The problem

Today your announcement reaches all of the office and half of everyone else.

Work email covers whoever has a computer. The rest find out from the cork noticeboard by the entrance, from a WhatsApp group the supervisor set up, or they don't find out at all.

The employee app

The same screen on the operator's phone and on the director's laptop

An app for employees without a computer, and there's nothing to install: it opens in the phone's browser. No company accounts that everyone forgets, and no touchscreens to buy before the tool is any use.

01

A noticeboard people actually use

Announcements with photos, video, PDFs, surveys and events. With comments and replies, because one-way communication stops being read by the third week.

  • Communities by site and branch
  • Who each announcement reaches, chosen as you post
  • Comments with replies, emoji and GIFs

02

Real reach, not impressions

How many people actually opened each announcement, and which department is being left out. Sorted from lowest reach upwards, so what isn't landing comes first.

  • A read is logged when the post is on screen
  • Breakdown by department
  • Monthly cost worked out on your active headcount

03

Who posts and who approves

Staff propose and a manager reviews. There's a record of who approved what and when, which is what any internal audit asks for.

  • Four roles with different reach
  • Review queue with a reason for rejection
  • Audit log of everything sensitive

We posted the shift change at eight and by midday we knew 84% of the plant had read it. Before that, the question had no answer.

Getting started

Up and running in an afternoon

No rollout project, nothing to integrate with your HR system and no training for the workforce.

  1. 1

    You create the account

    You register the company, upload your logo and pick your brand colour. Five minutes.

  2. 2

    You hand out the code

    A joining code is generated and goes up on the physical noticeboard, or the supervisor reads it out at the shift change.

  3. 3

    You post and you measure

    The first announcement goes out today and tomorrow you have the read rate by department.

Pricing

€1 a month, and the rest in cents

You pay for the people who use it. Two things are in the base fee: the noticeboard with its review queue, and the directory. Everything else is ten modules you switch on and off from inside the tool, at one to ten cents per person; with all ten on it's €1.28 per employee per month. And if you pay for the year up front, you get twelve months for the price of ten. No setup fee, no minimum term and no hardware to buy.

Security

Where your data is and who can see it

Servers in Europe

Nothing leaves Europe. No transfers to the United States and no third parties analysing your content.

Every company, walled off

The isolation is checked on every database query, not just on screen.

Passwords we don't keep

We store a scrypt derivation, never the password. Sessions are stored encrypted.

Anonymity that holds up

In an anonymous survey the link between answer and person is never stored. Not even an administrator can rebuild it.

Frequently asked questions

What we get asked every time

If a committee has to approve this, the questions are different ones, and they are all answered separately.

What's in the base fee and what costs extra?

€1 per person per month covers two things: the noticeboard with its review queue, and the directory. On top of that there are ten modules you switch on: chat (€0.10), communities and sections (€0.04), documents with read receipts (€0.03), events (€0.02), surveys (€0.02), reach analytics (€0.02), corporate identity with single sign-on (€0.02), channels (€0.01), recognition (€0.01), and access and activity logs (€0.01). With all ten on it's €1.28 per person per month. You turn them on and off from inside the tool whenever you like. The base fee came down from €1.50 to €1 when communities and events moved out of it: anyone who wants everything now pays €1.28 where they used to pay €2.25, and anyone who only wants communities pays €1.04.

What does it cost for a workforce of 500?

€500 a month excluding VAT: 500 people at €1. With the ten modules switched on it would be €1.28 per person, so €640 a month. Billing is on the people active in each month, so anyone who leaves stops counting. The price per person is the same for 30 as for 3,000: no tiers and no hidden charges.

Is it cheaper to pay for the year up front?

Yes: the annual cycle is twelve months for the price of ten. Those 500 people pay €6,000 a year month by month, or €5,000 paying for the year up front; with the ten modules, €7,680 month by month or €6,400 up front. It isn't a promotion or a launch offer: it's the price of the cycle, and the two months are what the company saves by paying in one go. The monthly cycle still exists and still has no minimum term.

