Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
HYPE Boards gives organizations a cloud-hosted workspace for collecting, discussing and evaluating ideas across teams. Contributors can submit ideas, like and comment on them, while configurable metrics support review and prioritization. Customizable processes and board templates suit teams running idea campaigns with different workflows. Web access and iOS and Android apps also let contributors capture and discuss ideas away from a desktop.
The product’s board tools cover several stages of an idea campaign: bubble, list and Kanban views organize submissions, and categories, filters, sorting and attachments help teams handle them. Photos and videos can accompany ideas, while evaluation metrics support structured review. A free plan and a 14-day trial provide ways to assess the product before a paid commitment. Basic costs $79 per month with annual billing and includes 2 boards, 10 users, idea evaluations, gamification and single sign-on. Basic Monthly is also listed at $79 per month. Pro costs $499 per month with annual billing and adds custom fields, appearance and notification customization, workflow automations, and Jira and Microsoft Teams integrations. Advanced includes unlimited boards and automations, advanced user roles, a REST API and a dedicated customer success manager; its price is by contact.
HYPE Boards fits teams that want a structured place to collect and prioritize ideas, especially when mobile submission and customizable workflows matter. Microsoft Teams and Microsoft Viva Engage integrations, Jira, SSO providers and an API support connections to other tools; SharePoint is available through a plugin upon request. Its cloud and mobile deployment, email and phone support, documentation, and stated ISO 27001 and GDPR compliance provide relevant operational context. Small teams may find Basic’s board and user limits restrictive, while teams needing workflow automation or Jira and Teams integrations must consider Pro. Organizations seeking portfolio oversight beyond idea campaigns may prefer a broader innovation-management product.
