your rollout, and the level of support your team needs.

Is our employee data secure?

Yes. Applauz is SOC 2 Type II certified. Please visit our Data Security page for full details on our infrastructure, development, and vendor management practices. If your IT or security team needs our SOC 2 report for their review, your representative can arrange access to it.

How long does implementation take?

Most clients are live within a few weeks of signing. Smaller programs can move faster, while larger or more complex rollouts take longer.

Whatever date you're working toward, tell us and we'll build the rollout around it. Your Engagement Specialist plans the schedule with you, since the pace depends on how much personalization you want and how quickly employee data can be provided or synced from your HRIS. Once you're live, our team stays hands-on for 90 days to help drive adoption.
