Frequently asked questions
How is Speakap priced?
Speakap does not publish list prices. Cost depends on the plan(s) you choose (Basic, Premium or Premium+) and how many employees you license, and is quoted individually. Contracts are annual with a minimum one-year term; features can be added at any time and plans changed at renewal. Bundle discounts are available for customers with special integrations or needs.
How long does implementation take?
Speakap states that once a subscription contract is signed it can get you up and running in as little as 15 days. Higher tiers add rollout planning, project management, technical implementation support and content-strategy sessions for admins, which suits multi-site or multi-country rollouts.
What security and compliance certifications does Speakap claim?
The vendor's pricing page includes a Security & Compliance section claiming enterprise-grade security, ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type 2, GDPR and CCPA compliance, and HIPAA-compliant hosting with a BAA on request. Buyers in regulated sectors should verify current attestations and scope directly during procurement.
Which systems does Speakap integrate with?
The integrations page covers HR systems (joiner, mover and leaver sync), productivity tools such as Google Drive and SharePoint, e-learning/L&D content, employee scheduling, and forms and surveys, plus a REST API and Active Directory/SSO for single sign-on into other applications.
Do employees need a company email address to use Speakap?
No. Speakap is mobile-first and designed for deskless staff, with branded iOS and Android apps, push notifications, instant translation, private messaging and two-way communication. Employees can read updates, acknowledge them and respond without ever logging into a corporate mailbox.
