IdeaScale is built for large companies and government agencies that need to collect and manage thousands of ideas from big crowds — not for small teams of 2-50 people. The platform is powerful for running structured innovation programs, but enterprise-only pricing and no free tier make it a poor fit if you're a small business watching your budget. You'd likely get the same results from a simple shared doc or a lighter tool at a fraction of the cost.
