Bubble view Viima's uniquely visual and fun bubble view helps ideators get their creative juices flowing, and supports in creating a culture of innovation. | |||
List view Our list view is a great way to sort through and manage a large number of ideas & information quickly. | |||
Kanban view Viima also offers a card-based Kanban view, which is very good for quickly getting an overview of the process, as well as for use cases such as continuous improvement, project management, and idea implementation. | |||
Collecting, liking & commenting ideas All of our plans have the basics covered! | |||
Mobile app Viima has a dedicated mobile version that makes it effortless to participate while on the go. It's available as native iOS and Android apps, as well as directly via web browsers. | |||
Visual ranking of ideas Viima makes it easy to identify interesting ideas with our unique visualization engine. | |||

Multi-language support Viima is currently available in 8 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Finnish, Swedish & Norwegian with more to come soon! | |||

Apply to be responsible for an idea Viima makes it effortless for you to run the process of choosing people to work on specific ideas. | |||
Move & copy ideas between boards Often great ideas come from outside the team where they get implemented. When that happens, Viima has you covered. You can easily move or copy ideas between your different Viima boards. | |||
Idea responsible role A shared responsibility often means no responsibility. That's why Viima lets you assign ideas to specific users. | |||
Idea evaluation Viima's flexible evaluation engine allows you to build an evaluation process with your own metrics, providing you with a great tool for prioritizing ideas and identifying the best ones. | |||
Multiple innovation processes Different kinds of innovations require different approaches, and all the best innovators know this. Viima supports an unlimited number of fully customizable ideation and innovation processes with our unique board based approach. | |||
Attach files, videos and photos Often plain words might not be the best way to communicate an idea. That's why Viima lets you attach all kinds of files, including photos and videos, to ideas. | |||
In-app communication Viima includes tools, such as our message banner feature, that allows admins to effectively communicate with users. | |||
Customisable access rights & permissions. Viima has highly flexible tools for managing access rights and permissions for each board separately. That way you can securely engage just the right people in ideation. | |||
Sharing ideas You can easily share ideas via email, or to social media & internal communications platforms such as Microsoft Teams and Yammer. | |||
Gamification & leaderboards Who wouldn't want to be known as the best ideator in their company? Our gamification engine allows you to create your own rules for scoring people's activity. Leaderboards allow you to communicate these scores to users to increase engagement. |
PRO features | |||
---|---|---|---|
Custom fields Depending your processes, you may want to collect different kinds of data. With Viima's custom fields, it's easy. You can create your own fully configurable input fields for the ideas, both on a per board, and a per status or category basis for maximum flexibility. Dropdowns, text, numbers, checkboxes, you name it and we've got it. | - | ||

Frequently Asked Questions
A HYPE board is the “canvas” where all collaboration happens. An organization may have just one board to gather, store and develop ideas around a specific process or use multiple HYPE boards to manage and organize more versatile activities, project and processes.
When you sign up for HYPE Boards, you will automatically start with a 14-day free trial of our Pro plan so that you can experience the full power of the platform for yourself.
Once your trial expires, you will automatically be downgraded and Pro features will be disabled from your boards. This way, you don't need to input your credit card at any point during the process if you don't want to upgrade.
If you've exceeded the limits of the Free plan during your trial, your plan will be temporarily locked and you will need to remove enough data (boards or users) to get you back within the limits of the Free plan, or alternatively, upgrade to one of our paid plans.
If you have less than 10 users and just want to get started you can use HYPE Boards for free, with limited functionalities.
However, if you want to engage more than 10 people, you need to get more ideas, or you need more fine-grained control over the ideation or innovation process, you should look at the Basic or Pro plans, depending on your needs. For example our evaluation feature is extremely useful for prioritizing ideas, and the support for multiple boards makes HYPE Boards incredibly flexible. Thus, if you are a small or medium organization and are planning to take innovation seriously, you want to take a look at our Basic and Pro plans. With them, you have access to more powerful features and also get flexibility to purchase only the number of user licenses you actually need.
For larger organizations, that want to engage more than 1000 users, the Enterprise plan is likely to be a better fit. As the number of user licenses rises, customers obviously want predictable fixed-term pricing. If you want to run large-scale innovation projects, find the right partners to take innovation to the next level and get all the support you need to succeed, then you should look into the HYPE Suite offering.
For more information, please contact us.
Our plans are primarily charged via credit card with all major card brands being supported.
For larger purchases in our Pro plan, it is also possible to use other forms of payment, such as via invoice.
We do understand than in many large organizations, 14 days can seem like a very short time.
However, we've found that such deadlines can often be very helpful for getting even the biggest organizations to move quickly, which again is key to helping you succeed in making more innovation happen.
So, our advice is to prepare to make the most out of the situation and thus to use that 14-day deadline to your advantage!
However, if there is a specific situation where this isn't feasible, we may be able to make an exception for you. Please contact us and we'll do our best to help you.
We want everyone to be able to experience the full benefits of HYPE Boards. That's why we're providing everyone with a free trial of our Pro plan. Once that ends, you can still use HYPE Boards' free functionalities that usually can get you started in your innovation journey. As your innovation needs will evolve you will realize what a big difference the right tool can make.
Our mission is to empower organization innovate everything, everywhere
The way we see it, innovation is one of, if not the, best ways to make meaningful progress for our society.
Historically, organizations that have succeeded in innovation are actually quite few and far between, and we want to help change that by democratizing the tools and the knowledge needed to help thousands of new organizations succeed in it.
We do take that mission seriously and are continuously looking for ways to further that goal. Providing great software for free is naturally a good way to do just that.
In the long run, our approach has proven to work well. Maybe there is such a thing as karma after all?
This is quite a common situation for many organizations but there's no need to worry, we've got you covered.
For short one-off needs, you can buy our Basic Monthly plan, which starts at $79/month directly from within the app. As you're on a monthly contract, no long term commitments are necessary, and you have the flexility to purchase additional licenses only when you need those.
The downside is that the Monthly plan is a bit more expensive per user than our annual plans. So if you're like most of our customers, when you start using HYPE Boards, you'll be constantly surprised about all the situations where it can help you drive a lot more value than you might have initially thought. In this case, you'll probably want to upgrade to an annual plan to keep your costs down.
If, for some reason, you have very specific needs (e.g. short large scale campaign) and don't want an annual contract, we do offer plans for such situations too. For more information, please contact us.
Our paid plans are generally speaking annual and billed in advance.
Basic and Pro plans include a fixed number of user licenses in the base fee for the plan. If you exceed that figure, additional licenses will be purchased for each unique active user in your organization according to the terms of your plan. Each user account that is active on at least one of the boards in your organization counts as an active user.
Our Basic plan is also available on a monthly basis. It works exactly the same way as the annual plan, just with a monthly contract and slightly higher price per user.
To avoid exceeding your user limits, you can simply deactivate the users you no longer wish to have access to the system. Please note that the users must be removed from all boards managed by your organization before they release the user license.
