The panel's verdict
LumApps, an employee communication and intranet platform from LumApps SAS of Tassin-la-Demi-Lune, France, now sells the Beekeeper frontline app. The bench scores it highest on integration and administration at 6-7, where over a hundred connectors including Workday, SAP and ServiceNow, single sign-on via Microsoft, Google, SAML and OpenID, a documented SDK and API, and a stated 99.97 percent SLA uptime are all listed. Reach and targeting, content and knowledge, and engagement and feedback land at 6-7, carried by the QR-code login that reaches workers without a company email address, permission-respecting search into Microsoft 365, and pre-boarding journeys in over 200 languages. Works council and privacy and sovereignty, both at 3-4, are the weak spots: the pages advertise visibility into who's seen what and real-time tracking of newcomers, the privacy policy states it applies only where LumApps acts as data controller, and hosting is named as Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure with no region, US transfers acknowledged. Scores sit within one point on every criterion — no meaningful split. No prices are published; the only documented step is a demo request.
Speaks for it
- A QR-code login lets managers issue time-limited codes that download the app and confirm identity without email or password.
- Over a hundred connectors include Workday, SAP SuccessFactors and ServiceNow, with single sign-on via Microsoft, Google, SAML 2.0 and OpenID and a documented SDK and API.
- Search reaches into Microsoft 365, SharePoint and Microsoft 365 Copilot while restricting results to content each employee may see.
- Onboarding journeys cover pre-boarding, digital forms and real-time progress tracking in over 200 languages on the smartphone.
- ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certifications and a stated 99.97 percent SLA uptime on Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure are published.
Held against it
- The privacy policy states it applies only where LumApps acts as data controller, not as processor for the product.
- Read visibility is documented as individual-level insight into who's seen what, with no public information on aggregation or configuration.
- We found no public information on a works-agreement template, quiet hours, or separation of work and private data on personal phones.
- Hosting is named as Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure with no region stated, and transfers to the United States are acknowledged.
- We found no public information on anonymity rules or minimum group sizes for surveys and engagement reporting.
Best for
- You need to reach frontline and seasonal staff without company email addresses before their first shift.
- Your landscape runs on Microsoft 365 with Workday, SAP or ServiceNow, and you want permission-respecting search and connectors rather than another silo.
- You manage identity through Okta or Entra ID and need admin access configured by role, location or department.
- You want the same onboarding and recognition for frontline and corporate staff in one platform.
Avoid if
- Your works council requires aggregated analytics and quiet hours before rollout, while the documented offer is individual visibility into who's seen what.
- You must state hosting regions and a subprocessor list for employee data in your tender, and the pages name Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure as hosts without regions.
- You need public list prices to budget before a shortlist, and the only documented commercial step is a demo request.

Reach & targeted announcements
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
How a message reaches every employee: a news feed and announcements on phone, browser and shared devices, targeting by site, department, role and language, access for staff without a company email address (invite codes, phone number, personnel number, QR codes, kiosk or shared devices), push notifications, mandatory reading with read confirmation, urgent alerts, scheduled posts, and reach analytics per message and audience.
0 — Not a communication tool; the company cannot publish news or announcements to employees in the product.
3 — A news feed or announcement channel for employees with company accounts; targeting, access without a company email address and reach figures are basic or not described.
5 — News and announcements targeted by group, site or role, delivered to a mobile app with push notifications and to the browser, employees without a company email address able to log in, and views or reach shown per post.
8 — Targeting by site, department, role and language from HR data, login documented for staff without email or company devices (personnel number, SMS code, shared devices), mandatory reading with read confirmation and reminders, urgent alerts that override quiet settings, scheduled and multi-channel posts (app, email, intranet, screens), and reach analytics per audience.
10 — Reach that can be proved: delivery and reading tracked per channel against the whole workforce, offline access and low-bandwidth delivery documented, crisis messages with acknowledgement and escalation, aggregated reports exportable, and the reach analytics described with the data they use.
