## Donut Reviews
  ### 1. Great functionality, crazy pricing

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Robert F. | Head of People, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 14, 2023

**What do you like best about Donut?**

Schedule was highly automated, and it took the work off my team and allowed mostly self service.

Good prompts and water cooler topics

**What do you dislike about Donut?**

THE PRICING

It basically priced itself out of the market. My last company ended up spending $15K+ a year, and although we had around 100 active users, it charges for the whole workspace (600). This pricing model has made me NOT implement it at my next company, despite the tool itself being solid. There is zero chance a company can support this kind of pricing when they looking at the softer side of employee engagement.

**What problems is Donut solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It did help employees from other teams to get to know each other. 
The CEO and some of our leaders really liked it and personally completed many many donuts.
