applaudable
Worthy of ovation
Applaudable describes something deserving of applause or approval—an action, effort, or quality worthy of praise: Her dedication to the project was applaudable.
The word is less common than its synonym praiseworthy, and some prefer laudable, but applaudable remains serviceable when you want to evoke the image of actual applause.
