A Crowdicity / Medallia Ideas Alternative When You Want SME Pricing, Not a Crowdsourcing Suite

Crowdicity rebranded as Medallia Ideas. It remains a serious crowdsourcing and challenge platform, especially visible in UK public-sector procurement. If you are a 100–500 employee organisation looking for a simple employee idea scheme with a published price, here is an honest comparison as of October 2026.

What Crowdicity / Medallia Ideas is

Crowdicity built collaborative idea and challenge management — submission, voting, staged evaluation and gamification — and is now marketed as Medallia Ideas after Medallia's acquisition and rebrand. Buyers still search "Crowdicity"; procurement documents may use either name. The product is aimed at organisation-wide crowdsourcing, including employee and citizen engagement in the public sector, not a lightweight SME suggestion box alone.

Pricing signals, October 2026

Medallia does not publish a clear self-serve SME ladder for Ideas on the main marketing site. For UK buyers, the most concrete public figure is the Digital Marketplace G-Cloud listing:

  • Medallia Ideas CrowdSourcing for Government: £38,500 a licence a year (G-Cloud 14), education discount available, no free trial on that listing.

That figure is a public-sector framework price for a government crowdsourcing service — not a claim that every commercial customer pays exactly £38,500. Private-sector deals remain quote-led. Directory sites that show low monthly starting prices without a Medallia source should be treated as unverified.

How that compares with Harmoni

OptionPrice signal (Oct 2026)Best-fit buyer
Crowdicity / Medallia IdeasQuote-led commercially; UK G-Cloud example £38,500 / licence / yearLarge enterprises and public-sector crowdsourcing programmes
Harmoni£99–£1,199 / month by organisation size, all employees included100–500 employee organisations needing manager review + AI triage

If you are buying under G-Cloud for a multi-agency engagement programme, Medallia Ideas may be the right shortlist. If you are a mid-sized employer that needs employees to submit ideas and managers to answer them, a published SME product is usually the better starting point.

Who it is for, and who it is not for

It fits organisations (especially public sector) that want challenge-based crowdsourcing, staged evaluation and a vendor already present on UK government frameworks.

It is a harder fit for 100–500 person private companies that need monthly GBP pricing, a short trial, and a product centred on manager review rather than citizen-scale co-creation.

Harmoni pricing

Harmoni is priced by organisation size, not by seat. See the features page.

Common Questions

Yes. Crowdicity was rebranded as Medallia Ideas (announced around March 2023). Older search queries still use Crowdicity; the product sits in Medallia’s experience / ideas portfolio.

There is no useful self-serve SME price list on the public marketing site. A concrete UK public-sector signal is the G-Cloud listing for Medallia Ideas CrowdSourcing for Government at £38,500 a licence a year (G-Cloud 14, checked October 2026). Commercial deals outside that framework are quote-led.

Usually not as a like-for-like SME buy. It is sold into larger engagement and public-sector programmes. If your need is an internal suggestion scheme with manager review, a published SME ladder is the clearer comparison.

For Teams-native employee ideas, read the Sideways 6 and Microsoft Teams Employee Ideas pages. Use this Crowdicity page when the shortlist names Crowdicity or Medallia Ideas specifically.

No free tier. Harmoni offers a 14-day free trial with no credit card and full access, then flat monthly bands from £99 for up to 50 employees.
