Can I use StratSimple if I already have a strategic plan?
Absolutely. We can load your existing strategic framework into StratSimple, then collect team updates and automate reporting for staff and board meetings. If you only have a high-level plan, we’ll help you build measurable annual goals to support it.
How much does StratSimple cost?
Our Implementation Dashboard starts at $2,000/year for nonprofits under $10M in Form990 revenue and includes up to 50 users. We price per organization, not per seat, so adding new team members won’t cost extra. Strategic Listening & Analysis projects start at $4,500 depending on scope. We’re typically a fraction of the cost of alternatives. Check out the pricing page for more details.
Is there a limit to how many participants we can include in our surveys?
There’s no limit on survey participants. Most responses come through anonymous links you can share however you’d like (email, newsletters, or social media). For highly engaged groups like board members or staff, we can send up to 500 tracked invitations so you’ll know who has responded and we can automate follow-ups. This cap helps protect email deliverability and keep response rates high.
What languages does your survey tool support?
If Google Translate can handle it, we probably can too! You write your survey in your preferred language. Our Virtual Interview Survey detects each participant’s response language, asks follow-up questions in that same language, and translates everything into English for analysis.
How long does it take to get started, and what does training look like?
You can start using StratSimple within minutes of signing up. We offer a 30-minute live training, and most teams are ready to go immediately afterward! Follow-up questions are rare. All we need to get started is your mission, vision, values, and any existing strategic plan. And if you ever need support, we’re here to help.
How customizable is the language/terminology for goals?
Fully customizable. While we’re fans of the Objectives and Key Results (OKR) framework, we know every organization has its own vocabulary. It doesn’t matter if you call them “priorities”, “objectives”, “focus areas” or “pillars.” StratSimple adapts to match the language you already use.
How does StratSimple help with board reporting?
StratSimple automatically summarizes your plan’s progress and generates an editable PowerPoint for board meetings. Review it, make any tweaks you’d like, and you’re ready to present. No more scrambling to pull updates together before every meeting.
Can I use StratSimple if I’m already working with a consultant?
You sure can! We work alongside consultants all the time. In fact, many of our clients come through consulting partners. StratSimple handles the community listening upfront and the implementation tracking afterward, leaving your consultant free to focus on facilitation and strategy.
How does StratSimple protect my data?
Your data is hosted securely within the enterprise Microsoft Azure platform, encrypted in transit and at rest. We don’t sell or share your information, your data can never be used for AI model training, and you retain full ownership of everything you put into StratSimple.