The Internal Communications Lead
Targeted messages by role, shift and location without a company email address are documented, and the QR-code login for deskless colleagues — a time-limited code that downloads the app, confirms identity and syncs a profile — is the best-evidenced access route I have seen for staff without accounts. Read visibility into who has seen what supports my mandatory safety reads. We found no public information on push notifications, urgent alerts, scheduled multi-channel delivery or reminders for unread messages, so proof of reach per audience is incomplete. 3 4 9 10
The Frontline Operations Lead
Targeted messages by role, shift or location without a company email address, plus a QR-code login where a manager issues a personalized, time-limited code, the app downloads itself and the identity syncs to the individual profile — that is exactly the day-one login my pickers need. Read visibility ("who's seen what") and real-time translation are documented for frontline reach. We found no public information on push notifications, mandatory reading with reminders, urgent alerts, scheduled posts or reach analytics per audience. 4 9 10 3
The Microsoft 365 Administrator
Targeting by role, shift and location without a company email address is stated plainly, and the QR-code login is documented end to end — a manager generates a time-limited code, the employee scans it, and the app installs and syncs to their profile with no email or password, which is exactly what I need for 2,500 staff without a Microsoft licence. Per-message read visibility and real-time translation are on the frontline pages. We found no public information on push notifications, urgent alerts, scheduled posts or mandatory reading with read confirmation and reminders. 4 9 10
The Works Council Member
Messages targeted by role, shift and location without a company email address are documented, and the time-limited QR-code login for deskless colleagues — no email, no password, syncing straight to the individual profile — is described in unusual detail. What the pages do advertise is read tracking at the level of the individual, "visibility into who's seen what", which is exactly the clause a Betriebsvereinbarung would have to constrain; we found no public information on urgent alerts, scheduled or multi-channel posts, or mandatory reading with reminders. 4 9 10 13 3
The Data Protection Officer
Messages can be targeted by role, shift and location and sent without a company email address, and the QR-code login gives deskless colleagues authenticated mobile access with no email or password; the frontline page adds visibility into who has seen what. We found no public information on mandatory reading with reminders, urgent alerts, scheduled posts or how push notifications are delivered, so the picture stops short of the higher levels. 4 9 10 3
The Skeptic
Targeting by role, shift and location without a company email address, plus a QR-code login that downloads the app and confirms identity without a password, are properly documented — that part I believe. Push notifications, mandatory reading with acknowledgement, urgent alerts, scheduled or multi-channel posts, and reach analytics per audience: we found no public information on any of these, and the read visibility on offer stops at "who's seen what". The quoted 87 percent frontline adoption comes with no statement of how it is counted. 3 4 9 10
Pages, documents & knowledge
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
What employees can look up: intranet pages and a content management system, documents and policies with versions and owners, search across content and connected systems, a people directory and org chart, multilingual content with machine translation of posts and pages, content review and expiry, and access from the app as well as the browser.
0 — No pages or documents; the product carries only messages that scroll away.
3 — Files or simple pages can be shared; search, translation, a people directory and content governance are basic or not described.
5 — Pages and a document area with permissions, search across the content, a people directory, content available in the mobile app, and posts or pages translatable into several languages.
8 — A content management system with templates, page ownership, review dates and versioning, search across connected systems (SharePoint, Google Drive or similar), automatic translation of posts, pages and comments into named languages, an org chart from HR data, and pages readable offline.
10 — Knowledge that stays current: content lifecycle and expiry enforced, search and AI answers that cite their sources and respect permissions, analytics on what is searched and not found, accessibility of the content stated against WCAG, and a full export of pages and documents.
The Internal Communications Lead
Pages, files and a search that reaches into Microsoft 365, SharePoint and Copilot, with results limited to what each employee is permitted to see and AI agents flagging outdated content — solid ground for publishing policies across sites. We found no public information on a people directory or org chart from HR data, page versioning with owners, or pages readable offline, which matters on a shop floor with weak signal. 2 11 14
The Frontline Operations Lead
Intelligent search reaches from the intranet into Microsoft databases and Microsoft 365 Copilot while respecting what each employee is permitted to see, with SharePoint among the integrations and content available in the mobile app. AI writing agents translate content and AI agents flag outdated pages for updating or archiving. We found no public information on page versioning and ownership, an org chart from HR data, offline pages or accessibility against WCAG. 11 14 3 2
The Microsoft 365 Administrator
An intranet hub with spaces for news and files, plus intelligent search that reaches Microsoft databases, SharePoint and Microsoft 365 Copilot while restricting results to content the employee may see, would spare me a second unmaintained SharePoint, and AI agents that flag outdated content attack the graveyard problem directly. Documents arrive through SharePoint and OneDrive widgets and content performance analytics are listed. We found no public information on a people directory or org chart, versioning with owners and review dates, offline pages or a content export. 2 11 14 5
The Works Council Member
An intranet with granular permissions by role, location and content type, intelligent search across LumApps content and Microsoft's systems whose results are restricted to what each employee may see, AI answers based on company information, and translation of content are all documented. We found no public information on page ownership with review dates and versioning, an org chart, or pages readable offline — only an AI agent that flags outdated content for update or archiving. 11 14 6 9
The Data Protection Officer
AI search answers from company information, reaches into Microsoft databases and Microsoft 365 Copilot, and results are stated to respect content permissions; AI agents flag outdated content for update or archiving and AI writing agents draft and translate it. We found no public information on a people directory or org chart, page ownership with versions, or offline reading. 11 14 12 9
The Skeptic
Search reaching into Microsoft 365, SharePoint and Copilot, restricted to content the employee is permitted to see, plus AI agents that flag outdated content, is more than most feeds manage. But a people directory, org chart, versioning and offline pages — what a real intranet buyer asks about — we found no public information on, and the 200-language figure is attached to training journeys, not to page translation. 2 11 14 6
Engagement, surveys & onboarding
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
How the workforce answers back and gets started: comments, reactions and moderation, employee surveys and pulse checks with anonymity rules, recognition, user-generated posts and communities, onboarding journeys for new starters including those without a desk, event and campaign pages, and the measures the vendor offers to report engagement.
