The panel's verdict
Quiply is an employee communication and intranet app from Atoria – the people software GmbH, built to reach staff without a PC workstation. The bench scores it strongest on reach and targeting, works council and privacy, and integration and administration, each 6 to 7: push, smart groups and role-based visibility sit beside works-council material, Azure Active Directory single sign-on, imports from Datev, Sage-KHK, Abacus, SAP and Personio, payslip delivery and an App-Superior rights tier. Engagement and feedback is weakest after pricing, 4 to 5: likes, comments and anonymised surveys are documented, while moderation rules, minimum group sizes for survey results and onboarding journeys are not described. Pricing transparency scores 2 with no spread — the Essential and Professional tiers and the 40-licence minimum are named, but every figure comes only with an individual quote. Sovereignty draws the widest spread, 5 to 7, with rationales citing the captured pages giving different statements on the subprocessor chain: the security page claims operation without subprocessors outside the EU, while the privacy policy names AWS, Cloudflare and Netlify at US addresses.
Speaks for it
- Push, smart groups, role-based visibility and formal read confirmations reach staff without a PC workstation or company email address.
- Works councils are addressed directly with a free e-book, a whitepaper with legal assessments from the Works Constitution Act and a practical checklist.
- Accessibility is documented against BFSG, BGG, BITV 2.0 and WCAG, with regular screenreader tests by a blind tester.
- Imports from Datev, Sage-KHK, Abacus, SAP and Personio, Azure Active Directory single sign-on, payslip delivery and shift-planning connectors are documented.
- Real-time translation of posts and chats into over 100 languages is documented.
Held against it
- Every concrete price comes only with an individual quote, and the 5 to 25 Euro per user per month range shown is expressly a market overview, not Quiply prices.
- The captured pages give different statements on the subprocessor chain: the security page claims operation without subprocessors outside the EU, while the privacy policy names AWS, Cloudflare and Netlify at US addresses.
- The published technical and organisational measures state that pseudonymisation is currently not implemented.
- We found no public information on a documented API, webhooks, SCIM provisioning or an audit log.
- We found no public information on urgent alerts overriding quiet settings, reach figures per message and audience, or enforced quiet hours.
Best for
- You need to reach frontline and deskless staff, including colleagues without a company email address, on iOS, Android and web browsers.
- Your rollout depends on winning over a works council and you want vendor material prepared for that conversation.
- Your payroll runs in Datev, Sage-KHK or Abacus and you want payslips delivered digitally alongside HR system imports.
- You serve a multilingual workforce that needs posts and chats translated in real time into over 100 languages.
Avoid if
- You need to compute an annual cost from public prices before talking to sales — every concrete figure comes only with an individual quote.
- Your team is smaller than the 40-licence minimum.
- Your data protection review rules out US providers in the subprocessor chain — the privacy policy names AWS, Cloudflare and Netlify at US addresses.
- You require pseudonymisation as a technical measure — the published technical and organisational measures state it is currently not implemented.

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
Targeting by dynamic groups and channels with role-based visibility, documents sent automatically to the right people, push notifications, scheduled publishing, read confirmations that can be demanded and quitted, a campaign function to acknowledge the receipt of mandatory instructions, and offline access on the phone are all documented, and the employee app is explicitly aimed at staff without a PC workstation. I found no public information on a documented login route for staff without a company email address, on urgent alerts that override quiet settings, or on reach figures per post and audience — the admin dashboard offers analyses, but their granularity is not described. 1 2 9 10
The Frontline Operations Lead
Push notifications in real time, channels whose visibility is controlled by role profiles, and smart groups that assign people automatically by attributes like location and department cover most of what my notice board does today, and the campaign function confirms receipt of important instructions. The directory explicitly includes staff without a company email address, and offline mode and scheduled publishing are documented. We found no public information on urgent alerts that override quiet settings, or on reach figures per post and per audience. 1 2 9
The Microsoft 365 Administrator
Push notifications, an app for iOS, Android and web browsers, smart groups with role-based visibility, scheduled publishing and campaign read confirmations for important instructions are all documented, and the directory explicitly includes staff without a company email address. I found no public information on urgent alerts that override quiet settings, on the login method for staff without email or company devices, or on reach analytics broken down per message or audience — so for 2,500 unlicensed colleagues I could not prove who was actually reached. 2 5 9
The Works Council Member
