Looking for the perfect benefits solution for your company? You're probably asking yourself: HelloBonnie or ValueNet? Both providers promise flexible employee benefits, but which one actually delivers what truly excites your employees and takes the load off your HR team?
In this comparison, we'll take a close look at both solutions and show you why HelloBonnie is the more modern and flexible alternative.
What Does ValueNet Offer?
ValueNet has been in the market since 1999 and has established itself as a recognized provider of compensation & benefits. The Munich-based company with approximately 200 employees offers a digitized benefits portal with up to 25 flexible employee benefits.
ValueNet's Strengths:
- Years of experience in the benefits space
- Fully digitized workflows
- Legal compliance through expert consulting
- Integration with existing payroll systems
- Partnership with Pluxee (formerly Sodexo)
However: ValueNet relies on a traditional portal system with a limited number of predefined benefits. This restricts flexibility.
HelloBonnie: The Modern Alternative
HelloBonnie completely reimagines benefits. Instead of rigid portals and predefined packages, you get an intelligent smart card solution that offers genuine flexibility.
1. Real Flexibility Instead of Limitations
ValueNet: Up to 25 predefined benefits to choose from HelloBonnie: Unlimited possibilities through Brand Spaces and Regional Spaces
With HelloBonnie, your employees decide for themselves where and how to use their budget. Whether at over 100 well-known brands like Netflix, Zalando, or REWE, or completely flexibly in their region—anywhere Mastercard is accepted.
2. One Card for Everything
ValueNet: Different providers and systems for different benefits HelloBonnie: One smart card for all benefits—physical and digital
The HelloBonnie smart card works like a regular bank card. Your employees can use it online, in apps, and at any card reader. Even Apple Pay and Google Pay work seamlessly.
3. Regional Flexibility Without Boundaries
ValueNet: Focus on partner networks HelloBonnie: Use anywhere in your preferred region
With HelloBonnie, your employees can use their budget not only at major brands but also support their local hairdresser, favorite café, or the physiotherapy practice around the corner. The region is freely selectable and not tied to the company location.
4. Transparent and Fair Pricing
ValueNet: Complex pricing structures depending on the package HelloBonnie: Clear pricing with no hidden costs
- €1.90 per employee/month (up to 200 employees)
- 2.5% of the loaded amount (no minimum)
- €12.90 per company/month
- For larger companies: Individual offers
5. Maximum Tax Optimization
Both providers offer tax-compliant solutions. However, HelloBonnie was specifically developed with the renowned tax firm Möhrle Happ Luther and verified through official tax authority consultation.
HelloBonnie enables:
- €50 benefit in kind (€600 annually)
- Gift benefits (€180 annually)
- Performance bonus (€10,000 annually)
- Recreational allowance (€360 annually)
The Decisive Difference: User Experience
ValueNet offers a traditional B2B portal that's functional but doesn't necessarily inspire. HelloBonnie, on the other hand, focuses on a modern app experience that your employees will love.
HelloBonnie Wallet:
- Intuitive app for budget management
- Instant credit distribution
- Flexible allocation between different spaces
- Ability to save up over multiple months