0 — One-way only; employees cannot react, comment or answer in the product.
3 — Likes and comments on posts; surveys, moderation and onboarding are basic or not described.
5 — Comments and reactions with moderation, surveys or polls sent to targeted groups with results shown, employee posts or communities, and an onboarding area or journey for new employees.
8 — Pulse and engagement surveys with a stated anonymity threshold, automated onboarding journeys timed from the start date and reaching new starters before their first shift, recognition, communities with moderation rules, and engagement reported per group without exposing individuals.
10 — Listening that leads to action: survey results tied to follow-up tasks and published back to the workforce, anonymity and minimum group sizes documented, onboarding journeys measured by completion, and engagement data exportable for analysis.
The Internal Communications Lead
Two-way chat, interactive polls, employee video and moderated communities are named, and onboarding is a real journey product: pre-boarding, digital forms, real-time progress tracking, over 200 languages, and the same treatment for frontline as for desk staff. We found no public information on anonymity rules or minimum group sizes for surveys — the first question my works council would ask. 3 4 12 13
The Frontline Operations Lead
Pre-boarding and onboarding journeys run on smartphones in over 200 languages with digital forms, a welcome video and real-time progress tracking for HR — reaching new starters before their first shift, which is what I need for seasonal hires. Communities with two-way chat, interactive polls, employee-generated video and AI moderation are documented, and recognition is named for frontline and corporate alike. We found no public information on anonymity rules for surveys or engagement reporting by group. 13 12 4
The Microsoft 365 Administrator
Journeys cover pre-boarding, onboarding and upskilling with digital forms, automated steps, real-time progress tracking for HR and over 200 languages on the smartphone, so new starters can be reached before their first shift. Communities offer two-way chat, interactive polls, employee-generated video and AI moderation, and recognition is named for frontline and corporate workers alike. We found no public information on anonymity thresholds for surveys or on engagement reporting per group without exposing individuals. 13 12 4
The Works Council Member
Two-way chat, interactive polls, employee-generated video, communities with embedded AI moderation, and automated onboarding journeys including pre-boarding for frontline starters are documented, with recognition and referrals named alongside. But the anonymity rules for surveys are not described anywhere we read, and HR is advertised as tracking each newcomer's progress "in real time" — individual-level reporting with no stated group-size floor. 12 13 4
The Data Protection Officer
Two-way chat, interactive polls, employee-generated video, communities with embedded AI moderation and recognition are documented, alongside pre-boarding, onboarding and upskilling journeys in over 200 languages with HR tracking progress in real time. We found no public information on anonymity rules or minimum group sizes for surveys and engagement reporting — the first thing I ask for before a pulse survey goes to a small team. 12 13 4
The Skeptic
Communities with two-way chat, interactive polls and employee-generated video are documented, and onboarding is the strongest area: pre-boarding, automated digital forms, a welcome video and real-time progress tracking, with recognition named for frontline and corporate alike. Surveys appear only as polls — we found no public information on anonymity rules or minimum group sizes — and engagement reporting stops at dashboards. 12 13 4
Works council, private phones & privacy by design
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Whether the product can be rolled out under German co-determination and data protection: guidance or a template for a works agreement (Betriebsvereinbarung, § 87 BetrVG), no individual performance or behaviour monitoring by default, read and usage analytics aggregated or configurable, use on private phones without a company device (BYOD) with work and private data separated, quiet hours and availability settings, voluntary use without an employee email address, data minimisation and deletion, and accessibility.
