I'm not the person you are replying to, but just wanted to add another data point, even if it's probably not what you want to hear - I think $50-$125 is more realistic.

FWIW, I also just polled my manager about this (without revealing my thoughts above), and he said $100 absolute max. For reference, this is at a megacorp (technically they could of course afford more, but budgets for anything related to employee happiness are squeezed tight).

Thanks GordonS. Really appreciate the data point. Interesting, the few managers we talked to as part of our user research indicated a much higher acceptable price point for employee engagement initiatives and the cost savings during the pandemic. Looks like we need to do more pricing research here.

For further data - are you a high profile-ish engineer?

Or a data analyst etc?
