Every win
deserves a spin.

Swivel is a spin-to-win recognition app built natively for Slack. You set up a customizable spinning wheel with prizes, odds, and quantities. When your team hits a milestone — a closed deal, a shipped feature, a work anniversary — you trigger a spin directly in Slack. The wheel spins live in your channel, a winner is selected, and a celebration message is automatically posted. It's recognition made fun, fast, and visible.

Yes. Swivel has a free forever plan that includes 5 spins per month and 2 active spinners. It's genuinely free — no credit card required, no trial period. Premium plans are $2/user/month (billed annually) or $3/user/month (monthly) and unlock unlimited spins, unlimited spinners, Zapier, automated gift cards, HeyTaco, Bonusly, and more. Pricing is per active user — only teammates who spun or triggered a spin in the last 30 days count.

Swivel is built for Slack, but it connects to thousands of other tools via Zapier. You can automatically trigger spins when a deal is marked closed-won in Salesforce, when a ticket is resolved in Zendesk, when a work anniversary fires from your HRIS, or almost any other event you can imagine. The Zapier integration is available on Premium plans.

Setup takes about 2 minutes. Add Swivel to your Slack workspace, open the Swivel dashboard, create a new spinner, add your prizes with names and quantities, set win probabilities for each prize, and publish. You can then trigger spins from any Slack channel using a simple slash command or button.

Absolutely. Every prize on your wheel is fully customizable. You set the name, the quantity available, and the probability of landing on it. Want a $500 trip to be rare but possible? Set it at 1%. Want coffee gift cards to come up often? Set them at 40%. You have full control over your reward economics.

Swivel connects to Zapier as both a trigger and an action. You can use Zapier to automatically fire a spin when something happens in another app — a deal closes in your CRM, a support ticket resolves, a form is submitted. This makes recognition automatic and ensures wins never go uncelebrated. The Zapier integration is available on Team and Enterprise plans.

Swivel was designed with remote teams in mind. Because it lives inside Slack — where distributed teams already communicate — recognition happens in a shared space everyone sees, regardless of timezone or location. The public spin announcement in your Slack channel creates a shared moment that remote teams often miss with traditional recognition tools.

Swivel supports five prize types: Custom prizes (any prize you name and fulfill manually), Swivel Points (built-in points winners accumulate), Automated gift cards via Tango (link sent to winner's email instantly, Premium), HeyTaco tacos (awarded automatically via the HeyTaco API, Premium), and Bonusly points (awarded automatically via the Bonusly API, Premium). Popular custom prizes include gift cards, extra PTO, lunch with the CEO, team swag, and cash bonuses.

Bonusly and HeyTaco are point-based systems where employees accumulate points over time and redeem them. Swivel is different: it's event-driven and gamified. Recognition happens in a single exciting moment — the spin — rather than a slow accumulation of points. This creates a shared, public celebration that generates much more energy and visibility. Swivel is best used alongside or instead of point systems when you want recognition to feel like an event, not a transaction.

Yes. Every Swivel spin is a nomination — you always spin for a specific person with a message explaining why they deserve it. Admins, managers, and authorized teammates can trigger spins via /swivel, by right-clicking any Slack message, from the Swivel home tab, or automatically via Zapier. Peer recognition hits differently than top-down awards — it shows your whole team is paying attention to each other's contributions.