0 — Built to monitor the behaviour or performance of individual employees, with that monitoring sold as a feature.
3 — A general GDPR statement; works council, use on private phones, analytics on individuals and quiet hours are basic or not described.
5 — Use on private phones described with what the employer can and cannot see, analytics shown in aggregate, notification or quiet-hour settings, and works councils or employee representatives named as a topic with information offered.
8 — A works-agreement template or checklist published, individual tracking off by default or switchable per tenant, read confirmations limited to messages that require them, quiet hours enforced, a login without a private email or phone number, data minimisation and deletion periods stated, and accessibility to WCAG or BITV stated.
10 — Co-determination built into the product: every analytics view and its granularity documented for the works council, configuration logged, employee-facing privacy notices in the app, minimum group sizes for every report, and published references of works-council-approved rollouts.
The Internal Communications Lead
GDPR and French data protection commitments plus ISO 27001 and SOC 2 are stated, and the login needs neither email nor password, but the captured pages advertise visibility into who has seen what without describing aggregated or configurable analytics. We found no public information on a works-agreement template, quiet hours, separation of work and private data on personal phones, or accessibility against WCAG. 6 7 8 9
The Frontline Operations Lead
A GDPR and French data protection commitment, ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certifications, encryption, and consent required before tracking pixels are documented, and the QR login works on a personal phone. However, we found no public information on a works-agreement template or checklist, quiet hours, data minimisation and deletion periods for employee data, or whether the documented read visibility ("who's seen what") can be aggregated — my works council will ask about exactly that. 6 8 7 10
The Microsoft 365 Administrator
The privacy policy does the GDPR mechanics properly — French data protection act compliance, consent required before any email tracking pixels, three-year retention for prospect data — and ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II are stated, but co-determination is untouched. We found no public information on a works-agreement template, on defaults and granularity for read confirmations and analytics, on separation of work and private data on personal phones, or on quiet hours. For a German rollout that gap has to close before I sign anything. 8 6 9
The Works Council Member
There is a GDPR commitment with reference to the French data-protection authority, encryption in transit and at rest, and a QR login that needs no private email or phone number. We found no public information on a works-agreement template, quiet hours, aggregated analytics or deletion periods for employee data — the only retention period stated concerns prospective customers — and what the pages do show is "visibility into who's seen what" and HR tracking each newcomer's progress in real time. Before any signature, the vendor would have to document every analytics view a manager can open about one person. 6 7 8 9 10 13
The Data Protection Officer
A full GDPR statement including the French Data Protection Act exists, with consent required before email pixel tracking, but the privacy policy expressly covers only data where LumApps is controller and not employee data processed as processor, so the terms a German employer's works council needs are not publicly visible. We found no public information on a works agreement template, quiet hours, separation of work and private data on private phones, or aggregation of read and usage analytics, while the frontline page advertises individual visibility into who has seen what. 7 8 9 6
The Skeptic
A general GDPR statement backed by ISO 27001 and SOC 2 is the whole of it; the privacy policy even states it applies only where LumApps acts as data controller, not as processor for the product. Login without a private email is real, but we found no public information on a works-agreement template, quiet hours, separation of work and private data on personal phones, or whether the "who's seen what" visibility can be aggregated or switched off — the questions a works council asks first. 8 6 10 9
Integration, identity & administration
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
How the product fits the company's systems and is run: Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Teams and Google Workspace integration, user provisioning from the HR system or directory (Entra ID, SAP SuccessFactors, Personio, Workday), single sign-on and SCIM, roles and admin rights by site or department, an API and webhooks, integrations with shift planning and payroll for frontline links, white-label apps, and an export of content and users when leaving.
0 — Stand-alone with manual user lists and no integration of any kind.
3 — Users imported from a file and a few links to other tools; single sign-on, provisioning and an API are basic or not described.
5 — Single sign-on with named identity providers, users provisioned from a directory or HR system, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace integration, several named integrations, and a documented API.
8 — Automated provisioning by SCIM or HR connector including staff without email, delegated administration by site or department, integration in Microsoft Teams and SharePoint, connectors for named HR, shift and payroll systems, webhooks, a white-label app option, and an audit log.
10 — Runs as part of the company's systems: a public developer platform with versioned API and SDKs, every integration documented, a status page and stated SLA, and a full export of content, users and analytics that a successor system can import.
