Hedgehog Carbon Platform review
A practical starting point for Scope 1–3 accounting, with manual data collection.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Hedgehog Carbon Platform is web-based software for organizations measuring, reporting and reducing greenhouse-gas emissions. It is designed for SMEs and larger organizations handling customer requests, public tenders, sustainability certifications and climate-related reporting. The platform covers GHG Protocol-aligned Scope 1, 2 and 3 accounting, with tools for identifying emission sources, building inventories, analyzing uploaded data sheets and preparing reports. It also supports supplier-specific data, multiple entities and locations, and role-based collaboration for data owners, auditors and managers.
Pricing is structured around three plans. Free supports starting a first carbon footprint and includes an AI-powered onboarding guide. Pro costs €100 per month when billed annually and adds unlimited emission sources, GHG Protocol, PPN 006 and CO2-Prestatieladder reporting, AI-guide support, and the ability to add colleagues, auditors, suppliers and consultants. Expert costs €1,200 per month with monthly billing and adds a dedicated Hedgehog expert, roadmaps covering LCA, CSRD, SBTi and related programmes, plus software-supported consultancy. This makes the free and Pro tiers relevant for organizations building internal capability, while Expert is aimed at teams seeking structured external guidance.
The platform’s strongest fit is for organizations that need broad emissions coverage, factor flexibility and collaboration without starting with a paid subscription. It supports both spend-based and activity-based emission factors, organization- and supplier-specific data, and multi-entity management. Collection remains manual, and the product is web-only, so teams looking for connected data flows or a broader integration ecosystem should consider alternatives. Hedgehog is a sensible choice for small organizations beginning carbon accounting and for teams that value AI-guided setup; it is less suitable for buyers prioritizing automated collection or documented API capabilities.
