Four things that happen on their own. Shoutouts, weekly nudges, real rewards, and birthday posts. All inside Slack.
Shoutouts
Great work gets seen, right where your team works.
Good work shouldn't disappear in a busy week. With Culture Engine, anyone can send a shoutout in Slack — and the whole team sees it. That's how belonging and connection get built, one moment at a time.
Public employee recognition, not a private thank-you
Takes seconds — no new app to open
Drives high participation, not a once-a-year survey

@Maya gave a shoutout to @Sam + 100 Coins
You jumped on the customer escalation Friday night without being asked and had it sorted before Monday. The client even wrote in to say thanks. You saved the week — appreciate you 🙌

Automated nudges
Recognition keeps going, even when you're busy.
You run a company. You can't thank everyone every week. So Culture Engine does it for you. The habit keeps going on its own.
Friendly nudges keep recognition flowing every week
No dashboards to check, no reminders to set
The habit sticks — that’s how you get adoption across the whole team

This is how culture gets built — a little every week.
A team that sees each other's work, every week. Add Culture Engine to your Slack free — 1 minute setup.
Why most recognition tools fail — and what we do instead.
If you’ve tried a recognition tool before, this list will feel familiar. If you haven’t, it’s what to watch for. Either way, here’s what we do differently.
Ranking people turns recognition into a contest. The loudest win. The same names come up again and again. Everyone else stops trying. So we rank no one.
Rewards worth having
Points that buy nothing feel empty, and people notice. Coins turn into real gift cards — Amazon, Apple, Target, Starbucks. Or a prepaid Visa card. Or a donation to a cause they pick. That’s 2,500 options in 200+ countries.
Coins never expire
Points that expire cause a rush at the end of the month. Then they vanish, and people feel bad. Coins never expire. There’s no deadline, so thanks happens when it’s earned.
You never run out of ways to say thanks
Shoutouts are unlimited. A shoutout on its own still counts, and it costs you nothing. Coins sit on top, with a weekly allowance you set.
Everything stays in Slack
There’s no other site to log into. That’s the point. Recognition in another tab never happens. No second login. No app to install. It all stays in Slack, including the weekly recap.
Recognition comes from everyone, not just the org chart
Praise from the top runs dry, because one manager can’t see it all. Manager recognition still matters. It just shouldn’t be the only source. Here anyone can recognize anyone, in one channel the whole team sees.
Who it’s for
Built for teams that run on Slack.
Usually it’s the person who ended up owning culture by accident. Three roles bring Culture Engine in. Here’s what each one gets.
Recognition is a thank you, not a substitute for pay. It works best on top of a salary that’s already fair.
Shared channel support with dedicated team and priority support
People stay for many reasons. Fair pay. Room to grow. And knowing their work gets seen. We do that last part.
Prices in USD, per seat, per month. Coins (the rewards teammates send each other) are funded separately and billed only when redeemed.
Measurement
Employee engagement you can see without running a survey.
You don’t need a survey to know if this is working. The Weekly Recap posts right in your channel. It shows how many people gave or got recognition that week.
Always a team rate — never a per-person ranking
We never publish who got nothing
A dip shows up the same week, not eleven months later
If the rate goes up, the habit is taking hold. A survey tells you how last quarter felt. Recognition data tells you what happened this week.

FAQs
Everything you need to know about us.
Answers to your questions below — and a real human at the other end if anything is still unclear.
One minute, for a workspace admin. Add the Slack app, then add your team to the #culture-engine channel. Your team can send shoutouts before lunch. After that, the bot posts the Weekly Recap and sends friendly nudges each week. Recognition keeps going on its own.
No. Culture Engine is a Slack app. An admin adds it once, and the whole team uses it inside Slack. No second login. No mobile app. No browser extension.
You pay per teammate in your #culture-engine channel. Add or remove people anytime — your seat count updates on its own. You only pay for who is in the channel that billing period.
Every shoutout can carry Coins. The person who gets them picks a real reward: gift cards like Amazon, Apple, Target, and Starbucks, a prepaid Visa card, or a gift to a cause they choose. There are 2,500 options in 200+ countries.
Recognition tools fail when they feel like extra work. Culture Engine lives inside Slack, where your team already is. The bot sends the reminders, so you don't have to. That's what keeps people using it.
Start with a 14-day free trial. No credit card needed. Pro is $3 per seat, per month, billed annually. Coins are funded separately. You set a weekly allowance per person, so you control the spend. And you only pay for Coins that get redeemed.
Yes — cancel anytime from the admin dashboard. Your plan stays active until the end of your current billing term, and you won’t be charged again. No contracts, no early termination fees.
Yes. Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We only ask Slack for the permissions each feature needs. We never sell your data or train AI on it. The full details are on our Privacy Policy and DPA pages.
Teams support is coming soon. Drop your work email at the bottom of this page and we will email you the day it ships.
Employee recognition software helps teams notice and reward good work. Culture Engine does this inside Slack. Teammates send shoutouts with Coins attached. Coins turn into real rewards: gift cards, prepaid cards, and donations. It becomes a weekly habit, not a once-a-year event.
Culture Engine lives inside Slack. There is no separate app or login. Anyone can send a shoutout in seconds and attach Coins. It posts in your shared channel, and the whole team can see it and react. Recognition happens where your team already works.
The best employee recognition software is the one your team actually uses. Culture Engine is built for Slack. No new app to open. Real rewards, not points that expire. And no leaderboards, so it never turns into a contest.
Culture is built in small moments, over and over. Culture Engine makes saying thanks a weekly habit: shoutouts, real rewards, and birthdays posted on time. Bit by bit, it becomes part of how your team works.
