For a 50-person company switching from Lattice or Culture Amp to Blik hosted. Savings scale with team size. At 100 employees, you're saving €17,000-35,000 annually.
Blik is open source under AGPL-3.0 license. I built this because I was tired of paying €15,000/year for features I didn't need1. If you can host it yourself, you should be able to use it for free. The hosted plans exist for teams that want the software without the DevOps overhead.
No catch. It's a flat €49/month for up to 50 employees, all features included. I wanted pricing that doesn't require a spreadsheet to calculate. If you grow past 50 employees, you move to the €199/month tier for up to 200 employees. That's it.
None. €49 is €49. No setup fees, no per-user charges, no feature restrictions, no surprise renewal increases. The only way your bill goes up is if you grow past 50 employees and need the larger plan.
Nothing immediate. We're not going to shut you down at employee #51. When you're ready, you can upgrade to the €199 plan which covers up to 200 employees. We'll send you a reminder when you're approaching the limit.
Yes, but we don't have an automated migration tool yet. You'd need to export your data from your self-hosted instance and we can help you import it into a hosted account. If this is something you need, reach out and we'll figure it out.
Not formally yet, but reach out. For non-profits and educational institutions, I'm happy to work something out. Self-hosting is always free regardless.
Credit card via Stripe for hosted plans. We handle EUR, USD, and GBP. Invoicing is available for annual contracts on the Enterprise plan.
14-day free trial means you can try before you pay. After that, if you cancel, you're billed for the current month and that's it. No refunds on partial months, but you keep access until the end of your billing period.
A junior developer for 2-3 months would cost you more than 5 years of Blik hosting. Plus you'd own the maintenance burden forever. Self-hosting Blik costs you maybe 4 hours of DevOps time for initial setup, then it just runs.
Start with self-hosting (free forever) or try our managed hosting with a 14-day free trial.
Pricing Calculation: The "Save €17,000/year" claim compares Blik's €588/year hosted plan (€49/month × 12) against Lattice's full platform cost of approximately €18,000/year for 50 employees ($11/user base + $6/user compensation module = $17/user/month × 50 = $850/month = $10,200/year + $4,000 minimum = ~€13,000-18,000 depending on modules). Actual savings vary based on team size and competitor modules selected.
