HarmoniWhat IdeaScale is
IdeaScale (ideascale.com) helps organisations collect, discuss, vote on and progress ideas. It is commonly shortlisted for large programmes, public-sector innovation and university use cases. The product depth — communities, campaigns, reporting — matches that buyer, not a lightweight internal suggestion scheme for a single SME site.
What IdeaScale publishes about pricing
The official pricing page emphasises flexible, customised subscriptions. Plans are described in bands such as Enterprise, Government and Education, with advisors building a plan around features and scope. There is no self-serve calculator and no published per-seat or per-month list that a 150-person company can drop into a spreadsheet without a call.
