Software Advice offers objective insights based on verified user reviews and independent product and market research. When our advisors match you to a software provider, we may earn a referral fee.

How Software Advice ensures transparency

Software Advice lists all providers across its website—not just those that pay us—so that users can make informed purchase decisions. Users can talk to our advisors for free to receive software recommendations matching their needs. Software providers pay us for sponsored profiles to reach users interested in their products.

How Software Advice verifies reviews

Software Advice carefully verified over 2 million reviews to bring you authentic software experiences from real users. Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.

Independent research methodology

Researchers at Software Advice use a mix of verified reviews, independent research, and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or talk to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.

Pros:

I couldn't recommend AwardsForce more highly for their platform. NDS uses it for 3 Awards programs and it is extremely user friendly, as well as being highly accessible for people who require alt text, screen readers, etc.

Cons:

Pricing is a bit high for the Pro tier however we've been able to manage with the Growth plan.

Reasons for choosing Award Force

I can't remember which other products we considered, however AwardsForce came up as the best product for ease of use and accessibility.

Love Award Force, Especially Customer Service

Pros:

Customer Service is outstanding. Whenever we have an issue, the staff replies quickly and helps solve our problem. The fact that staff are located around the world allows you to get help outside of the 8:00 to 5:00 workday.

Cons:

Award Force appeared complex when we first began using the platform several years ago. Over time, it has become much easier, and we spend less time seeking help.

Reasons for switching to Award Force

I don't know, except that it was the previous platform.

Hi Betty, sorry for your troubles. From the support email we last exchanged, it seems the problem happened because of a setting issue. Your colleague Carl later switched it on and everything worked as expected. If there's anything else you would like to report, please let us know asap!

A great award management tool that deliver what I expect, and more.

I have been working with Award Force for almost four years now, and I am so grateful for the platform as it always delivers. Running competitions with an online jury has become so simple and secure because everything works so well. It is a smooth solution where all participants, jury members, and not least the competition management are always satisfied.

Pros:

The How To videos are excellent. They are clear, and not too long or complicated.

Cons:

Maybe that the content blocks, when altered, they change across all seasons. I haven't actually used this function yet, but I am thinking it would be good if the changes were only to current season, so that we can go back and check historical data for comparison.
