Why teams choose Jostle over Simpplr
Launch in days, not quarters
Jostle’s views are ready out of the box. There’s no architecture to design, pages to build, or complex governance framework to configure.
Simpplr’s design means organizations often spend significant time configuring AI rules, governance, and workflows before rollout.
85%+ employee participation
Jostle’s median employee participation rate across its entire customer base exceeds 85%. The industry average hovers below 40%, and many traditional intranets see adoption under 10%.
Jostle achieves this by creating reliable destinations employees visit often. Content is targeted so employees see what’s relevant.
Simple for everyone
Jostle is designed for non-technical comms teams and HR leaders. Everything happens through intuitive workflows that don’t require training or technical skills.
Simpplr’s expanding feature set introduces complexity that exceeds what mid-market organizations need or have capacity to manage.
A people-first platform
Jostle is structured around people, connection, and contribution. The built-in People directory and Teams view make it easy for employees to find and connect with colleagues across the organization.
Simpplr’s AI-powered platform centers on content delivery, search, and workflow automation rather than fostering connections that build culture.

Jostle vs Simpplr FAQs
How do I migrate from Simpplr to Jostle?
Jostle’s onboarding team helps you migrate content and configure targeting from day one — it’s included in your subscription. Because Jostle uses pre-structured views rather than custom pages, there’s no information architecture to rebuild. Most teams are live within days of kickoff.
Does Jostle integrate with Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace?
Yes. Jostle integrates with both ecosystems. The Library syncs file permissions with Google Drive and OneDrive so employees access documents through Jostle without duplicating permissions management. SSO works with Entra ID, Google, Okta, OneLogin, and others. User provisioning is automated via SCIM.
What does Jostle do differently than Simpplr?
Simpplr is an AI-powered intranet designed for large enterprise communications teams that need campaign management, cross-system search, and AI agents for HR/IT automation. Jostle is a people-first platform built for organizations that want high employee adoption without heavy implementation or ongoing IT management. Jostle’s pre-structured design means there are no pages to build or maintain — just reliable destinations employees visit every day.
Does Jostle have AI features?
Yes. Jostle includes built-in AI functionality across its platform. However, Jostle’s approach differs from Simpplr’s: rather than building a broad AI agent platform, Jostle focuses AI on enhancing the core experience — helping employees find what they need and stay connected.
How does pricing compare for a team of 500 employees?
Jostle starts at $2.77/user/month for core features (Bronze) and scales to $6.64/user/month for the full feature set (Gold) at the 500-user tier. Simpplr doesn’t publish pricing, but third-party estimates suggest a starting price around $8/user/month. Jostle also includes onboarding coaching in the subscription cost.
What support is available during onboarding?
Every Jostle subscription includes onboarding coaching from the Jostle team. They help you configure targeting, migrate content, and get employees using the platform from day one.
