Where they pull apart

Axero

Stands out: Flat published Axero Go prices plus a per-user band for Premium, with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Slack, Teams, and ServiceNow named, which is rare in a quote-led intranet market.

Watch out: Only Essentials has a self-serve trial (7 days); Growth and above start with a demo. Premium and Enterprise are quoted per user. Recognition is a module, not the whole product.

Not the right fit for

  • Global enterprises standardised on Unily or LumApps
  • Teams over 100 people that want a self-serve trial
  • Companies that only need Slack

Blink

Stands out: A public frontline-app price, with Workday, ServiceNow, Okta, and Google Workspace named, instead of an enterprise intranet quote.

Watch out: Core is the news-and-chat rung. Pro is $5.00/user/mo. Enterprise is custom. This is not a full intranet CMS.

Not the right fit for

  • Knowledge-worker companies that already live in Slack
  • Enterprises that need a full intranet CMS
  • Buyers who want a free plan
