Where Donut differs

Microsoft Teams support

Donut for Microsoft Teams automates teammate introductions and uses Outlook for scheduling. Doozy is Slack-only, so Donut is the better fit if your company runs on Teams.

Live facilitation with Gatheround

Gatheround runs interactive video sessions for onboarding, training, and coaching. Doozy does not offer built-in video sessions.

Enterprise Grid multi-workspace

Donut Premium supports Intros and Watercooler across Slack Enterprise Grid workspaces. If you need that setup, confirm current support with Doozy before switching.

Pricing comparison

Donut bills by actual usage. Donut counts people who participate in channels or automations as active users, and counts each person once even if they join several programs. Donut's published annual prices, checked August 25, 2026:

• Free: $0, with one channel for each Channels feature and up to three automated messages in one Journey.
• Standard: starts at $74/month billed annually. It includes multiple Slack channels and up to six automated messages in one Journey. Donut's pricing page lists integrations with 50+ HRIS platforms.
• Premium: starts at $119/month billed annually. It adds unlimited Journey messages and automations, plus Enterprise Grid support for Intros and Watercooler.
• Enterprise: Donut asks larger teams to contact sales and does not publish an amount.

Doozy is flat rate. One monthly price covers everyone, up to the plan's employee cap:

• Core: $199/month (up to 350 employees), with unlimited quizzes, surveys, celebrations, shoutouts, intros, and trivia, plus up to 3 active tracks.
• Scale: $499/month (up to 1,000 employees), adding unlimited tracks, SSO/SAML, API, webhooks, and advanced analytics.
• Enterprise: custom pricing with custom automations and SLAs.

Donut says its Standard and Premium prices depend on actual usage, so use its current estimator for your participant count. Doozy Core stays at $199/month until your company exceeds 350 employees.