The Internal Communications Lead
More than 100 named connectors including Entra ID, Okta, Workday, SAP SuccessFactors and payroll tools, single sign-on via Microsoft, Google, SAML and OpenID, admin access configured by role, location or department, an SDK with a documented digital-signage build in under 15 days, and a stated 99.97 percent uptime SLA. We found no public information on SCIM provisioning, webhooks or an audit log, and no shift-planning system is named. 5 6 14 15
The Frontline Operations Lead
Single sign-on with Microsoft, Google, SAML 2.0 and OpenID, Okta managing access as a single source of truth, native Workday, SAP and ServiceNow integrations, more than 100 connectors and a documented SDK and API cover most of my landscape, with admins configuring access by role, location or department and a 99.97 percent uptime SLA stated. We found no public information on automated SCIM or HR-connector provisioning including staff without email, webhooks, a white-label app option or an audit log. 6 15 5 14 4
The Microsoft 365 Administrator
Entra ID, Azure AD and Okta sit in a directory of over 100 connectors next to SAP SuccessFactors, Workday, SharePoint and Teams, single sign-on is stated for Microsoft, Google, SAML 2.0 and OpenID, and an SDK and API are documented with a partner integration built in under fifteen days — the identity and API story holds up. Microsoft 365 integration appears as Teams chat and OneDrive widgets inside LumApps communities with access configurable by role, location and department, though the captured pages do not show the app running inside Teams itself. We found no public information on SCIM provisioning, webhooks, an audit log or an export of content and users when the contract ends. 15 6 14 11
The Works Council Member
Single sign-on with Microsoft, Google, SAML and OpenID, named connectors for Workday, SAP SuccessFactors and ServiceNow, SharePoint and Teams integration with widgets, admin access configurable by role, location or department, a documented SDK and API with over a hundred connectors, and a stated 99.97 percent SLA on Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure are all on the record. The QR flow even syncs email-free starters into their profile. We found no public information on SCIM provisioning, webhooks or an audit log. 6 15 14 4 10
The Data Protection Officer
Single sign-on is documented for Microsoft, Google, SAML and OpenID with Okta managing access from one source of truth, over 100 connectors including Workday, SAP SuccessFactors and Entra ID, native Workday, SAP and ServiceNow integrations, admin access configurable by role, location or department, and a public SDK and API. We found no public information on SCIM provisioning, webhooks, an audit log or an export of content and users when leaving. 6 15 14 5
The Skeptic
The best-evidenced criterion here: over a hundred connectors including Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Payfit and Lucca, single sign-on via Microsoft, Google, SAML and OpenID, Okta identity management, admin rights by role, site and department, a public API with an SDK, and a stated 99.97 percent SLA uptime. We found no public information on SCIM, webhooks, an audit log, or an export of content and users when leaving — the last item is what I always price in. 5 6 15 14 3
European sovereignty
panel opinion
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Who the contracting entity and the parent company are, where employee profiles, messages, files and usage data are hosted, and who the subprocessors are (hosting, push notifications, email and SMS delivery, video, translation, AI models, analytics, support). Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline; an employee app holds data on the whole workforce, often on private phones, so the whole chain counts, not only the database.
0 — Non-EU vendor and contracting entity, hosting unstated, subprocessors unnamed, and no data processing agreement offered.
3 — A privacy policy and a data processing agreement exist, but hosting location is unstated or non-EU and the subprocessors are not listed.
5 — EU hosting available and an EU contracting entity or EU representative, but parts of the chain (push delivery, translation, AI, email, analytics, support) run through non-EU providers without a stated safeguard.
8 — EU hosting on named infrastructure, EU contracting entity, subprocessors listed with their locations, a data processing agreement published, and security certifications (ISO 27001, SOC 2) stated.
10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: European ownership, entity, hosting and every subprocessor, or self-hosting on the customer's own servers, data export and deletion documented, and certifications published with their scope rather than implied.
