FAQs

What's the difference between Blink and Staffbase?

Staffbase is an enterprise internal communications platform built for large organisations with 1,000+ employees, dedicated comms teams, and complex rollout requirements — starting at $30,000/year.

If you've been quoted Staffbase and it felt like overkill, Blink is the answer.

Blink is built for frontline-heavy organisations of any size that need to reach every employee fast, without an IT project. If you've been quoted Staffbase and it felt like overkill, Blink is the answer.

We're using WhatsApp to communicate with staff. Why change?

WhatsApp gives you no audit trail, no data control, and no proof that your team received important communications. One compliance review or data subject request exposes the risk. Blink replaces informal group chats with a GDPR-compliant platform you own — with full policy sign-off tracking and exportable records.

Do my team members need a work email to use Blink?

No. Staff join via a QR code or personal phone number. No corporate email, no IT provisioning, no training sessions. Works on any smartphone. Most teams have 90% of their workforce active within 48 hours.

How long does it take to get set up compared to Staffbase?

Staffbase implementations typically take months and require a dedicated internal project team. Blink is live in a day. In your onboarding session we configure your branded app, set up your staff groups, and walk through your first update together — no IT department required.

How does Blink's pricing compare to Staffbase?

Staffbase starts at $30,000/year with a minimum of 1,000 employees — it's priced for enterprise. Blink offers transparent per-seat pricing with no lock-in and no minimum headcount. You can start a free 14-day trial today without speaking to a salesperson.
