10 Best Leaderboard Software for SaaS and Sales Teams

The quick answer

Quick answer: leaderboard software falls into two groups. If you want a leaderboard inside your own product, Trophy is an API with metric, points and streak rankings (Pro is $299 a month with 10,000 users included), Open Loyalty adds leaderboards to a full loyalty engine priced by active members, StriveCloud packages leaderboards with quests and rewards for B2C apps from €999 a month, and PLG OS (our own product) ships a ready-made leaderboard screen next to streaks, badges and challenges from $49 a month. If you want to rank your own sales or support team, Spinify starts at $25 per user a month billed annually, Ambition at $45 per user a month, Plecto at $24 per tracked license a month, and Hoopla quotes after a demo. WordPress sites can add a leaderboard with BadgeOS, and engineering teams can build one on Redis sorted sets. Prices are as of October 2026, checked on each vendor's own site.

In-app leaderboards vs sales leaderboards

The phrase "leaderboard software" covers two different jobs, and most lists mix them up.

• In-app leaderboards rank your customers or users inside your product: the most active learners this week, the top contributors in a community, the teams that shipped the most projects. You need an API or embeddable component, rules that reset fairly, and a way to tie the ranking to product events.
• Team leaderboards rank your own employees, usually sales reps or support agents, using data from your CRM or help desk. They live on TV screens and in Slack, and they sit next to contests, goals and coaching.

Pick the group first. A sales gamification tool will not rank your app's users, and an in-app engine will not read your Salesforce pipeline. For the wider set of gamification mechanics, see our guide to gamification platforms for SaaS.

Leaderboard software compared

1. PLG OS

Who it is for: SaaS teams that want a leaderboard in their product without building the UI, alongside other engagement components. PLG OS is our own product, so weigh this entry with that in mind.

Pricing: a free tier covers 100 monthly tracked users, one component and one integration. Starter is $49 a month (1,000 MTUs, two components) and Growth is $149 a month (3,000 MTUs, five components, custom events, attributes, feature flags and audience segmentation). Scale is custom. Source: PLG OS pricing.

Strengths: the component library lists a Leaderboard Screen next to streaks, badges, challenges, a gamified quiz and a quest list, and the gamification page describes letting users compete for XP points for rewards. The gamification-as-a-service offer adds no-code dashboards to manage the components.

Limits: component counts are capped per plan, so a full gamification setup with leaderboard, streaks and badges needs Growth. It is built for product users, not for ranking your sales team.

2. Trophy

Who it is for: developers who want to own the leaderboard UI and call an API for the rankings.

Pricing: Pro is $299 a month with 10,000 users included and $0.015 per additional user; Business is $599 a month and adds data sync, a dedicated Slack channel, SSO and role-based access control. Both start with a 30-day trial, and Enterprise is by quote. Trophy also lists a startup program with a free year of Pro for up to 100K MAUs, with acceptance not guaranteed. Source: Trophy pricing.

Strengths: the leaderboards docs cover perpetual and repeating leaderboards (such as weekly ones), rankings by a metric, points or streak length, breakdowns by user attribute, eligibility rules, participant limits, start and end dates, and analytics on rank changes and score distribution. Achievements, points and streaks sit on the same API.

Limits: you build the front end, and the entry price is high for an early product with few active users.

3. Open Loyalty

Who it is for: brands that want leaderboards as part of a points, tiers and rewards program.

Pricing: quote only. Open Loyalty says it charges a platform fee plus an allowance fee based on monthly active members, where an active member performs at least one loyalty event in a calendar month. Source: Open Loyalty pricing.

Strengths: its leaderboard product page describes rankings on spending or any tracked behavior, sub-groups by location or custom attribute with their own top-1000 rankings and rewards, and API endpoints to fetch top members and a member's position. Leaderboards connect to its points, badges, achievements and tiers.

Limits: it is a loyalty platform first, and it is not open source despite the name; its FAQ says it is sold as SaaS.

4. StriveCloud

Who it is for: consumer apps with tens of thousands of monthly active users that want leaderboards, streaks and rewards from one vendor.

Pricing: Starter is €999 a month for up to 25K monthly active users, Pro is €999 to €1,999 a month for up to 100K, Scale is €1,999 a month for up to 500K, and Enterprise is custom. Source: StriveCloud pricing.

Strengths: Starter includes streaks, quests, leaderboards, raffles and rewards, no-code widgets embedded as iframes plus API access, and a basic virtual currency and loyalty shop. Pro adds a white-label engagement hub and A/B tests.

Limits: prices are in euros and aimed at B2C apps with real traffic, so it is a large step for a B2B SaaS product.

5. BadgeOS

Who it is for: membership, community and course sites running on WordPress.