Push notifications to iOS, Android and the browser are documented, with dynamic groups, role-based visibility, scheduled publishing and formal read confirmations for important instructions, and the app is explicitly built to reach staff without a PC workstation, the directory including colleagues without a company email address. Toward the top end, offline access to already loaded posts is described. We found no public information on urgent alerts that override quiet settings, login by personnel number, SMS code or QR, or reach figures per message and audience — the admin dashboard shows analyses, but the pages do not say what a manager can see about one post, let alone one person. 2 3 5 9
The Data Protection Officer
Push notifications reach the workforce in real time, posts can be pre-produced and released on schedule through an editorial plan, and the campaign function confirms receipt of important instructions. Targeting runs through smart groups with automatic assignment and role-based visibility of posts, the app covers iOS, Android and common web browsers, staff without a company email address are included in the directory, and an admin dashboard with analyses serves the communication. We found no public information on urgent alerts that override quiet settings, on reach figures broken down per audience, or on shared devices for staff without their own phone. 2 5 9 1
The Skeptic
There is real machinery here: push in real time, dynamic assignment of staff to groups and channels, role-based visibility, formal read confirmations and campaign acknowledgement for instructions, a scheduling plan and an offline mode. What I do not see is the crisis end of it — no urgent alert that overrides quiet settings, no delivery to language groups from HR data — and reach reporting is a general admin dashboard with analyses, not figures per message and audience. 1 2 5 9
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
A company wiki that works without a separate content management system, a document library for handbooks and QMS documents, an integrated search that finds files again, an employee directory with freely definable profile fields, and real-time translation of posts and chats into more than 100 languages are documented, in the app and on the desktop. I found no public information on page ownership, review dates or versioning, an org chart built from HR data, or search that reaches into connected systems such as SharePoint. 2 9 10
The Frontline Operations Lead
A document library for handbooks and QMS, a company wiki, integrated search, a people directory and real-time translation of posts and chats into more than 100 languages are documented — more than the six languages I need — with content available in the mobile app and browser. We found no public information on versioning, review dates and page ownership, or on search reaching into connected systems such as SharePoint. 2 9 10
The Microsoft 365 Administrator
A company wiki, a document library, integrated search, a people directory with configurable profile fields and real-time translation into more than 100 languages are documented, plus an offline mode for loaded posts — a solid base. I found no public information on templates, page ownership, review dates, versioning, an org chart from HR data, or search across connected systems such as SharePoint, which is the governance I would need so this does not become a second SharePoint nobody maintains. 2 9 10
The Works Council Member
A company wiki, a document library with an integrated search function, a people directory with freely definable profile fields such as site, department and skills, content available in the mobile app, and real-time translation of posts and chats into over 100 languages are all documented. We found no public information on versioning, review dates or expiry for content, an org chart from HR data, or search across connected systems such as SharePoint. 2 9 10
The Data Protection Officer
A company wiki can be run without a separate content management system, a document library holds handbooks and plans, an integrated search finds files, an employee directory is included, and everything works on phone and desktop. Posts and chats are translated in real time by artificial intelligence into over 100 languages, and knowledge can be recorded as audio or video podcasts. We found no public information on page ownership, review dates or versioning, and no org chart built from HR data. 10 2 9
The Skeptic
A company wiki, a document library, search, a people directory that also lists staff without a company email address, and AI real-time translation of posts and chats into over a hundred languages — that is a solid mid-level knowledge base. The governance layer is thin on the captured pages: no templates, page ownership, review dates or versioning described, no search across connected systems, no org chart. 2 9 10
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
Likes, comments and reaction GIFs are documented, surveys are described as anonymised with direct evaluation, channels and team rooms provide communities, and celebration effects for anniversaries and goals are the nearest thing to recognition. I found no public information on moderation rules, an onboarding journey for new starters timed from their start date, a minimum group size for survey results, or engagement figures reported per group. 2 3 9 10
The Frontline Operations Lead
Likes, comments, channels and team rooms are documented, and surveys run anonymised with direct evaluation — a customer even calls the survey tool indispensable. We found no public information on an onboarding journey timed to the start date and reaching new starters before their first shift; welcome manuals and tutorials are described as content, not a guided journey. We also found no public information on moderation rules or minimum group sizes for survey results. 2 3 9 10
