It's time to switch from GoJoe
GoJoe charges $19.73/user per challenge — for one fitness challenge at a time. Woliba delivers 120+ activity challenges at just $2.00/user/month. One price. No per-challenge fees.
Real User Review
"The app doesn't even load in the last 2 weeks. Every time I try to open it I see a blank red screen for a very long time. I have the latest version of the app and my phone is up to date — it still doesn't work."

Here are five reasons Why HRs outgrow GoJoe
Fitness challenges alone don’t build an engaged, healthy workforce. Woliba helps HR teams go further — with real engagement in one platform that’s also affordable.
9 hours of workout accepted — no one checks
GoJoe's challenge engine has no meaningful anti-cheat validation. Users can log 9 hours of daily workouts, 13 hours of football, or any physically impossible activity — and the platform accepts it. This destroys competition integrity, demotivates honest participants, and turns wellness challenges into a leaderboard of cheaters.
"It heavily focuses on steps but doesn't consider effort — same points for a 10K run or walk. Even worse for Zwift: 100 calories with a power meter equals just 10 calories on GoJoe. I will be removing it after the company challenge is complete."
Freezes, crashes, won't load — consistently unreliable
GoJoe's app is widely described as buggy, slow, and unreliable. Users report the app freezing on the home screen, not opening without reinstalling, logging them out randomly, and activities not saving. For a wellness challenge app employees use during work initiatives, this level of unreliability kills participation.
"Worst user experience. Every day something either doesn't work or it is so slow I can't tell if I pressed a button. When recording an activity, pressing pause and restart sometimes causes the log to get lost — registered with zero points. A really great idea, just poorly executed."
GoJoe does challenges. Culture needs more than that.
GoJoe is a team fitness challenge app — and for what it does, it can be fun. But it has zero employee recognition tools, no engagement surveys, no leadership coaching, no burnout analytics, no social feed, and no mental wellness content. When employees are disengaged or burning out, a step challenge won't fix it.
"It's a great way to connect with work colleagues. But once the challenge is done, there's nothing keeping you engaged. No recognition, no wellbeing content, nothing beyond the challenge itself."
GoJoe costs 65% more per user — for fewer features
GoJoe's Challenge Annual plan costs $3.29/user/month ($1,973/year for 50 employees) — for fitness challenges only. Woliba costs $2.00/user/month ($1,200/year for 50 users) with wellness challenges, recognition, surveys, social feed, coaching, and burnout analytics all included. You pay less and get significantly more.
"Only using this app because my company requires it. I would never choose it myself. The effort vs. reward ratio just doesn't make sense when better platforms exist."
Samsung Health won't sync — and activities don't save
GoJoe users consistently report sync failures with Samsung Health, Health Connect, and various wearables. Multiple users state the app doesn't track activities automatically and requires manual input — which often doesn't save either. For a fitness challenge app where tracking accuracy is the core function, these are fundamental failures.
"The most stupid app I've ever seen. It doesn't save the activity. You need to add them manually. Stupid developers."

What is GoJoe?
What are GoJoe's pricing and plans?
GoJoe offers three main plans for 50 employees: Challenge One-off at $987/challenge ($19.73/user), Challenge Annual at $1,973/year ($3.29/user/month), and Reward Annual at $2,098/year ($3.50/user/month). That makes GoJoe 65% more expensive per user than Woliba’s Starter plan ($2.00/user/month). Woliba also only charges for active users, whereas GoJoe uses fixed license pricing.
GoJoe reviews — what are users saying?
GoJoe receives mixed reviews. Positive reviews praise the team challenge concept and motivation aspect. However, negative reviews consistently flag: the app freezing, crashing, or failing to open; Samsung Health and Health Connect sync failures; activities not saving; cheating going undetected (users logging 9-hour workouts and 13-hour football sessions); GPS not working on Android devices; and poor navigation. Most users note they only use it because their employer requires it, and plan to delete it once the challenge is done.
How much does GoJoe cost per user?
GoJoe’s Challenge Annual plan costs $3.29 per user per month ($1,973/year ÷ 50 employees ÷ 12 months) — for fitness challenges only. Woliba costs $2.00 per user per month and includes challenges, 12-pillar wellness, AI burnout alerts, and a dedicated CSM. Woliba is 39% cheaper per user with a significantly more complete platform.
Is GoJoe expensive?
Yes — GoJoe’s Challenge Annual plan costs $3.29/user/month, which is 65% more expensive than Woliba’s $2.00/user/month. For 50 employees, that’s $1,973/year on GoJoe vs $1,200/year on Woliba — a saving of $773/year. And GoJoe covers fitness challenges only, while Woliba includes challenges, burnout analytics, and a dedicated CSM at the lower price.
