A HeyTaco alternative for Slack

BobaTab is peer recognition for Slack, built around bubble tea instead of tacos. Give a teammate a ๐Ÿง‹ when they do something good, then spend what you've collected on mystery packs of stickers. It's free.

HeyTaco's numbers come from their pricing page, checked 8 August 2026.

What you get

Stickers worth collecting. Bobas aren't a number that only goes up. Spend them on a mystery pack and you get three random stickers from the set. Send one to a teammate and it posts in the channel with their name on it.

A clean slate every season. Balances, stickers and the leaderboard all reset, so the same handful of names doesn't sit on top of it all year.

One channel, nothing else. BobaTab reads #boba and no other channel, and never your DMs โ€” which makes it a much easier app to get approved.

Set it up in five minutes

Add it to Slack, choose the channel it watches, and give someone a boba. No card, no trial clock. Uninstalling takes the app and its data with it.
