Pricing comparison:

Relesys does not provide transparent pricing on its website, instead requiring businesses to request a customized quote based on their specific needs. With no standard pricing structure and fixed feature bundles, companies must commit to predefined packages rather than selecting only the features they need, making cost estimation difficult. For more information, please visit Relesys pricing page.

Speakap pricing & packages are subscription-based pricing models billed per user, per month (annually). Contact the Speakap team today to request a personalized quote tailored to your organization’s specific needs.

Simone Meesters
Communications Officer bij Viggo

Ik zou Speakap zonder twijfel aanbevelen aan andere bedrijven – vooral aan groeiende bedrijven. Als je elkaar niet elke dag ziet, kan communicatie lastig worden. Naar mijn mening maakt Speakap het makkelijker en beter.

Jan-Willem Rozendal
Diagnosespecialist Audi bij De Waal Autogroep

We werkten vroeger met Yammer, maar dat was onvoldoende voor onze hele organisatie en niet gebruiksvriendelijk.

Eline Hamelijnck
Marketing Manager bij Lead Healthcare

Speakap is voor ons een tool om alle medewerkers te kunnen bereiken en hen beter te informeren over producten, om met hen in interactie te treden en om hen ambassadeurs te maken.

Anneleen Van Troos
Manager bedrijfscommunicatie bij Kinepolis

Ik zou Speakap zeker aanbevelen aan andere bedrijven, omdat het een modern digitaal platform is, dat heel gebruiksvriendelijk is gezien het erg lijkt op Facebook, dat gebruikt wordt door bijna iedereen, zeker op de baan of in het magazijn.

Emilie Frans
Marketing Coordinator bij LKQ

Since the app AGM Connect was implemented, our internal communication has transformed. We have transitioned from traditional bulletin boards to a digital platform.

Cynthia Drumond
Senior Graphic Designer & Marketing Communications at AGM Container Controls

Een van de grootste verbeteringen die we hebben gezien, is de snelheid waarmee we belangrijke updates aan ons hele team kunnen doorgeven. Bijvoorbeeld wanneer we op het laatste moment wijzigingen ontvangen in het evenementenprogramma of speciale gastverzoeken. We kunnen via Speakap snel de relevante teams informeren.

Janneke Veldhoen
Human Resource Manager bij Hotel Okura Amsterdam

We kozen voor Speakap omdat het structuur brengt in hoe we met elkaar willen communiceren en de communicatiekloof tussen kantoor-, project- en servicemedewerkers overbrugt.

Huib van Kuilenburg
BAM Bouw en Techniek

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.
