shoutouts vs Kudoboard
Looking for a Kudoboard alternative?
shoutouts is a group card site where nobody who signs makes an account and a card takes as many signers as it gets, on every plan. Three things set it apart from Kudoboard; the rest of this page is the numbers, and the places Kudoboard is ahead.
No cap
On who signs, on any plan
Kudoboard prices its cards by post count: 20 on Lite, 100 on Premium. A shoutouts card takes everyone who signs it, free included.
No login
For anyone signing, ever
Team cards included. Kudoboard lets guests skip email on a single board, but its Business and Enterprise boards ask signers to register by default.
Fix it later
Signers can edit what they wrote
From the same browser, any time until the card is delivered. A Kudoboard guest who skipped email can't change their post afterwards.
