It's an interesting question!

We're actually building a first gamification platform for SaaS

Most innovative ones are:
– Duolingo rewards
– Product Hunt streaks
– Asana's unicorn 
– also many platforms have challanges

But we're mostly inspired by most addictive and attractive games for people (B2C) so we can collect some patters there. Why are you wondering?

@gaspard_dupuich Totally agree, they do a really good job. Duolingo was the first company that came to my mind.

Answer

One notable example of innovative gamification in tech products is Duolingo. The language-learning app incorporates gamified elements to make the process of learning a new language engaging and fun. It uses a point system, daily streaks, and rewards to motivate users, turning language acquisition into a game-like experience. The app's success demonstrates how gamification can enhance user engagement and retention in educational and productivity-focused platforms.
