How we evaluated Jostle
This review rests on the 16 facts this page shows, each checked against the source listed under “Sources”, most recently on . We did not test the product hands-on: the score uses only those verified facts, as our methodology explains; third-party ratings, where we quote them, never count in the score.
Our verdict
Jostle is an employee intranet and communications platform from Vancouver that replaces department sites with one place for news, discussions, recognition, a people directory and a document library. It is one of the few in its category with public prices: four plans per user a month, prepaid yearly, from $7.50 at 10 people down to $1.46 at 2,000 on the entry plan, with a free trial.
Strengths
Public, volume-based pricing
Four plans with published per-user prices that fall as headcount grows, no setup fees and onboarding included.
Evidence
Implementation fee: None; onboarding and full support are included in every plan2
Everything included in integrations
Every plan includes all integrations, single sign-on and provisioning, APIs and SFTP sync.
Evidence
Notable integrations: Google Workspace, Office 365, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Zapier, Bonusly, Okta, ADP Workforce Now, Workday, UKG Pro (UltiPro)2
Directory and library
A visual people directory synced from Active Directory, Google, Azure AD, Okta or the HRIS, plus a curated library for policies and manuals.
Evidence: Directory and org chart: Yes4
Audited and hosted in your region
An annual SOC 2 Type II audit, and hosting in the US, Europe, Australia or Canada.
Evidence: SOC 2 Type II: Yes3
Weaknesses
Per-user price rises for small teams
The entry plan costs $7.50 per user a month at 10 people against $2.77 at 500, so very small teams pay more per head.
Lighter campaign tooling
No read receipts, message scheduling or SMS alerts are published, so it is less suited to frontline crisis communications.
Evidence
Modules: News, Activity feed, Discussions, Employee recognition, People directory, Library, Events, Tasks, Listings, Teams (org charts), JostleTV2
