The best Ideanote alternative: Nova.

Are you looking for a simple way to collect, develop, prioritize and act on the right ideas? While Ideanote is a popular choice, it may not be the most scalable and collaborative option, especially if you need to hold stakeholders accountable or monitor progress across different departments. In this post, we’ll explain why and introduce Nova – our favorite alternative.

Consider using a tool like Nova if you want to manage all your collaborative and innovation efforts in one place and avoid subscribing to multiple platforms.

About Nova.

Nova is a collaboration and stakeholder management platform designed to help teams collect ideas, gather feedback, and make decisions collectively. Its user-friendly interface and extensive customization options make it ideal for collaborative initiatives. With Nova, teams can decide what external stakeholders have access to or which sections they can see. Users can even decide if team members and stakeholders can see each other’s answers or not. Unlike Ideanote, this platform holds leaders and collaborators accountable, and all idea walls have clear due dates.

Nova is a good option when you have multiple phases of a project where you need feedback or to gather ideas from stakeholders and when you want to monitor engagement while keeping your work and tasks organized.

Overall, Nova offers more extensive features and collaborative spaces compared to Ideaboard, making it a professional and scalable alternative at an affordable price point for larger teams or enterprises. If you’re looking to improve your team’s productivity and collaboration, Nova is definitely worth considering.
