Hoopla alternatives in 2026
Teams leave Hoopla for three main reasons: no ai capability at all, speed is the claim, not scoring design, and no published pricing. The strongest alternatives are Sales Gamification for teams that want the programme designed rather than configured, and — depending on what you need — Spinify or SalesScreen. Every figure below was read from vendor sources on 24 July 2026.
The reasons
Why teams look past Hoopla
No AI capability at all
As of July 2026, Hoopla's homepage carries no mention of AI, artificial intelligence or machine learning. In a category where every other vendor now markets something, that is a widening gap.
Speed is the claim, not scoring design
Hoopla's homepage leads with "Go live in 24 hours. See ROI in 30 days." That is a claim about how fast a board can be configured, and it assumes you already know what to measure and how to weight it. Nothing published addresses how the scoring model itself gets designed.
No published pricing
There is no pricing page on the vendor site. The only figure on record is $25 per user per month, supplied by the vendor to a review directory rather than published directly.

Which to choose
Straight answers, both directions
There are situations where Hoopla is the better choice. Here they are.
Choose Hoopla if
- You want proprietary display hardware and a streaming setup for a physical floor.
- Recognition broadcasts matter more to you than analysis or scoring design.
- You run Salesforce and want a leaderboard widget rendering inside Salesforce itself.
Choose Sales Gamification if
- You want AI to design the scoring model rather than no AI at all.
- You want to know the price before booking a demo.
- You need fairness calibration and anti-gaming guardrails, neither of which Hoopla publishes.
Moving across
Hoopla programmes are usually recognition-led rather than scoring-led, so the gap when moving is normally the scoring model itself. Blueprint builds one from your pipeline in about four minutes, and celebrations replace the broadcast mechanics.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best Hoopla alternative?+
It depends on what pushed you to look. If it was the per-seat cost or the setup burden, Sales Gamification's flat team pricing and AI onboarding address both directly. If you specifically need Hoopla's deepest capability — you want proprietary display hardware and a streaming setup for a physical floor. — then staying is the right call.
How much does Hoopla cost?+
There is no pricing page on the vendor site — the full page sitemap contains none. The only price on record is vendor-supplied to a review directory. Published tiers run $25 per user per month. Verified 24 July 2026.
Does Hoopla have a seat minimum?+
Hoopla does not disclose a seat minimum publicly. Sales Gamification has no seat minimum on any plan, because the price is per team rather than per seat.
How are these comparisons compiled?+
Every figure is read from the vendor's own published material on the date recorded, never from a third-party summary, and each entry links its source. Our own product is included and labelled throughout. The full method is published at https://salesgamification.io/methodology.