The Microsoft 365 Administrator
Likes and comments, anonymised surveys with direct evaluation and export to Excel or Google Sheets, polls, idea exchange and celebration effects for anniversaries and goals are documented. I found no public information on an onboarding journey for new starters, moderation rules, minimum group sizes for anonymous results, or engagement reporting per group, which keeps it a step below the full pattern. 2 3 9
The Works Council Member
Likes and comments, anonymised surveys with direct evaluation, idea exchange and group channels or team rooms are documented, and the anonymisation of surveys is exactly where any agreement with the council would start. An onboarding offering appears only as welcome manuals, video messages and tutorials. We found no public information on moderation rules, minimum group sizes for survey results, or engagement reporting per group. 1 2 3 9
The Data Protection Officer
Surveys are described as anonymised with direct evaluation and results exportable to Excel or Google Sheets, employees can react with likes and comments and gather in channels and group chats, and celebration effects mark anniversaries and birthdays. Welcome manuals, video messages and tutorials can be provided in the app for new starters. We found no public information on moderation of employee posts, on timed onboarding journeys, or on a stated minimum group size protecting anonymity in survey results. 9 2 10 1
The Skeptic
Likes and comments, anonymised surveys with direct evaluation and export to Excel or Google Sheets, channels and team rooms, celebration effects and welcome manuals give the two-way basics. Moderation rules, a stated anonymity threshold, onboarding journeys timed from the start date and per-group engagement reporting are not described; the marketing claims an activation rate above ninety percent, and how that figure is measured is not shown. 2 3 9 10
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
The vendor addresses works councils directly with a free e-book, a whitepaper on the Works Constitution Act with a practical checklist and the claim that roles prevent surveillance; use on private devices is stated, accessibility is claimed against BFSG, BITV 2.0 and WCAG with regular screenreader tests by a blind tester, and deletion after contract end is described. I found no public information on enforced quiet hours, on whether individual usage tracking is off by default, on whether read analytics are shown in aggregate, or on a login without a private email address or phone number. 3 4 5 8 11
The Frontline Operations Lead
Use on private devices (BYOD), GDPR and Swiss DSG conformity, anonymised surveys, deletion rules, and a whitepaper on the Works Constitution Act with a practical checklist plus a free e-book on involving the works council are documented. Accessibility is unusually well evidenced, with WCAG, BITV 2.0, BFSG and BGG and regular screenreader tests by a blind tester. We found no public information on what the employer can and cannot see on private phones, on quiet hours, or on how analytics are aggregated or configured. 3 4 5 8 11
The Microsoft 365 Administrator
Unusually well covered for co-determination: a dedicated works-council page with a free e-book, a whitepaper with a practical checklist and legal assessments from the Works Constitution Act, use on private devices confirmed, anonymised surveys, deletion at contract end stated, and accessibility conformance to BITV 2.0 and WCAG, tested with a blind tester. I found no public information on quiet hours, on whether individual tracking is off by default, on minimum group sizes for reports, or on the analytics granularity a works council would ask to see. 3 4 5 8 11
The Works Council Member
This vendor courts the council openly: a dedicated works council page, a free e-book 'Den Betriebsrat erfolgreich einbinden', a whitepaper with legal assessments from the Betriebsverfassungsgesetz and a practical checklist, works council news distributable to all employees, BYOD explicitly supported with an app lock, and accessibility stated as conformant with BFSG, BGG, BITV 2.0 and WCAG, including regular screenreader tests by a blind tester. What decides my signature remains open: we found no public information on how far the admin dashboard's analyses drill down or what a manager can see about one person, and we found no public information on enforced quiet hours. The technical and organisational measures state that pseudonymisation is currently not implemented, and formal read confirmations can be requested in chats without the pages describing a limit to messages that require them. 2 3 4 5 8 11
The Data Protection Officer
Works councils get a dedicated page, a free ebook and a whitepaper with legal assessments from the works constitution act plus a practical checklist, and use on private devices is explicitly supported with an app screen lock. The vendor describes a centrally administered closed system in which roles prevent surveillance, read confirmations are requested formally, deletion rules are stated, and accessibility is documented against BITV 2.0, BFSG, BGG and WCAG with regular screenreader tests by a blind tester. We found no public information on quiet hours or on a works-agreement template, and the published technical measures state that pseudonymisation is currently not implemented. 3 4 2 5 8 11
The Skeptic
