Best Hoopla Alternatives (2026)

Hoopla — now part of Raydiant — comes at sales motivation from the digital-signage side: TV displays that broadcast performance and celebrations around the office. That focus is exactly why teams look for alternatives. A screen that shows numbers is not the same as a gamification system that changes behavior — contests with rules and prizes, streaks that reward consistency, badges reps actually chase. Teams also find that signage-oriented products leave pricing and feature depth to a sales conversation (as of mid-2026 — confirm details with Raydiant). If you want full gamification, or just a free way to get a leaderboard on a TV, here are the six best Hoopla alternatives for 2026.

Why teams look for Hoopla alternatives

Hoopla's TV-first orientation is a genuine strength for what it targets: visible, ambient motivation on office screens. The reasons teams evaluate alternatives are mostly about scope and clarity:

• Displays vs. mechanics. A motivation display shows performance; a gamification system structures it — contests, scoring rules, prize economics, streaks, badges. Teams that start with "we want a TV leaderboard" often discover the display was step one, and they want the game engine behind it.
• Signage-platform context. Since becoming part of Raydiant, Hoopla sits inside a broader digital-signage business. If you only need sales motivation — not general signage — verify you're not buying more platform than the use case requires.
• Pricing opacity. Public pricing detail is limited as of mid-2026; expect to confirm costs, minimums, and packaging directly with Raydiant before you can budget.
• Hardware-and-office assumptions. TV-signage products assume screens in a shared space. Hybrid and remote teams need motivation that works in a browser tab as well as on a wall.

If always-on office displays are truly the whole requirement, Hoopla remains a reasonable fit to evaluate. If you want the full gamification stack — or a free start — read on.

The 6 best Hoopla alternatives

1. Sales Gamification (that's us) — best free option with TV mode

Disclosure: this is our product — here's how we rank software.

Sales Gamification is a free, browser-based gamification toolkit that covers both the display and the mechanics. The live sales leaderboard has points, streaks, badges, and a full-screen TV mode — open it on any screen and you have your office display. Behind it sit a contest builder that generates rules, scoring, and prize structures; four calculators (commission, SPIFF ROI, contest budget, quota attainment); and eight contest templates. No signup, no credit card — free — with data kept in your browser (localStorage, JSON export/import).

Best for: small teams (roughly 2–15 reps) that want a TV leaderboard plus real contest mechanics without buying a signage platform, and remote/hybrid teams, since the same leaderboard works in any browser tab.

Pricing reality: free — see pricing.

Honest limitation: no CRM sync — activity is logged with one tap and data stays in your browser, by design. If you need deals flowing onto the screen automatically, choose a synced platform below.

2. Spinify — best full platform with TV apps

Spinify pairs a mature gamification feature set and CRM integrations with dedicated TV apps — the closest like-for-like upgrade from signage to full gamification. As of mid-2026 it runs roughly $25/user/month billed annually with a 15-user minimum (about $4,500/year entry) and an enterprise tier at 200+ users — confirm current pricing on their site. Best for: 15–200 seat teams that want automated, CRM-fed leaderboards on office TVs. Honest limitation: the seat minimum prices out small teams. Full comparison in Spinify alternatives.

3. SalesScreen — best for celebration-rich screens

SalesScreen is a quote-based mid-market platform with deep CRM integrations, known for strong visualizations and celebrations — closed-deal moments designed to light up the room. If Hoopla's appeal was energy on screens, SalesScreen is that idea with a full gamification engine underneath. Best for: mid-market teams that want maximum visual impact plus contest depth. Honest limitation: quote-based pricing (as of mid-2026 — confirm on their site) means no numbers without a demo, and packaging aimed above small teams. More in SalesScreen alternatives.

4. Ambition — best for pairing motivation with coaching

Ambition is a quote-based mid-market/enterprise suite combining gamification with coaching tools and scorecards. It's the pick when leadership wants screens and contests to sit inside a broader performance-management system rather than stand alone. Best for: larger orgs formalizing coaching alongside competitions. Honest limitation: far more platform than a display-focused buyer needs, with quote-based pricing (as of mid-2026 — confirm on their site). See Ambition alternatives.

5. Plecto — best for KPI dashboards on screens

Plecto is a dashboard-first platform with gamification features, per-seat pricing, and a mid-market focus (as of mid-2026 — confirm current pricing on their site). If what you want on the office TVs is live KPIs — with leaderboards and contests as an extension — Plecto approaches the screen from the data side. Best for: data-driven teams that want dashboards, not just motivation graphics, on the wall. Honest limitation: gamification is a feature of a dashboard product; verify contest depth against gamification-first tools. More in Plecto alternatives.

6. Leaderboarded — best inexpensive simple leaderboard

Leaderboarded is an indie tool offering simple leaderboards with manual data entry — no native CRM sync, inexpensive, suited to 2–50 seats. Displayed on a TV, it covers the basic Hoopla use case at low cost. Best for: small teams that want a cheap hosted leaderboard to throw on a screen. Honest limitation: minimal scope — no contest engine or celebrations, and freshness depends on someone entering the data.

How to choose

Clarify the requirement: a screen, or a system? If you literally need numbers on a wall, the bar is low — a free leaderboard in full-screen TV mode meets it. If you want behavior change, you need contest mechanics, scoring, and prizes behind the screen, which points to gamification-first tools.

2–15 reps. Start free. Our browser-based toolkit puts a leaderboard with streaks and badges on your TV today and generates contests to run behind it — no signup, no hardware beyond a screen with a browser. Leaderboarded is the inexpensive paid fallback.

15–50 reps with a CRM. Manual entry stops scaling; pay for sync. Spinify is the most direct fit — TV apps plus CRM-fed gamification at a published per-seat price (mind the 15-seat minimum; confirm current pricing). Compare against Plecto if dashboards matter as much as motivation.

50+ reps or multi-office. Evaluate SalesScreen and Ambition alongside Hoopla/Raydiant, and make vendors show their display experience on your actual screens with your actual metrics. At this size, also confirm rollout logistics: how many displays, who manages them, and what remote reps see.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happened to Hoopla?

Hoopla became part of Raydiant, a digital-signage company, and its sales motivation displays now sit within Raydiant's platform. For current packaging, pricing, and feature details as of mid-2026, confirm directly with Raydiant — public detail is limited.

Is there a free alternative to Hoopla for TV leaderboards?

Yes. Sales Gamification (our product) is free and includes a full-screen TV mode — open the leaderboard in a browser on any screen. You also get a contest builder and templates behind the display. The tradeoff: one-tap manual entry — browser-local by design, with no CRM connection.

Do I need special hardware for a sales leaderboard TV display?

Usually not. Any TV or monitor that can show a browser — via a cheap streaming stick, mini PC, or smart-TV browser — can display a web-based leaderboard in full-screen mode. Dedicated signage platforms add centralized screen management, which matters mainly for multi-office rollouts.

What's the difference between a motivation display and sales gamification?

A display shows performance; gamification structures it with points, contests, streaks, badges, and prizes that drive behavior. Signage-first products excel at the former. If you want the latter, choose a tool built around competitions and put its output on the TV.

Which Hoopla alternative works for remote teams?

Browser-based tools travel best: our leaderboard works in any tab, so remote reps see the same board as the office TV. Platform options like Spinify and SalesScreen also serve web experiences alongside office screens — verify the remote experience in a demo.
