The Kudoboard alternative for coworkers who have a lot to say

Kudoboard made the digital group board popular in American offices. Thankeeu takes the same idea, one link that the whole team signs, and drops the post caps, adds voice notes and photos to every card, and lets everyone chip in to a gift without a second app.

Quick answer

The closest Kudoboard alternative is Thankeeu: a group ecard that any number of coworkers sign from one link, with no limit on messages and voice notes, photos and GIFs included on every card. Kudoboard’s single boards are capped at 20 posts on Lite and 100 on Premium, according to its pricing page in October 2026. Thankeeu also adds a gift pot and delivers in the recipient’s own time zone.

Why people in the US look for a Kudoboard alternative

Most searches we see come from someone who already used Kudoboard once and hit a wall. The usual story: a manager starts a Lite board for a coworker’s birthday, the board fills up at twenty posts, and the last few people in the department have nowhere to sign. Upgrading in the middle of a collection feels awkward, and the person organizing it is usually the one paying.

The second story is about video. On Kudoboard, video posts start on the Premium board. On Thankeeu, every card already takes voice notes, unlimited photos and GIFs, and the Most Popular card adds video and a short Memory Movie with music made from everything people posted. A thirty second voice note from a coworker who has moved to another team is often the thing the recipient replays most.

The third story is money. An office collection usually runs on a separate payment app, a spreadsheet of who paid, and a gift card bought at the last minute. Thankeeu puts the gift pot inside the card, so people sign and chip in on the same page.

What you get on each plan

Thankeeu is priced per card with no subscription, which suits most US offices that send a few cards a quarter rather than hundreds a year. You can design and collect messages for free, then pay when you are ready to send. The prices below the comparison are live, so they always match checkout.

• Classic: Unlimited signers and messages, photos, GIFs and voice notes, ten font styles, a reply to everyone at once, PDF download, scheduled delivery and the gift pot
• Most Popular: Everything in Classic plus video messages, PDF and Word files, YouTube and TikTok links, thirty font styles, replies to each message, up to five co admins and the Memory Movie
• Pack: Two or more Most Popular cards bought together at a lower price per card. Credits never expire and can be sent to a colleague’s Thankeeu account, so one budget covers several teams

Going away cards, birthdays and retirements in American offices

The going away card is the one that tends to outgrow a capped board. When someone leaves after six years, people from three former teams want to sign, and a few of them want to tell a long story. With no post limit, nobody gets turned away, and you can schedule the card to land on their last afternoon. See our goodbye card guide for coworkers for wording ideas.

Birthdays are smaller but more frequent. A Classic card covers a team birthday comfortably. Retirement cards often bring in family and former clients, which is where private messages help: a signer can mark their note private so only the guest of honor reads it.

Remote and hybrid teams across time zones are common in the US. A card scheduled for 9 in the morning reaches a coworker in Denver at 9 in Denver, not at 9 in New York. That small detail is the difference between a card that lands with coffee and one that arrives during a client call.

For workplaces that send a lot of cards

Kudoboard sells Business and Pro plans by headcount, starting at $299 a year for up to 50 employees on Business, with HRIS integration and milestone automations kept for Enterprise. If your HR team wants birthdays and work anniversaries to run on their own, look at Thankeeu for Teams. It imports your people from Rippling, Gusto, BambooHR, Deel and other HR systems, creates birthday and work anniversary cards automatically, and gives the company its own workspace.

Smaller offices often do not need a plan at all. A Pack of Most Popular cards shared between a few managers is a simple way to keep a budget for a year, because the credits never run out.

Where Kudoboard is still a fair choice

We would rather you pick the right tool than the wrong one. Kudoboard has printed books and posters shipped in the US, a large gifting catalog for employers, and on its Pro plan it lists Slack and Microsoft Teams integration. If those are the reasons you use it, compare carefully. If what you want is a card that everyone can sign, say something out loud on, and chip in to, Thankeeu is built for exactly that.

Switching from Kudoboard takes five minutes

1. Pick a design: Choose from more than 500 designs or upload your own photo for the cover, and put the coworker’s name on the front.
2. Share one link: Drop the signing link into Slack, Teams, email or a text thread. Nobody needs an account or an app to sign.
3. Collect and chip in: People write, upload photos, record voice notes and add to the gift pot. Reminders nudge the late signers.
4. Schedule it: Set the delivery minute in the recipient’s time zone, or send the link yourself when the cake comes out.

No. Every Thankeeu card takes unlimited signers and messages. Kudoboard’s single boards list a cap of 20 posts on Lite and 100 on Premium, with unlimited posts on Milestone.

Can coworkers sign without creating an account?

Can people leave voice messages?

Yes, on every Thankeeu card. Voice notes sit next to written messages, photos and GIFs in a swipeable carousel. Kudoboard’s pricing page does not list voice notes.

How does the group gift work?

Signers chip in any amount by card while they sign. The recipient claims the total to their bank account or as a digital gift card. In the US, contributions are paid in US dollars and fees are shown before anyone pays.

Can I schedule a going away card for a specific time?

Yes, to the minute, in the recipient’s own time zone. It arrives by email, or you can share the card link yourself at the farewell lunch.

Does Thankeeu have video and a slideshow like Kudoboard Premium and Milestone?

The Most Popular card takes video messages and builds a Memory Movie, a short film with music made from the messages, photos and voice notes. Classic cards have photos, GIFs and voice notes but not video.

Can several managers share the organizing?

Yes. The Most Popular card lets you add up to five co admins who share the dashboard, which helps when two teams are throwing the same farewell.

What if my company wants birthday automation?

Use Thankeeu for Teams. It imports staff from HR systems such as Rippling, Gusto and BambooHR and creates birthday and work anniversary cards automatically. On Kudoboard, HRIS integration and milestone automations are listed under Enterprise.

Can I move a Kudoboard I already started?

There is no import from Kudoboard. Most people finish the board they started and use Thankeeu for the next one. Starting fresh takes a few minutes.

How do I pay?

Visa, Mastercard or American Express, and Apple Pay, Google Pay or PayPal. Prices are charged in US dollars.

Can people write in Spanish or other languages?

Yes. Signers can write in any language they like. The Thankeeu app itself is in English.

Can I print the card?

Every card can be downloaded as a PDF, which you can print at the office. Kudoboard sells printed books and posters, which Thankeeu does not.