A free works-council ebook, a whitepaper on the Works Constitution Act with a practical checklist, BYOD use, deletion at contract end, and accessibility conform with BFSG, BGG, BITV 2.0 and WCAG — tested regularly by a blind tester — take this seriously. But quiet hours are nowhere on the captured pages, the granularity of read and usage analytics is not documented for employee representatives, and the vendor's own technical measures state that pseudonymisation measures are currently not implemented. 3 4 5 7 8 11
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
Single sign-on with Azure Active Directory, user imports from Datev, Sage, Abacus, SAP and Personio, an optional SharePoint link, connections to shift and duty planning systems, a digital mailbox for payslips from payroll systems, and a Professional package with an own branded app in the stores are documented, and an App-Superior rights tier serves multi-site companies between users and admins. I found no public information on a documented API, webhooks, automated SCIM provisioning or an audit log. 2 4 5
The Frontline Operations Lead
Optional user management with MS Azure Active Directory and single sign-on, imports from Datev, Sage-KHK, Abacus, SAP, Personio or XLS/CSV, connections to many shift and duty planning systems, and payslips delivered through a digital employee mailbox are exactly the frontline wiring I need. Delegated rights for multi-site companies via the App-Superior role and an own branded app in the Professional package are documented. We found no public information on a documented API, webhooks, SCIM provisioning or an audit log. 2 4 5
The Microsoft 365 Administrator
Azure Active Directory single sign-on and user management, imports from SAP, Personio, Datev and other HR systems, SharePoint as a stated option, shift-planning and payslip connectors, a branded own app in the stores, and the new App-Superior rights layer between users and admins for multi-site companies are documented. I found no public information on an API, webhooks, SCIM provisioning, integration inside Microsoft Teams, an audit log, or an export of content and users at contract end — precisely the questions I ask first remain open. 2 5
The Works Council Member
Single sign-on with Azure Active Directory, user management and imports from DATEV, Sage-KHK, Abacus, SAP and Personio, a SharePoint link, confidential payslip delivery from payroll systems, connectors for shift and duty planning, delegated rights for multi-site companies via App-Superior, a branded own app in the Professional version and a system status page are documented. We found no public information on a documented API, webhooks, SCIM provisioning or an audit log. 2 4 5 9
The Data Protection Officer
Single sign-on and user management with Azure AD as well as SharePoint or intranet integration are offered as options, users can be imported from Datev, Sage, Abacus, SAP, Personio or CSV files, and connections exist to shift planning systems plus a digital mailbox for payslips from Datev, Sage and Abacus. An App-Superior rights tier sits between users and admins for multi-site companies, permissions run from author to administrator, and the Professional version is a custom-branded app under the customer's name in the stores. We found no public information on a documented API, SCIM provisioning, webhooks or an audit log. 2 5 4
The Skeptic
Azure Active Directory single sign-on with user management, imports from Datev, Sage, Abacus, SAP and Personio, connectors to shift-planning systems, a payslip mailbox from Datev, Sage and Abacus, an App-Superior rights layer for multi-site companies, a white-label app in the Professional version and a system status page — a decent fit for a frontline operation. What the buyer cannot see: a documented API, SCIM, webhooks or an audit log. 2 5 9
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 a German GmbH with a Stuttgart register number and German VAT ID, hosting is stated as Frankfurt in an ISO 27001 certified data centre, a data processing agreement per Article 28 GDPR is concluded, and the privacy policy names subprocessors with their addresses — including AWS with a US entity, Cloudflare and Netlify in the USA, and Hetzner in Germany. The security page claims operation without subprocessors outside the EU, so the captured pages give different figures on the subprocessor chain; I found no public information on the group's ultimate owner or on the providers behind push delivery, translation and the AI editor in the product chain. 4 6 7 8
The Frontline Operations Lead
The contracting entity is Atoria – the people software GmbH of Cologne with registry court Stuttgart, hosting is stated as Frankfurt in ISO 27001 certified data centres, data processing agreements under Art. 28 GDPR are concluded, and the privacy policy names service providers with their locations, including AWS, Cloudflare and Netlify at US addresses. The captured pages give different statements on the chain: the security page says operation runs without sub-processors outside the EU. Ownership also appears differently across the pages, as owner-managed and as a company of the Proalpha Group. 4 6 7 8
The Microsoft 365 Administrator
The contracting entity is a German GmbH registered at Stuttgart, hosting is stated as Frankfurt on AWS in ISO 27001 certified data centres, a data processing agreement is offered, and the privacy policy lists subprocessors with their locations, naming AWS Inc. in Seattle, Cloudflare and Netlify in the USA alongside Hetzner and others in Germany. The captured pages give different pictures on ownership — one page calls the provider owner-managed, the imprint shows it as part of the Proalpha Group — and on non-EU subprocessors, so I cannot vouch for the chain end to end. 4 6 7 8
