On a 20-person team, one unthanked month is visible to everyone. The upside: small teams also get the fastest culture wins, because every kudos reaches the whole company.
Recognition is a structural advantage small teams can actually press, and it should not require a budget line to start.
Everything you need to start, at no cost.
Unlimited users at $0, with Feedback Friday and kudos included.
Peer appreciation the whole company sees. Kudos post in the channel as designed cards with coins attached.
Automated birthdays and anniversaries, the coverage small teams lead in. Celebrations pull dates from your directory or HRIS and post on their own.
Install Matter, add it to a channel, and your whole team can start recognizing each other the same day, at no cost.

Yes. Matter converts existing point balances, migration is free on paid plans, and teams under 100 people typically switch in 1 to 2 days, under 1,000 in under a week. See alternatives and comparisons.
Switching is a smaller project than it sounds. Your balances come with you, the migration is free on paid plans, and most teams are live within days. Historical kudos do not carry over, so you start with a clean feed and full balances.
