HarmoniWhat Brightidea is
Brightidea (brightidea.com) is a US enterprise innovation platform covering always-on idea capture, crowdsourcing programmes, labs, open innovation ecosystems and transformation programmes. Public product naming includes Idea Box, Program, Lab, Ecosystem and Transformation modules. It is aimed at organisations running continuous, company-wide innovation — not a lightweight suggestion box for a single site.
What Brightidea publishes about pricing: nothing
There is no self-serve price list on the vendor site as of October 2026. Evaluation starts with a demo or sales conversation, and scope (modules, participants, support) sets the contract. Aggregator sites sometimes invent flat monthly or per-user figures; those conflict with each other and are not a list price. Do not put them in a business case.
That opacity is normal for this enterprise band — the same pattern as Qmarkets and IdeaScale. It still means a 100-person company cannot spreadsheet Brightidea without booking a call first.

Who Brightidea is for
- Large enterprises running multi-module innovation programmes across business units.
- Buyers who need crowdsourcing challenges, lab incubation and ecosystem / open innovation workflows.
- Programmes with a named owner whose job is innovation, and a procurement process that expects a sales cycle.
Who it is not for
- Companies of 50 to 400 people with no innovation manager.
- Buyers who want to see a price before a call, or to be live this month rather than this quarter.
- Teams whose real problem is unanswered employee suggestions — that is a process and review-queue problem, not a transformation-suite purchase.
What a smaller company usually needs
- Anyone can submit from a phone in under two minutes.
- Every idea gets a first response.
- The submitter can see status without chasing.
- Managers have one queue.
- Recognition is visible so participation does not fade.
- Finance can approve a published monthly line item.
Harmoni is built around that list. Detail is on the features page.
