Playlyfe is a Bangalore, India gamification company founded in 2014 that built Catalyst in 2017, a gamified sales productivity tool designed to drive CRM adoption and motivate sales and call center teams through points, badges, achievements and leaderboards, including TV-channel style leaderboard displays. Catalyst integrated with existing CRM tools to convert performance data into gamified dashboards, and Playlyfe listed Fortune 500 client Accenture among its users.

During this research, the dedicated product subdomain catalyst.playlyfe.com failed to resolve, suggesting the Catalyst product may no longer be actively hosted or maintained, even though the main playlyfe.com site still describes it in the present tense. No current pricing could be verified, and the product's live availability should be treated with caution.
