Where WagePerks is different
33–78% lower per-employee price
WagePerks is £4.50 per employee per month. Reward Gateway's small-business tier is £6 on annual or £8 on rolling monthly. For a 50-person team that's £225/month vs £300–£400/month — and WagePerks bundles HR, rotas, GPS clock-in and payslips that aren't part of Reward Gateway's product.
Operational tools alongside engagement
Reward Gateway's modules cover benefits, recognition, wellbeing, comms and analytics. WagePerks adds HR management, rotas, GPS clock-in, payslips and documents — the operational stack a UK SME runs daily, not just the engagement layer on top.
Full white-label branding
Reward Gateway supports programme logo and colour configuration. WagePerks ships with full white-label — your logo, brand colours, custom app name — included for every employer.
Voucher codes at purchase, not just discount codes
WagePerks credits discount vouchers to an in-app wallet that employees withdraw to their UK bank account. Reward Gateway focuses on at-source discount codes and salary-deduction benefits.
Where Reward Gateway has depth WagePerks doesn't
A fair comparison: here's what Reward Gateway includes that WagePerks does not, all sourced from Reward Gateway's own product pages on 2026-06-10:
- Catalogue size: Reward Gateway publishes 900+ UK retailers. WagePerks lists 200+ UK high-street brands with instant voucher discounts at 200+ UK retailers.
- Engagement module breadth: Reward Gateway publishes survey, comms and engagement-analytics modules as part of EngagementOS — relevant if you're buying primarily for engagement reporting.
- Native iOS & Android apps shipped: Reward Gateway's Engage app is on the App Store and Google Play. WagePerks runs in any modern browser today with feature parity; native iOS/Android Q3 2026.
- Listed-parent ownership: Reward Gateway has been part of Edenred (Euronext: EDEN) since May 2023 (£1.15bn acquisition). Relevant if your procurement requires a publicly listed counterparty.

Which platform fits your business?
Reward Gateway may fit if you need…
A benefits and engagement platform with deeper survey, comms and analytics modules and a larger discount catalogue — and you're comfortable not having HR/rota/clock-in in the same system. Their small-business tier publishes pricing transparently; enterprise pricing is sales-led.
WagePerks fits if you want…
To pay one bill instead of three. WagePerks bundles the engagement layer (benefits, recognition) and the operational layer (HR, rotas, GPS clock-in, payslips) for £4.50 per employee — vs Reward Gateway £6-£8 for the engagement layer alone, plus HR software, plus rota software, plus payslip hosting. Rolling monthly, no setup fees, white-label included.
