Humanstars vs. Flip app - what are the differences?
Flip is a modern start-up with investors behind it and rapid growth. But for many companies, it's not just hip interfaces that count, but planning security, transparent costs and a well thought-out data protection concept.
HUMANSTARSapp has been offering exactly that - for over 20 years, with stable technology, reliable service and genuine partnership.

Advantages of Humanstars compared to GetFlip.
The original - since 2002:
HUMANSTARSapp is not a newcomer solution, but a proven system that has been supporting medium-sized and large companies, medical facilities and cities & municipalities with internal communication for over 20 years. We have been a pioneer in digital employee communication since 2002 - which is why HUMANSTARS stands for experience, stability and continuous innovation.
Vision & sustainability - "investors" vs. "family business":
As an owner-managed company, we remain independent and continue to strengthen our innovative power and future product portfolio with ongoing high levels of investment. We are committed to the customer, not the shareholder!
Data hosting in Germany:
All data is stored on the company's own servers in Germany, which are ISO27001 certified.
Emphasis on IT security:
HUMANSTARSapp makes no compromises when it comes to IT security and works exclusively with partners and suppliers from Germany. In addition, the IT infrastructure is optimized through several external penetration tests per year.
Seamless integration:
Integration of existing systems such as SharePoint without duplicate maintenance.
Comprehensive support:
Free access to fast and effective customer service.
Cost efficiency:
Reach commercial employees without additional Microsoft licensing.
Convinced and satisfied customer base:
According to current information, HUMANSTARSapp receives an average of 4.8 out of 5 stars on platforms such as OMR Reviews, G2, Capterra, GetApp and Digital Affin.
Cheaper alternative to Flip: Humanstars is convincing across the board.
Many companies realize: Flip is too expensive, even though the range of functions is comparable. We keep hearing that Humanstars offers the same functions - and in some areas even better - but is a much more attractive alternative in terms of price.
Why Humanstars is the cheaper alternative to Flip:
All inclusive - updates, maintenance & support
In contrast to Flip, where updates and personal service are often charged separately, Humanstars already includes all services in the price. This reduces your running costs and relieves your IT department.
No Microsoft licenses & cost-efficient reach
Humanstars reaches all employees - including blue collar workers - without additional Microsoft user licenses. This enables cost-efficient scaling, while Flip quickly becomes a budget killer.
Why companies are switching from Flip to Humanstars.
Many companies that use well-known solutions face unexpected challenges - be it with app maintenance, running costs or cyber security. That's why more and more companies are choosing HUMANSTARSapp as a powerful and worry-free alternative.
Planning security instead of start-up risk
Flip is financed by venture capital - what happens in the event of a sale or change of strategy?
❌ Uncertain future in the event of exit or takeover
❌ Strategic decisions influenced by investors
HUMANSTARSapp offers long-term stability:
✔ Independent & owner-managed since 2002 - without investors, without exit pressure
✔ Long-standing partnerships with over 900 companies
✔ Development & hosting exclusively in Germany
Small basic package - high follow-up costs
Flip entices with a small basic package - but if you want functions such as forms, news, calendar or HR features, you pay extra:
❌ Every function costs extra
❌ Many important features only available for an additional charge
❌ Service & support often not included
HUMANSTARSapp: Flexible & modular - but always fair:
✔ You only pay for what you really need - no bloated license
✔ Modules can be easily added as required - transparent & comprehensible
✔ Support, maintenance and regular updates are always included
Real service instead of self-service
Flip relies heavily on self-service - if you want personal support, you pay extra:
❌ No personal contact person in the standard
❌ Support & individual help only in the higher-priced package
HUMANSTARSapp stands for personal service right from the start:
✔ Direct contact with real people - no waiting on hold
✔ Individual support from onboarding to operation
✔ Advice, support & training included
Offline mode with Flip? We consciously say: No, thank you.
Flip offers a so-called offline mode, in which content is saved locally on the private device. Sounds practical - but there are considerable risks involved:
❌ High volume of data on private cell phones
❌ Outdated or non-updated content in circulation
❌ Security risk when giving notice - employees could take sensitive data with them
HUMANSTARSapp consistently protects your data:
✔ No local data storage on private devices
✔ Access only with active authorization - GDPR-compliant & secure
✔ Withdraw rights with one click - sensitive content cannot be taken away
Advantages of Humanstars in pricing - transparent & fair for companies of all sizes.
When choosing the right platform for internal communication, pricing plays a decisive role. HUMANSTARSapp offers a clear, modular pricing model that flexibly adapts to the needs of your company - without hidden costs or complicated calculations.
Full flexibility thanks to modules - you only pay for the functions that your company actually uses.
No Microsoft license required - reach even commercial employees without expensive additional licenses.
Unlimited number of users - scalable for companies of any size.
Hosting on certified servers in Germany - security and data protection without additional fees.
Conclusion: GetFlip looks modern - Humanstars works in the long term
Flip may look brilliant at first glance - but under the hood lurk follow-up costs, uncertainties and data protection issues. Who controlled communication, full cost transparency and maximum data security rely on HUMANSTARSapp.
