ThriveSparrow Rewards Marketplace helps companies manage employee recognition rewards using automated gift cards tailored by location. Its catalog includes more than 900 gift cards across more than 80 countries. Administrators can define reward criteria for automatic distribution, then set denominations, conversion rates, and total allocations by region. Rewards draw on a wallet: if its balance is too low, a reward remains pending until funds are added, and administrators receive a notification. The product also describes Wallet Recharge and an option to set the exchange rate between Kudos points and real-world currency. Named integrations include Slack and Google Workspace; ThriveSparrow also describes connections with Workspace, HRMS, payroll, and other software for syncing employee data. The marketplace is listed for Android, iOS, and web. A free plan and 14-day trial are listed, and pricing starts at $2/user/mo (annual). The Kudos plan is $2 a month per employee, billed annually, and includes automated rewards, Kudos analytics, custom reward setup, and customizable Kudos cards. ThriveSparrow says stored data is encrypted with AWS AES-256 and data in transit with TLS 1.2.
