Flip vs Speakap

Flip

Targeting runs from HR metadata with combined rules such as night-shift warehouse managers by location, role and group; activation needs no email address because it works via QR code, SMS or invite code with passkey login; and delivery reaches the phone, the web and on-site screens, with push notifications, offline sync and real-time read rates and engagement. We found no public information on mandatory reading with read confirmation and reminders, urgent alerts that override quiet settings, or scheduled posts.

Speakap

The mass-notification pages document HRIS-synced targeting by location, department and role, app push and SMS sent simultaneously without registration, two-way acknowledgment whose dashboard shows managers who has not responded, and an exportable record of who was reached and when; read confirmations, scheduled posts and shared kiosks or desktop logins for staff without a phone are also described. We found no public information on targeting by language, reminders for mandatory reading or offline delivery.

Flip

A knowledge base with role-, location- and team-based permissions, an editor with subpages and collections, synchronised with SharePoint, readable offline, with Ask AI answers that name their source and automatic DeepL translation into more than fifty languages. We found no public information on versioning with review dates, a people directory or an org chart.

Speakap

A knowledge base with folder-like categories, permissions by country, region, location and department, search across titles, descriptions and article content, built-in translation into several languages and access on desktop and mobile is documented, with documents reachable through SharePoint and Google Drive integrations. We found no public information on a people directory or org chart, versioning and review dates, or offline reading of pages.

Flip

Polls and forms reach specific sites, roles or the whole workforce through channels with real-time results, response visibility is configurable and anonymous by default for sentiment questions, any user can report offensive content, and onboarding combines the news feed, chats, tasks with progress tracking and configurable anonymous form submissions. We found no public information on a stated minimum group size behind anonymity, recognition features, or measured onboarding completion.

Speakap

Automated onboarding journeys tailored to role, region and department with 30/60/90/180-day windows, quizzes and progress tracked in an admin panel are well described, reactions and comments are covered by the analytics, and recognition is named as a platform module. Surveys appear only as an integration with a preferred forms app, and we found no public information on anonymity rules, minimum group sizes or moderation.

Flip

Privacy by design is unusually well documented: only first name, last name, user ID and role are required and everything else is optional; private phones are managed at app level with no access to private data and no MDM consent; do-not-disturb covers evenings, weekends and holidays; biometrics stay on the device; identity audit logs are tamper-proof; data is deleted within six months of contract end and builder chats within twelve months; there is no AI training on customer data and no backdoor for authorities; and the product was developed in cooperation with works councils. We found no public information on a published works-agreement template, the granularity of read and usage analytics shown to employers, read confirmations limited to messages that require them, or accessibility to WCAG or BITV.

Speakap

The BYOD page is unusually concrete: a separate encrypted work container, no access to GPS, photos, contacts or personal activity, remote wipe of the work container only, and notification settings tied to working hours, while rollout support explicitly names involving the works council and union and preparing the GDPR setup. Retention periods are stated (analytics pseudonymised for at most three years, service data at most one year after contract end), but individual-level visibility such as measured login times and dashboards showing who has not responded comes without documented aggregation or minimum group sizes, and we found no published works-agreement template or accessibility statement against WCAG or BITV.

Flip

Inbound SSO and SCIM are included on both plans with SAML and OIDC alongside existing identity providers, pre-built connectors cover SharePoint, Teams, Jira, Workday, UKG and SAP SuccessFactors plus shift planning, time tracking and e-learning, provisioning for staff without email is instant with centralised deactivation, and a REST API with a developer portal, a white-label app on the Enterprise plan and an audit log with plan-dependent retention are documented. We found no public information on webhooks.

Speakap

A documented API with developer documentation, single sign-on, automated HR-system sync for new hires, role changes and offboarding, named SharePoint and Google Drive integrations plus scheduling, e-learning and forms connectors through an app directory, and permissions delegated by country, region, location and department are all evidenced. We found no public information on SCIM provisioning, webhooks, a white-label app option or an administration audit log.

Flip

The contracting entity is Flip GmbH in Stuttgart, hosting is documented on Azure in Frankfurt and Berlin, and the subprocessor chain is published with names, addresses and processing regions: Microsoft Ireland for hosting and the AI assistant's inference, Google Ireland for push, DeepL in Cologne for translation, Mailjet and hibase in Berlin, and Helsinki Systems for Jitsi. A multi-jurisdictional data processing agreement is published with 45 days' notice on subprocessor changes, export and deletion rights, and ISO 27001 and SOC 2 are stated; Mixpanel and Zendesk are US-incorporated, however, and hosting and push run through the EU entities of US parents, so Cloud Act exposure remains in the chain.

Speakap

One captured page states that data is stored in the US and will never be transferred to other locations, while no captured page names the hosting infrastructure for employee messages, files and usage data; the privacy policy discloses transfers outside the EEA under EU standard contractual clauses, and a New York address appears in a page footer alongside Speakap B.V. and Speakap Germany GmbH as contracting entities. Only website cookie providers are listed as third parties (Act-On, HubSpot, Google and LinkedIn in the USA, Hotjar in Malta); we found no public information on subprocessors for hosting, push, SMS delivery, translation or the ChatGPT-based AI feature, nor a published data processing agreement, though ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II are stated.

Flip

The Growth tier is published from 4.950 € per year for up to 300 employees with its core inclusions listed, and the price components are named — licenses, locations, modules such as AI agents, HR mini apps and flows, optional add-ons and the contract term — but the Enterprise price and the add-ons are only available on request. We found no public information on per-user scaling, setup fees, minimum seats or term lengths.

Speakap

The pricing page names the cost drivers — number of users, feature scope, access to integrations — but publishes no figures, and the price overview is promised only from a product specialist after a demo. We found no public per-user price, tiers, term or setup fees.
