Why

Three decisions behind the price.

01 / Fair

Per company, not per seat

Every competitor charges by user. The more people use their product, the more it costs you. We charge by company band. More employees submitting ideas makes the product more valuable, not more expensive.

02 / Complete

AI included, not an add-on

Brightidea, Viima, and Ideanote sell AI features separately or as an enterprise upsell. Sparqbox includes the AI reviewer, coach, and trend detection on every tier. If AI matters, it matters everywhere.

03 / Simple

Self-serve in an afternoon

Enterprise idea platforms require €10-30k in onboarding consulting. Sparqbox sets up in an afternoon. That’s why we can charge €99 where others charge €3,000+.

Questions

Before you ask.

Full-time and part-time staff who might ever submit or review an idea. Contractors and temporary workers don’t count unless you want them to use Sparqbox. We don’t audit this — it’s an honor system based on your HR headcount.
Your ideas keep working. We’ll reach out and ask you to upgrade within 30 days. No surprise charges, no locked features mid-month.
Yes. You can upgrade any time with a prorated charge. Downgrades take effect at the next billing cycle.
Yes. Pay annually and get 2 months free — that’s a 16.7% discount, applied automatically at checkout.
The full Growth tier for 14 days. No credit card required. At the end of trial you pick a plan, and if you don’t choose one, the workspace goes read-only until you do. We don’t auto-charge you.
No. Setup is self-serve in an afternoon. If you want help, we’ll do a 30-minute call free of charge. We don’t have a €10,000 onboarding package because you don’t need one.
Talk to us about Enterprise. Usually €1,000-2,500/month depending on needs, with SSO, custom data residency, and a dedicated CSM. Still way cheaper than the enterprise alternatives.
EU-based Supabase infrastructure (Frankfurt). GDPR-compliant. Data never leaves the EU. We can provide a DPA on request.
Yes. Full CSV export of ideas, scores, reviews, and history, any time, self-serve. It’s your data.
EUR is primary. We also accept USD and GBP. Enterprise contracts can be quoted in other currencies.
How we compare

The alternatives, honestly.

vs. Brightidea / HYPE Innovation

Enterprise platforms. €15-30k setup, €15-50k/year license, 3-6 month implementation. Built for Fortune 500. Overkill for anyone under 1,000 employees. If you’re 50-500 people, you’re paying for features you’ll never use.

vs. Viima / Ideanote

Collection platforms. People submit ideas and others upvote. No weighted scoring, no AI review, no automatic decisions. Good for getting ideas in. Weak on what happens after.

vs. IdeaScale / Canny

Customer-facing feedback tools. Built for users suggesting product features, not employees suggesting company improvements. Different problem.

vs. Spreadsheets and email

The real competitor for most companies. Works for about 40 ideas a year before the tracking falls apart. Doesn’t scale past one person caring.

We've talked to customers who tried all of these before us. These summaries are our honest read, not hostile.

Stop guessing. Start deciding.
