HarmoniWhat Hives is
Hives (hives.co) is a Swedish, EU-hosted idea management platform. It frames the product around collecting, organising and acting on employee ideas and related feedback, with workflows, SSO and contributor caps by plan. Public marketing also pushes UK-relevant topics such as employee suggestion schemes and manufacturing continuous improvement, which overlaps the queries Harmoni targets.
Hives pricing, as listed October 2026

- Pro: from €1,495 a month billed annually — up to 10,000 contributors, 10 managers, AI credits, custom branding.

How the maths compares at Harmoni's ICP sizes
Both products avoid classic per-seat metering. The practical difference for a 100–500 person UK organisation is entry price, currency, billing, and how "everyone included" is defined.
| Organisation size | Hives, as listed Oct 2026 | Harmoni |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 50 people | Core is sized for larger contributor pools; entry is still €695 / month annual | £99 / month (Starter, up to 50 employees) |
| 51–150 people | Core (€695 / month annual) if under 500 contributors and 2 managers is enough | £249 / month, all employees included |
| 151–400 people | Still Core on contributor count; manager seats may push a sales conversation | £399 / month, all employees included |
| ~500 people | Top of Core contributor band, or Pro if you need more managers / AI credits | £699 / month (401–1,000 band), all employees included |
If you already need enterprise engagement features, multiple programmes ("hives"), or a dedicated success manager, Hives's published Pro/Enterprise ladder may be the cleaner fit. If you want a smaller UK SME price point with monthly billing and every employee in the band, Harmoni is built for that wedge.
Suggestion-scheme content versus product fit
Hives publishes strong educational content on suggestion schemes and continuous improvement. That content quality does not automatically mean the product is the right size for a 150-person manufacturer or professional-services firm. Buyers should separate "useful guide" from "right commercial and workflow fit" and trial both stacks against a real review workflow.
Who Hives is for, and who it is not for
It fits mid to large organisations that want published flat pricing, EU hosting, SSO on every plan, and a suite aimed at broad engagement programmes — especially if Core's €695 annual entry is acceptable and two managers is enough to start.
It is a harder fit if you are a 100–500 employee UK organisation that wants a lower GBP entry point, monthly billing without an annual lock-in assumption, or a product shaped around manager review plus AI triage rather than a larger suggestion-scheme suite.
Harmoni pricing
Harmoni is priced by organisation size, not by seat. Everyone gets access, which is the point: suggestion schemes only work when the whole workforce can take part. Product detail is on the features page.