The Internal Communications Lead
The contracting entity is documented as French — LumApps SAS with a Lyon RCS number and French VAT number — with GDPR commitments, ISO 27001 and SOC 2. Hosting is named only as Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure with no region stated, transfers to the United States are acknowledged, and beyond two providers used for prospect-data enrichment we found no public information on the subprocessor chain for push, translation, AI or support. 6 7 8
The Frontline Operations Lead
The contracting entity is LumApps SAS in Tassin-la-Demi-Lune, France, with ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certifications and GDPR commitments stated, and hosting named as Google Cloud (with the SLA on Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure) — but no region. We found no public information on the hosting location or a subprocessor list — only two contact-enrichment providers are named, for prospect data — and the privacy policy itself acknowledges transfers to the United States under model clauses, with a US entity certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. 7 8 6
The Microsoft 365 Administrator
The contracting entity is demonstrably French — LumApps SAS with RCS Lyon registration, French VAT and commitments under the French data protection act — and ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II are stated, but the security pages name Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure as hosts without naming any region. We found no published subprocessor list for the employee-data chain, and the US entity's Data Privacy Framework participation alongside acknowledged US transfers leaves the Cloud Act question open. Hosting location and the delivery chain are the first questions my works council will ask. 7 6 8
The Works Council Member
The contracting entity is LumApps SAS in France with RCS Lyon registration, and ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II are stated. The privacy policy names Google Cloud infrastructure and acknowledges transfers to the United States under model clauses and adequacy decisions through a DPF-certified US entity, but we found no public information on hosting regions, a subprocessor list with locations, or a published data-processing agreement for customers. With both named hosts US-headquartered, the CLOUD Act reaches the chain regardless of where the servers sit. 7 8 6
The Data Protection Officer
The contracting entity is LumApps SAS in France with ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II and a GDPR commitment stated, but hosting is on Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure with no region stated and we found no public subprocessor list beyond the hosts, nor a published data processing agreement for processor-context employee data. The AI chain names OpenAI, ChatGPT and Azure OpenAI among the integrations, a US entity is DPF-certified and subject to FTC enforcement, and the privacy policy discloses US transfers with model clauses only where LumApps is controller — for workforce data the chain through US-headquartered clouds remains without a stated safeguard. 7 8 6 15
The Skeptic
The contracting entity is a French SAS with an RCS Lyon number, but the named hosts are Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure with no regions stated, and the pages we read acknowledge transfers to the United States. No full subprocessor list appears on the captured pages, and we found no public information on a data processing agreement covering the product in its processor role. Certifications are stated; the chain below the database is not. 8 6 7
Pricing transparency
not rated — the vendor publishes no price
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Whether a buyer can compute the real annual cost from public pages alone: price per user or per employee, whether frontline and desk staff are priced differently, platform or base fee, which modules (intranet, employee email, surveys, translation, AI, a white-label app) cost extra, minimum seats and term, and setup and onboarding fees.
0 — No public prices at all; every customer is a sales call.
3 — A starting price or a free tier exists, but how cost scales with users, modules or a branded app is unclear.
5 — Tiers are public with their per-user or base price and main inclusions, but at least one commonly needed piece (frontline users, translation, a branded app, extra modules) is unpriced or "on request".
8 — Every tier priced publicly with its scaling rule (per user, per frontline user, per active user), add-ons and a branded app priced, minimum seats and term, setup fees and VAT treatment stated.
10 — Complete price computability: annual cost derivable for a given headcount and module set, with every add-on, setup, support and branded-app fee and the cancellation and data-return terms published.
The Internal Communications Lead
We found no public information on prices — no tiers, per-user rates, module or branded-app pricing, minimum terms or setup fees — and the captured commercial pages direct buyers to request a demo, so I could not begin to estimate an annual cost for 3,000 people across eleven sites. 15
The Frontline Operations Lead
We found no public price information on the captured pages — no per-user or per-frontline-user price, no base fee, no term, no setup fees. The only documented route is requesting a demo, so I cannot compute what 1,800 mostly seasonal staff would cost me per year. 15
The Microsoft 365 Administrator not rated — no public information
We found no public information on prices: no per-user or per-employee rate, tier structure, seat minimum, term or setup fee appears on any page we read. The only documented buying step is a request for a demo, so the real annual cost cannot be computed from public pages alone. 15 1
The Works Council Member
On the pages captured we found no public information on prices, tiers, per-user rates, minimum seats or setup fees; the only commercial step offered is a demo request. From public pages alone no annual cost can be computed. 15 1
The Data Protection Officer
We found no public prices on the captured pages — no per-user rate, tier, base fee or module price — and the offered path is a demo request, so an employer cannot compute the annual cost from public information. 15
The Skeptic

- Evidence ages. The oldest capture behind this page is from 29 Oct 2026. Vendors change pricing and policies without notice; every fact reflects its source as of the capture date shown in the registry.
- Weak sourcing — Legal entity. Not confirmed on the vendor’s own pages as captured.
- AI can misread a source. Extraction and judgement are automated; a citation guarantees traceability, not infallibility. If something here is wrong, say so — no account needed, every report is decided within 5 business days, and accepted corrections are published.
