Trophy's achievements engine supports milestone, streak, and one-off achievements using flexible no-code logic in the dashboard. You can target specific user cohorts and update achievement logic live without shipping a new app release. ### How does Trophy decide when an achievement is unlocked? Trophy evaluates achievement triggers automatically when you send metric events — including metric thresholds, streak milestones, and direct API calls for custom steps. Triggers run in real time without polling or scheduled jobs on your side. ### How do badges relate to achievements in Trophy? In Trophy, an achievement is the milestone a user reaches and each achievement has a badge image that represents it. You configure trigger conditions and badge artwork in the Trophy dashboard, and Trophy hosts badge assets and returns badge URLs for your app UI. ### How do I balance achievement difficulty over time? Trophy achievement analytics show completion rates so you can monitor which achievements are too easily unlocked versus too difficult. You can identify power users completing achievements at a high rate and use that data to inform product decisions. ### Can achievements help with onboarding retention? Yes. Trophy is well suited to onboarding milestones such as completing a profile or a first core action, triggered when users complete each step. Designing an early achievement before users leave the product is one of the highest-leverage retention decisions you can make. ## Gamification software for modern product teams The only gamification platform built for the modern era.
