About

Jostleโ€™s employee success platform is where everyone connects, communicates, and celebrates at work. Itโ€™s the heartbeat of our own company and has helped employees in over 1,000 organizations easily belong and contribute, anywhere, anytime. With industry-leading participation rates, weโ€™re putting the joy into work and the life into organizations. Everyone wants to accomplish things at work. To feel the joy that comes from belonging to a vibrant culture and knowing that your contributions matter. Yet lots of employees never get to experience that joy. Time and time again, frustrations and disconnects block them from being successful. Thatโ€™s not something the Jostlers were prepared to put up with. Weโ€™ve seen the impact that helping people feel successful brings. How it helps people want to stick around and contribute even more. So we created a platform that helps organizations make each and every employee successful.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • See below.
  • We completed their 14 day free trial. We liked many aspects of the offering and felt it offered a lot of customization to meet our needs and it was our intention to sign up for their service.
  • Crowdstack is a very easy to use platform. It provides great support to engage with customers and give you a manageable service to track their needs.

Cons

  • See overall.
  • Their pricing model is way too rigid. The Foundation plan for $399/mo offered nearly everything we were looking for. The only problem was that they use a lot of strange terms on their pages...fortunately, they offer a "custom wording" feature that allows you to change some of those words. Unfortunately, that was the only feature we required from the Complete plan, for which our custom pricing was offered at $999/mo. We didn't require any of the other features included with the Complete plan and couldn't justify $600/mo more for that plan just for the custom wording feature. We gave them several chances to offer a more reasonable pricing solution and win our business. Instead, they remained inflexible. Trust me, when a company that is trying to secure long-term subscriptions is this inflexible at the beginning, you don't want to work with them. Imagine months down the road when you have thousands of users and find out you need something from Crowdstack...how inflexible do you think they're going to be then? My recommendation is to find a more flexible community building solution, like Tribe or the many other community building solutions now available.
  • Overall its an outstanding platform customer engagement tool.