The Works Council Member
The contracting entity is the German Atoria – the people software GmbH with register court and VAT ID, the group data protection officer of the proalpha Unternehmensgruppe is appointed, hosting is stated as Frankfurt in ISO 27001 certified data centres, an AV-Vertrag per Art. 28 DSGVO is concluded with all service providers, and the privacy policy lists subprocessors with addresses — Hetzner and Papoo in Germany, but also AWS Inc. in Seattle, Cloudflare in San Francisco and Netlify in California. The captured pages give different pictures of the chain: the security page claims operation without subprocessors outside the EU and Schrems-II compliance, while the privacy policy names those US providers and the technical measures run on AWS infrastructure. The pages also give different figures for ownership — 'inhabergeführt' on one page and 'a company of the Proalpha Group' in the imprint — and we found no public information on where the AI translation or push delivery run. 4 6 7 8
The Data Protection Officer
The contracting entity is a German GmbH with a Stuttgart register number and German VAT ID, hosting is stated as Frankfurt with ISO 27001 certified data centres, a data processing agreement is offered, and the technical and organisational measures are published including AWS as hosting subprocessor. The privacy policy lists service providers with addresses, naming AWS Inc. of Seattle, Cloudflare Inc. and Netlify Inc. of San Francisco, while the security page states operation without subprocessors outside the EU, and the measures do not state which AWS entity is the contracting party. We found no public information on the provider behind the artificial-intelligence translation of chats and posts, or on the push delivery chain. 6 4 8 7
The Skeptic
A German GmbH with a Cologne address and a Stuttgart register entry, hosting in Frankfurt in an ISO 27001 certified data centre, a data processing agreement offered and subprocessors listed with full addresses — on paper a proper EU story. But the privacy policy's own list names AWS Inc. of Seattle, Cloudflare and Netlify as providers in the chain, while the security page claims operation without subprocessors outside the EU — the captured pages give different pictures — the ISO 27001 scope is the data centre only, and who runs the AI editor and the hundred-language translation is not named at all. 4 6 7 8
Pricing transparency
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
The pricing page names an Essential and a Professional package with a minimum of 40 licences and describes a cost model of a one-time setup fee plus monthly cost per employee, but the pages state no figures at all and concrete costs come only with an individual quote. The 5 to 25 euro per user and month range shown is explicitly a market overview, not a Quiply price, and the prices of the add-on modules are not stated. 1 5 9
The Frontline Operations Lead
The pricing page names no amounts: a one-time setup fee plus monthly costs per employee, a minimum of 40 licences, with concrete costs available only through an individual quote. The Essential and Professional scopes are described, but we found no public figures for modules, translation or the branded Professional app; the quoted range of 5 to 25 Euro per user and month is expressly a market overview, not Quiply prices. I cannot compute the annual cost for 1,800 staff from the public pages alone. 1 5 9
The Microsoft 365 Administrator
The pricing page names the model — a one-time setup fee plus monthly cost per employee — with a 40-licence minimum and Essential and Professional tiers, but every concrete figure comes only with an individual quote, and the add-on modules and the branded app are unpriced. For a 4,000-person company I cannot compute an annual cost from the public pages. 1 5
The Works Council Member
A pricing page exists and names the model — a one-time setup fee plus monthly cost per employee, minimum licenses of 40, an Essential and a Professional tier with their feature lists — but every concrete figure comes only with an individual offer. The only numbers on the captured pages are a market overview of 'zwischen 5 und 25 Euro pro Benutzer und Monat' that is expressly not Quiply prices. Nothing is computable before the sales conversation. 1 5 9
The Data Protection Officer
The pricing page names an Essential and a Professional package with their inclusions, a minimum of 40 licences, and the model of a one-time setup fee plus monthly cost per employee, but shows no prices: concrete costs are stated to come only with an individual quote. The only numbers published are a market overview of between 5 and 25 Euro per user and month, which the page frames as typical for intranet solutions rather than as the vendor's own prices. A buyer cannot compute an annual cost from the public pages. 5 1 9
The Skeptic
The pricing page names an Essential and a Professional tier, a one-time setup fee, monthly cost per employee, a minimum of forty licenses and add-on modules — and not a single euro figure; the page itself says concrete costs come only with an individual offer. The only numbers on the captured pages are a market overview of five to twenty-five euros per user and month, explicitly not this vendor's prices, and the branded Professional app and every module are unpriced. 1 5 9

Where this could be wrong
- 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 — Data processing agreement, Transfer impact assessment, Hosting location, 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.
