About Grato
A better workplace starts with a simple thank you.
Grato is an employee recognition and appreciation app built for small businesses. It gives teammates an easy way to notice great work, celebrate meaningful moments, and make gratitude part of every workday.
Why we created it
Built for the teams we know best.
As entrepreneurs, we originally created Grato to use inside our own companies.
We wanted a simple way for people to recognize the everyday contributions that are easy to miss—to say thank you, celebrate milestones, and give great work the visibility it deserves.
We saw how consistent appreciation could bring people together, strengthen collaboration, and make work feel more human. We believed small businesses everywhere should be able to create that kind of culture without buying another expensive or complicated HR system.
So we opened Grato to other teams: easy to start, simple enough to use every day, and free for the whole company.
What Grato does
Turn appreciation into a team habit.
Grato brings recognition, milestones, and awards together in one friendly mobile experience.
Say thanks
Recognize the everyday contributions—big or small—that help your team move forward.
Celebrate milestones
Remember birthdays and work anniversaries so important moments never pass unnoticed.
Reinforce what matters
Create team and company awards that highlight the values and behaviors you want to grow.
Free by design
Culture-building tools should be within reach.
We want small teams to benefit from meaningful recognition without adding another large software bill. Grato’s core experience is free and supported by a limited number of ads.
Companies that prefer an ad-free experience can choose a Monthly or Yearly subscription that removes advertising for the entire organization.