Pricing: the Single Site plan is $69 a year and includes the BadgeOS Reports, Congratulations and Leaderboards add-ons. All Access is $179 a year and Unlimited Sites is $259 a year. Source: BadgeOS.

Strengths: achievements, ranks and points for actions such as logging in, commenting or finishing tasks, with a widget that shows each member what they have earned.

Limits: WordPress only, and the leaderboard is an add-on to a badge plugin rather than a ranking engine.

6. Spinify

Who it is for: sales teams of five or more that want live leaderboards on TVs, web and mobile.

Pricing: Business is $25 per user a month billed annually with a five-user minimum. Enterprise uses a custom flat rate for organizations of 200 or more seats. A free trial needs no credit card. Source: Spinify pricing.

Strengths: every plan includes unlimited TV displays and competitions, 250+ ready-made templates, AI agents for coaching and recognition, and integrations including Salesforce and HubSpot.

Limits: it ranks employees from business systems, not users inside your product. Full API access is listed on Enterprise.

7. Ambition

Who it is for: sales organizations that want leaderboards tied to scorecards and coaching.

Pricing: Starter (Seller Activation) is $45 per user a month, Pro (Coaching Orchestration) $65 and Enterprise (Revenue Execution System) $75, with AI add-ons from $4 to $5 per user a month. Source: Ambition pricing.

Strengths: the Starter plan lists real-time leaderboards and competitions, activity and objective scorecards and automated accolades, and the feature list also covers TV displays, Salesforce user field syncing and API access.

Limits: the higher tiers are about coaching and pipeline, so it costs more than a leaderboard-only tool.

8. Plecto

Who it is for: sales and support teams that want KPI dashboards and contests on one screen.

Pricing: Medium is $24 a month per tracked license and Large $37.20, both billed annually with a minimum of 10 licenses; Enterprise is custom. There is a free 14-day trial. Source: Plecto pricing.

Strengths: real-time KPI dashboards, achievements and notifications on Medium, and contests, a spinning wheel and a reward store on Large, with 150+ integrations.

Limits: contests are not on the cheapest plan, and it is a team tool rather than an in-app one.

9. Hoopla

Who it is for: inside and remote sales teams that want leaderboards, tournaments and recognition.

Pricing: not published; Hoopla sends pricing requests to a demo.

Strengths: live KPI dashboards and leaderboards broadcast to screens, races, tournaments and head-to-head matchups, and a built-in rewards store.

Limits: no public prices or self-serve start.

10. Build it with Redis sorted sets

Who it is for: engineering teams with a simple ranking and no need for a vendor dashboard.

Pricing: Redis is open source, so the cost is your hosting or a managed Redis plan.

Strengths: Redis describes sorted sets as a built-in data structure for leaderboards: ZADD adds a member with a score, ZINCRBY raises it, ZRANK returns a member's rank and ZRANGE returns the top of the list. You can keep one set per period or tournament.

Limits: you build everything around the ranking yourself: resets, time zones, fairness rules, anti-cheating, the UI and analytics.

How to choose leaderboard software

Start with who is being ranked. For your product's users, compare Trophy, Open Loyalty, StriveCloud and PLG OS on the mechanics you need beyond the leaderboard and on how they price active users. For your own team, compare Spinify, Ambition, Plecto and Hoopla on CRM integrations and TV displays.

Then write the rules before you launch. Decide the window (weekly or all-time), who competes with whom, and how ties and resets work. A single global board tends to discourage newer users, so smaller cohorts or relative rankings often work better. Our leaderboard fairness and reset specification covers these choices, and our post on how leaderboards improve user activity covers where they fit in a SaaS product. If badges are part of the plan, see our comparison of digital badge platforms.

FAQs

What is leaderboard software?

Leaderboard software ranks people by a score, such as points, activity or sales, and shows the ranking in an app, on a website or on a TV screen. In-app tools rank your product's users through an API or component, and sales tools rank employees using CRM data.

What gamification APIs exist for SaaS?

Trophy offers an API for achievements, streaks, points and leaderboards, Open Loyalty offers an API for loyalty points, badges, challenges and leaderboards, and StriveCloud offers an API next to no-code widgets. PLG OS ships ready-made components, including a leaderboard screen, through its SDK.

Can I build a leaderboard without a vendor?

Yes. Redis sorted sets store members with scores and return ranks and top lists with commands such as ZADD, ZINCRBY and ZRANK. You then need to build resets, fairness rules, the UI and analytics yourself.

Which leaderboard software is best for sales teams?

Spinify (from $25 per user a month billed annually), Ambition (from $45 per user a month), Plecto (from $24 per tracked license a month) and Hoopla (quote after demo) all connect to CRM data and show live rankings on screens.
