Frequently asked questions
How much does Simpplr cost?
Simpplr does not publish list pricing. It quotes a volume-based annual subscription tailored to organization size, complexity and level of ongoing support. The subscription includes technical support, Customer Success oversight, training, four releases a year and global support. Volume discounts apply to organizations with 500 or more employees, and 14-day trials are offered subject to availability.
How long does it take to get Simpplr live?
Simpplr offers Smart Start training plus rapid implementation and migration services. Customers report migrations completed in under 30 days - one published case study describes moving from Jive to Simpplr in under 30 days - though timelines depend on organization size, content volume and integration complexity. A full enterprise rollout generally takes longer than a migration.
What does Simpplr integrate with?
The integrations page lists Google Workspace and the Microsoft suite, HR and people-data systems, single sign-on, video, business intelligence and social advocacy tools, using pre-built, low-code and no-code connectors. Developers get versioned APIs with access control and rate limiting through the Extensibility Center, plus an app tile builder for custom dashboards.
What security and compliance certifications does Simpplr hold?
Simpplr states ISO 27001:2022 certification, an annual SOC 2 Type 2 audit with reports available under NDA, and a SOC 3 report. It participates in the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, states GDPR compliance, and complies with HIPAA with a BAA available. It is hosted on Salesforce and AWS in US and EU regions. No FedRAMP or ISO 42001 authorization is claimed.
Does Simpplr use AI, and which models does it run on?
Simpplr markets AI-powered enterprise search with answer generation and knowledge insights, plus agents for work orchestration across business systems - AI added to an intranet platform rather than an AI-native product. No Simpplr page names the underlying model providers, states a bring-your-own-key option, or explains how AI usage is logged, so those points need direct confirmation from the vendor.
