Can Flaree integrate with tools like Slack or Microsoft Teams?

Yes, Flaree integrates seamlessly with Slack, allowing employees to send Flarees directly within Slack channels. Microsoft Teams integration is planned as part of our future updates, as well as Discord integration.

Peer Recognition That Reinforces Company Values

Generic kudos fade fast. Flaree makes recognition specific: every card maps to one of your company values, so a thank-you also reinforces the behavior you want more of. Senders add a personal message, points, and a GIF, turning peer-to-peer recognition into something people actually remember. Points roll up into leaderboards and achievement badges, giving your employee recognition program visible momentum and a clear tie to culture. Every plan includes peer-to-peer recognition, so you can start free for 90 days and keep core recognition on the permanent Free Forever tier.

How Peer-to-Peer Recognition Works in Flaree

Recognition only sticks when it fits the way your team already works. With Flaree for Slack, employees recognize colleagues without leaving the channel they are in, so appreciation happens in the flow of work instead of as another task. Prefer the web or mobile app? The same Flaree lands there too, keeping desk and non-desk staff on equal footing. You can start sending recognition the moment your organization is set up, no rollout project required. For deeper automation, connect recognition to your other tools through Zapier and the API.

Measure the Impact of Recognition

With Flaree's advanced engagement analytics, your organization can track the real impact of peer to peer recognition. Monitor metrics such as employee performance, team satisfaction, and overall workplace morale to understand how recognition influences business outcomes. Engagement insights provide visibility into how employees value peer feedback and contributions, creating a feedback loop that drives motivation and boosts productivity. A culture of recognition leads to improved loyalty, increased collaboration, and better alignment with company goals. By tracking these metrics, managers and leaders can lead by example and refine practices for peer recognition to maximize their effectiveness. Recognizing success isn't just good for employees; it's a proven way to elevate your entire organization.

Peer recognition for remote and hybrid teams

Distributed teams are where peer recognition earns its keep, because the informal appreciation that happens naturally in an office simply does not happen across time zones. Someone who solves a hard problem on Tuesday afternoon is invisible to colleagues who log on after they log off.

A shared recognition feed fixes that asymmetry. Every Flaree is visible to the team, so appreciation travels beyond the two people involved and quietly teaches everyone else what good work looks like here. Native iOS and Android apps mean frontline and non-desk staff participate on the same terms as people with a laptop, rather than being left out of a chat-only tool.

The practical test for any platform is whether recognition reaches someone who was not in the room. If it only works inside one chat channel, it will only ever reach the people already in it.

Free Peer-to-Peer Recognition Software

You can run a full peer to peer recognition program on Flaree without paying anything. The Free Forever tier covers unlimited users and includes the parts that decide whether a program survives its first quarter: sending and receiving recognition, nine card templates plus unlimited custom cards mapped to your own company values, weekly reminders, points, leaderboards, achievement badges, and the Slack integration.

That matters more than it sounds. Most free tiers in this category cap you at a handful of seats, which turns them into a pilot rather than a program. A recognition tool that excludes half the company produces no useful signal, because participation is the whole point. Unlimited users on a free tier means everyone takes part from day one.

The paid Advance plan adds the things a larger People Ops function needs: department rankings and filtering, sprint and quarterly leaderboards, automated birthday and work anniversary recognition, the AI card generator, and API, webhook and Zapier access. Every new account starts with 90 days of Advance free, no card required, so you can see the full product before deciding.
