Pricing comparison:

While the LOLYO Plus plan claims to be more affordable for larger teams, setup fees, add-ons, and usage-based pricing make it difficult to predict the actual cost upfront.

And we’ve got the 5-star reviews and detailed success stories to prove it.
We hadden nood aan een oplossing die betrouwbaar, overzichtelijk én meertalig was — en die werkte op de bouwplaatsen, niet enkel op kantoor.
Britt Goossens
Planning & HR Support bij Tifre
Van een mondelinge communicatiecascade en affiches in de werfketen gingen we naar Speakap voor alle updates, nieuws, events en nuttige rubrieken om iedereen app-to-date te houden. Al 52.000 sessies en 5.700 contactmomenten in de eerste 9 maanden!
Astrid Van Steenkiste
Communicatieverantwoordelijke bij Square Group
We wilden echt één digitale oplossing die ons hele personeelsbestand informeert, verbindt en betrekt, en zo een sterke cultuur creëert. En daarom hebben we voor Speakap gekozen.
Simone van de Kar
nternal Communication & Event Specialist bij Center Parcs
Collega’s in het magazijn waren moeilijk bereikbaar — vooral voor boodschappen vanuit het management. En hun mening verzamelen was al helemaal een uitdaging. Met Speakap hebben we de geschikte oplossing.
Soetkin Bockstal
Communicatiemanager bij Scania Parts Logistics
We merkten dat we onze chauffeurs niet altijd konden bereiken. De meesten zijn onderweg, dus een poster in de kantine werkt niet. Ook voor HR en communicatie was het een hele klus: telkens dezelfde boodschap in drie talen en via verschillende kanalen. Dat kostte echt veel tijd. We besparen nu makkelijk drie kwartier per post. En als je dat drie keer per week doet, dan tikt dat echt aan.
Ruben Beckers
ICT-manager bij Group-GTS
Voor mij blinkt Speakap uit in hoe toegankelijk het is. Als je weet hoe je Facebook moet gebruiken, wat bijna iedereen kan, kun je Speakap gebruiken. Omdat het zo makkelijk is vinden mijn team en ik het leuk om er actief op te zijn en spreken we onze collega's in andere locaties veel vaker.
Hans van der Ploeg
Team Leader Sales Support bij Van Geloven (Mora & meer)
De app is het digitale hart van de organisatie - een essentieel platform dat samenwerking, verbondenheid en werkgeluk versterkt — vandaag én in de toekomst.

Algemeen directrice bij wzc Aalmoezenier Cuypers

Geert Polfliet
Voormalig directeur bij Conecto (nu Avida)
We wilden iets dat natuurlijk aanvoelde voor onze frontline teams. Makkelijk, mobiel, en écht nuttig. Geen extra top-down kanaal. Daarom kozen we voor Speakap.
Kathy van der Wijden
Communications Coordinator bij Shell
Speakap helpt ons om verbonden te blijven met onze medewerkers. Zij zijn degenen die in direct contact staan met de klanten en zij helpen ons te reageren op kansen die zich voordoen. Dit houdt ons wendbaar, wat natuurlijk essentieel is in Retail.
Sanne Oosterhoff
Group Operations Director bij Hans Anders (part of Nexeye)
We hebben meerdere platformen vergeleken in een pitchtraject. Ik kende Speakap al van eerdere werkgevers. Uiteindelijk kozen we opnieuw voor Speakap vanwege de functionaliteiten én de expertise van het team.
Davy Vandenreyt
Marketing Projectmanager bij A&M Groep
Speakap gaf ons niet alleen een communicatiemiddel, het bracht structuur. Ineens konden we elke winkel, elk team direct bereiken — zonder omwegen. Hier begint onze werkdag, hier landen de updates, hier vindt echte betrokkenheid plaats.
Monique Muller
Hoofd Interne Communicatie bij SPAR
We gebruiken de app voor alles: cijfers, productwijzigingen, personeelsinfo, en ook om successen te vieren. De app is niet alleen informatief, maar ook verbindend. We hebben écht meer contact tussen de vestigingen.

Solíamos tardar una semana en recopilar información de las estaciones de servicio, formatearla en boletines informativos y distribuirla. Puede imaginarse lo difícil que era mantener estos boletines actualizados. ¡Speakap ha cambiado esta situación!
