Great Work Perks review
A free core discounts program, with paid customization for broader engagement needs.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Great Work Perks gives employers a private employee discount program, with offers across dining, shopping, wellness, travel, entertainment, attractions and everyday purchases. It suits organizations looking to provide perks to office, remote, frontline and international employees, including employers that want to start without a subscription fee. Employees can access offers on web and mobile, while employers can add eligibility workflows, SSO and HRIS connections. The service is available to organizations of different sizes, from small businesses to enterprise teams.
Essential Savings is free for employers and includes the core discounts platform, with no recurring subscription or per-employee fees. Premium Engagement is a paid, customized option for employers seeking a branded portal and HR dashboard, HRIS and custom API integrations, a mobile app and expanded reporting. The vendor does not publish a fixed Premium price, so employers considering those capabilities will need to request a tailored setup. This pricing split makes the free tier a clear starting point, while the paid plan is for teams with broader branding and engagement needs.
The marketplace is built around private employee pricing and direct supplier contracts. For transactions it sells, Great Work Perks acts as Merchant of Record and handles checkout, payment processing, employee purchase support, cancellations and refunds. It also offers a Lowest Price Guarantee for eligible attractions and entertainment products. Integrations include Okta, Workday, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace and OneLogin; listed compliance areas include SOC 2, ISO 27001 and GDPR. Employers wanting a no-cost discounts program with optional HR and mobile features should consider it. Those seeking a comprehensive rewards platform rather than a discounts-focused benefit may prefer another fit.
