Nosco review
An affordable, AI-assisted workflow for collecting, evaluating, and advancing ideas.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Nosco is a web-based innovation management platform for mid-market and enterprise organisations. It supports idea campaigns, innovation challenges, R&D pipelines, product development, digital transformation, and continuous improvement. Teams can collect ideas through configurable forms, involve internal or external contributors, move submissions through multi-stage workflows, apply evaluation criteria and scoring models, and monitor activity through dashboards and portfolio views. Its AI-assisted submission and coaching features are aimed at improving idea refinement and discovery.
Pricing is structured around a 90-day Trial, Pro, Business, and Enterprise tiers. The Trial provides full functionality for up to 10 users for 90 days. Pro starts at €5 per user per month when billed monthly and adds company branding, unlimited channels, unlimited admins, unlimited ideas, dashboards, and XLSX exports. Business adds a custom domain, Azure AD/SCIM, Power BI, and Power Automate integrations. Enterprise uses a custom contract and activity-based pricing. This makes the entry tier accessible for teams that want to evaluate the complete workflow before committing, while larger deployments are shaped around Microsoft integrations and tailored commercial terms.
The standout capability is the connected workflow from submission through evaluation and portfolio oversight. Configurable forms, custom fields, duplicate detection, scoring, heatmaps, stage-based automation, assignments, and notifications give teams a structured way to manage ideas beyond simple collection. Microsoft Entra ID, Teams, SharePoint, Power BI, Power Automate, MCP-compatible AI tools, and the REST API support a broader ecosystem fit. Nosco suits organisations that need governed pipelines and AI assistance rather than a lightweight suggestion box. Teams looking specifically for a no-cost permanent plan or an explicitly documented voting system should consider alternatives.
