Seven rituals, one home

Recognition that actually happens.

Not a channel that goes quiet after week two. Pengu gives appreciation a structure β€” contexts, cadences, votes, and walls β€” so it keeps flowing long after the kickoff.

01

Kudos with context, not just confetti.

Appreciation lands harder when it names the why. Members give kudos against owner-curated contexts, tag multiple teammates, and attach the perfect GIF.

  • Owner-curated appreciation contexts
  • Multiple recipients and GIPHY attachments
  • Lands on the live kudos wall instantly
  • Auto-posts to Slack or Teams with @mentions

Awards your team actually votes on.

Run monthly, quarterly, annual, or spot awards. Open a voting window, let members cast ballots, then publish the winner β€” certificate included.

  • Member voting with role-based eligibility
  • Monthly, quarterly, annual, and spot cadences
  • Uploadable certificates, stored securely
  • A permanent Hall of Fame per award

  • Custom emoji scales, up to 10 points
  • Scheduled publication and locked integrity
  • Aggregated results, never individual call-outs

You choose which members and contexts are exposed

Meets your team where it talks

Slack-native. Teams-native.

Bring your own app, keep your own keys. Every kudos lands in the channel you choose, with real @mentions β€” and your credentials stay encrypted with AES-256-GCM at rest.

Slack

Bring your own Slack app. Kudos post to your #kudos channel with real @mentions, resolved by email or manual mapping. Tokens encrypted at rest; disconnect wipes them.

Microsoft Teams

Bring your own Entra ID app. Pick the exact team and channel, get HTML-formatted kudos with mentions, and let refresh tokens renew themselves.

Google sign-in

One-click SSO with Google. Profiles import automatically β€” no passwords to manage, no onboarding forms to chase.

Built like a platform

Your tenant, your rules.

Your subdomain, your domain

Every workspace ships on {org}.pengu.app. Business plans verify custom domains with a DNS TXT record and set a primary.

Roles and permissions

Org-scoped role catalogs drive member filtering, voting eligibility, and public kudos exposure.

Feature-flag rollouts

OpenFeature-backed flags gate routes and UI, so new capabilities roll out safely per tenant.

Encrypted by default

Slack and Teams credentials rest under AES-256-GCM. Payment history is sanitized β€” provider events only.

Org-scoped isolation

Every query is scoped to your organization. Your people, kudos, and awards never leak across tenants.

Certificates and icons, stored right

Award certificates and achievement icons live in S3-compatible storage behind authenticated routes.

Pricing

Start free. Scale when ready.

Philippine-priced, PayMongo-secured. Pay with card, GCash, or Maya β€” cancel anytime.