What happens when the 15 days are up?

Nothing automatic: we don't ask for a card to start, so nothing gets charged by itself. If you want to carry on, you move to the €1 per employee per month plan plus the modules you switch on, and there you choose between paying month by month or the year up front. If not, the account closes and the data is deleted.

What if we switch a module on or off halfway through the year?

It's pro-rated by the day and settled on the next invoice. If you switch chat on in March with the year already paid, you're charged for the part of the cycle that's left, counted in days. If you drop a module, the unused part becomes a credit against the next invoice: no money is refunded. Same with headcount: if new people join you're charged for the rest of the year, and if headcount falls there's no credit, it's adjusted at renewal.

Is there a minimum term or a minimum number of employees?

Neither one nor the other. There's no minimum term, no minimum monthly fee and no minimum number of people: a company of 30 employees pays €30 a month and gets exactly what one of 3,000 gets. The annual cycle is an option, not a requirement. That's the difference with tools that ask for a monthly minimum, where a small shop ends up paying almost the same as one with a hundred people.

What about the people with no work email?

That is exactly why Blastack exists. You generate a joining code, the person enters it on their own phone and the account is created with their personal email. They don't need a company account, and nobody in IT has to set them up.

Does anyone have to install an app?

No. It runs in the phone's browser and can be added to the home screen like any app. There's nothing to install on your computers either.

Does it work without wifi inside the warehouse?

No. It opens in the browser, so you need mobile data or wifi wherever it's being read. In a dead spot there's nothing to read until the signal comes back, and there's no offline mode either. In practice people deal with it by looking in the changing room or before going onto the line, but it's better to know that beforehand than afterwards.

Does it integrate with our HR system?

For joiners and leavers, yes. The corporate identity module speaks SCIM 2.0, so when somebody is taken on or taken off in your HR system, the Blastack account is created or deactivated on its own. It costs two cents per person per month. What there isn't is the rest: no import from an Excel or a CSV file, no payslips and no shifts. And people can still join with invitation codes that carry the department and the site inside them, which is what you use for the part of the workforce that has no account in your directory at all.

Can we put our own branding on it?

Yes. You upload your logo and choose your brand colour, and they replace ours across the whole platform. Each person can also pick their own interface colour.

What languages is it in?

The interface is in twelve languages: English, Spanish, Catalan, Portuguese, French, Italian, German, Swedish, Dutch, Polish, Romanian and Czech, and each person picks their own and sees the whole app in it. Posts can be written in those same twelve, and everyone reads the version in their own language. What we do not do is machine-translate what you publish: whoever publishes writes each version by hand. If your workforce reads three languages, somebody has to write three versions, because the tool will not produce them for you.

Does this work if we aren't a company: a federation, a co-operative, a charity?

Yes, and there's a page of its own for each case. Structurally it's the same thing —one organisation, several houses, the people in each house— but two things change that matter. The first is the wording: you pick it when you set the account up, and the tool starts saying members, professionals or volunteers instead of employees, and stations, branches or sections instead of sites. The second is who runs what: each member organisation can have its own administrator, who signs up their own people and publishes for them without seeing anybody else's. What doesn't change is the invoice: there's one, in the name of whoever signs, and it's charged per person on the roll whether or not they're on your payroll.

Does it work as an alternative to Meta's Workplace?

For communicating with the workforce, yes: noticeboard, communities, comments, surveys, documents and directory. For the rest, mostly no. Workplace shut down for good on 31 May 2026 and we have no importer for anything you took away with you, no integrations, no machine translation and no live video. Single sign-on with your directory is the one thing on that list we do have, over OpenID Connect. There's a whole page setting out what you lose by coming here.

Try it on one site and look at the number

Pick one plant or one branch, hand out the code and publish two announcements. In fifteen days you'll have the percentage of people who read them. That is exactly what you don't have today.

No card and no commitment.
