Why Blik

Blik focuses on structured 360° feedback, with flat hosted pricing, open-source deployment, and token-based review access. Here is how those choices work and what to consider before adopting it.

Flat Pricing vs. Per-User Pricing

Many performance platforms charge per user per month, sell modules on top, and impose annual minimums. Blik charges one flat rate per tier, with every feature included.

Blik pricing

Self-Hosted €0 (AGPL-3.0) Unlimited employees
Hosted SaaS €49/month (€588/year) Up to 50 employees
Enterprise €199/month (€2388/year) Up to 200 employees

How competitors price for a 50-person team

Platform Pricing Annual cost at 50 seats
Blik (hosted) Flat: €49/month up to 50 employees €588/year flat
Lattice $10–32 per seat/month (Performance $10 to all five modules $32) $6,000–19,200/yr; $4,000 annual minimum; annual billing only
15Five Engage $4 / Perform $11 / Total Platform $16 per user/month $2,400 / $6,600 / $9,600/yr; annual billing

Open Source, No Lock-In

Blik is AGPL-3.0 and the code is public on GitHub. You can self-host it, audit every line, and keep your data on your own infrastructure.

Your data, your servers

Self-hosting keeps performance feedback on infrastructure you control. It runs on a small EU VPS (≈€10-50/month) and gets you up and running in under 30 minutes with Docker Compose.

GDPR export & delete

Self-service JSON data export and account deletion are built in. Review the exported fields and your retention obligations before moving or deleting records.

Monthly or one-time

Hosted subscriptions are month-to-month. 14-day free trial — credit card required; cancel before it ends and you won't be charged. Or pay €19 once for a single review round, with no subscription.

Blik's honest gaps

No product fits every team. Here is what Blik does not yet offer, so you can decide whether it matters for you:

  • No SSO / SAML / LDAP: planned, not yet shipped.
  • No native HRIS connectors: integrations are done through the REST API and webhooks rather than pre-built adapters.
  • No mobile app: Blik works in a mobile browser, but there is no dedicated native app.

Anonymity by Design

Blik uses token-based access and category-aggregated reports. Confidentiality depends on the invitation method, access permissions, response thresholds, and what reviewers write.

Token-based responses

Reviewers open a tokenized link rather than create an account. Responses are linked to reviewer tokens, which may also contain an invitation email address.

Reporting safeguards

Report thresholds can limit small-group disclosure. This is not a guarantee against identification by someone with database access or from identifying comments.

Open source, auditable

The AGPL-3.0 source lets your technical team inspect token storage, report generation, and permissions before deployment.

Tell reviewers how invitations and reports work, who has access, and the limits of confidentiality before collecting feedback.
