Ideario vs Sticky notes
The brainstorm classic — unbeatable for a 45-minute workshop in one room, and gone from memory the moment someone wipes the whiteboard. Ideario gives your team one private portal where every idea is captured, voted on and tracked to done.
What Sticky notes really costs
A pack of sticky notes costs a few dollars; the photo of the wall that someone takes at the end of the workshop is free — and that photo is where the ideas' lifecycle usually ends.
Where sticky notes fall short
- Everything depends on being in the room: remote teammates and anyone who joins later never see the wall.
- Dot-voting happens once, in that session — the count is frozen even as the team learns and opinions change.
- There is no follow-through: notes get photographed, the whiteboard gets erased, and the photo dies in a chat thread.
- Ideas that arrive on Tuesday, outside a workshop, have nowhere to go until the next one.
How Ideario compares
- Ideario is the wall that never gets erased: ideas are captured year-round, from anywhere, by any member of the organization.
- Votes are living dot-votes — teammates can add or remove their vote as understanding evolves, so the ranking stays current.
- Statuses carry ideas beyond the brainstorm: from inbox through considering and planned all the way to done.
- Remote-friendly by default: the portal is private to your organization and updates in realtime for everyone, in the office or not.
To be fair: teams get real work done with sticky notes, and for a two-person team they may be enough. This page is for teams whose best ideas keep slipping through the cracks — and who want a fair, visible way to decide what gets built next.
Give every idea a place to land
One private portal where your whole team captures ideas, votes on them and watches the best ones ship.
