Why people look past Happeo

No public dollar price. Developer APIs and custom widgets sit on Enterprise. Knowledge Engine is an add-on.

What we noted

  • Quote-only; no public dollar price
  • APIs and custom widgets are Enterprise
  • Knowledge Engine is a paid add-on

Not the right fit for

  • Buyers who need a published per-user checkout
  • Teams that want time clocks or payroll in the same app

Worth keeping in mind: MCP and AI search are included on every package, not sold as a separate SKU.

What each one does differently

MangoApps

$40/user/mo 14 day free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Intranet plus WFM if you also need shifts and a published specialist price.

Stands out: Published per-specialist prices with a 14-day no-card trial, and everyone outside the specialist team uses the platform free.

Watch out: Company-wide suites need 200 employees and a proposal. Specialist plans bill a 10-seat minimum even if you buy fewer.

Best for

  • Retail and field orgs that need intranet plus shifts
  • IT or EHS teams buying a specialist suite for 10+ seats
  • HR ops connecting Workday, UKG, or ADP rosters

Simpplr

Sales-quoted 14 day free trial API

Why it comes up: Employee intranet if Salesforce is already the system of record.

Stands out: Intranet plus enterprise search and an EX agent, aimed at companies whose SharePoint is a junk drawer.

Watch out: Quote-only. A 14-day trial is advertised; you are still buying an intranet program, not a $10/user app.

Best for

  • Enterprises replacing legacy intranet
  • IT and IC teams that want governed AI search
  • Companies on Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace

Unily

Sales-quoted

Why it comes up: Enterprise intranet if you need a larger digital-workplace suite.

Stands out: Personalised intranet and app with an AI assistant and Microsoft 365 gravity, aimed at large workforces rather than a 50-person wiki.

Watch out: Quote-only. The vendor pricing page states there is no free trial and no self-serve checkout.

Best for

  • Large enterprises with desk and frontline populations
  • Microsoft 365-standardised companies
  • Internal comms and intranet teams running campaigns and journeys

4.6 on Capterra from 23 reviews

Firstup

Sales-quoted

Why it comes up: Internal comms if targeted distribution matters more than a knowledge hub.

Stands out: Orchestration of comms across channels, not another intranet CMS. Workday and ServiceNow sit on the integrations story.

Watch out: Quote-only enterprise comms. A 50-person company does not need Firstup.

Best for

  • Enterprise internal comms teams
  • Companies that must reach desk, email, and frontline in one campaign
  • Workday or ServiceNow customers
