MangoApps vs. Simpplr
Simpplr gives office teams a clean intranet. MangoApps connects frontline and office teams with communication, workflows, services, knowledge, and AI.
Why Organizations Leave Simpplr for MangoApps
Simpplr is a well-regarded intranet and comms platform. Here's what teams run into as they scale past it — and what they get on MangoApps instead.
Full Customization, Not Just Colors and Logos
Simpplr's customization is generally limited to basic colors and logos, with less support for deep layout changes than a fully open CMS. MangoApps gives you full control over your intranet's design — custom layouts, dashboards, branding, and CSS/HTML customization.
- Custom layouts, dashboards, and page templates
- Full CSS/HTML customization support
- Branded mobile app with your logo and colors
- Role-based personalized experiences per department or location
A True Digital Workplace, Not Just a Content Hub
Simpplr provides content sharing but has no native chat, forums, project management, or team workspaces — employees typically rely on third-party tools like Microsoft Teams or Slack alongside it. MangoApps combines intranet, instant messaging, team workspaces, project management, and file collaboration in a single platform.
- Built-in instant messaging and group chat
- Team workspaces for projects and departments
- Forums, communities, and knowledge bases
- File management and document collaboration
Operations Beyond the Intranet
Simpplr is an intranet and communications platform — it has no native scheduling, time tracking, field service, or HR modules. MangoApps pairs the same intranet and comms capabilities with frontline operations, so AI has real workflows to act on, not just content to search.
- Native shift scheduling and time & attendance
- Field service work orders, dispatch, and invoicing
- HR records, onboarding, and performance in the same platform
- One vendor for intranet, comms, and operations
A Partnership, Not Just a Handoff
MangoApps provides a dedicated implementation team and tailored onboarding plans that fit your organization's unique structure and workflows. Our customer success model — a named CSM and quarterly business reviews — is built for long-term engagement and ROI, backed by a genuine adoption guarantee.
- Dedicated implementation manager for every launch
- Tailored onboarding plans for your specific structure
- Ongoing customer success and engagement partnership
- Adoption guarantee: if employees don't adopt, you don't pay

We’ve used MangoApps to consolidate information and pretty much replace email. A lot of our staff don’t actually have computers. With MangoApps on their phones, everybody who needs to know something hears it straight away and is able to respond.
