Their tiers on the left, Untap Corporates plan on the right. Education and NGO pricing subtracts 25% and 50% respectively.
ITONICS lists no pricing on its own site or on its G2 and Capterra profiles, and the platform is modular: Radar, Portfolio, Roadmapping and Ideation are configured and priced separately. Reviewers note the value case only stacks up when several modules are in play. If what you need is ongoing programs with real evaluation, Untap's Corporates Starter at $2,500/year covers submissions, juries, AI screening, public voting and community with nothing left to license.
Annual billing includes 2 months free. Subscription pause available at $15/month between program cycles. Education tier: 25% off list. Small NGO tier: 50% off list.

WHAT USERS SAY
Common feedback about ITONICS.
Paraphrased themes from public reviews. No direct quotes, no cherry-picking: recurring patterns only.
Trend radar and visualisation stand out
The scouting, signal detection and portfolio visuals are the features reviewers single out as differentiated.
BASED ON G2, CAPTERRA AND TRUSTRADIUS REVIEWS, 2024-2026
Breadth creates a learning curve
Teams have to be trained across several modules, which reviewers describe as heavy for simpler use cases.

Value is hard to assess up front
Fully custom quoting means buyers cannot benchmark cost without entering a sales process.

Better for strategy than for running programs
Reviews position it as strongest for foresight and roadmapping rather than day-to-day program operations.

BY ORGANIZATION
Which platform is right for you?
An honest take. There are scenarios where ITONICS is the right answer.
Choose ITONICS when...
- Trend scouting, foresight and technology radars are the primary need
- You are managing an innovation portfolio and roadmap, not program intake
- You will genuinely use several modules together
- Strategy teams, not program teams, own the platform
Choose Untap when...
- You want ongoing innovation infrastructure, not a project you rebuild each cycle
- You need published pricing and a free trial instead of a quote cycle
- Unlimited ideas, programs, reviewers and admins matter more than modules
- You run innovation alongside awards, hackathons, grants and talent programs
- You want jury rubrics, blind review, AI screening and public voting in one flow
- You are an NGO, foundation or university and need a structured discount

Being fair
Where ITONICS is stronger
ITONICS is the better pick when your needs match what it was built for — see the “Choose ITONICS when...” card above. Untap is the better pick when you run programs continuously and need unlimited submissions, users and programs on one flat price. Both are valid; the honest question is volume and frequency.
