Humanstars vs. Just Social - what are the differences?
Humanstars vs. Just Social - what are the differences?
Just Social offers a platform for internal communication and collaboration - but a closer look reveals that many functions cost extra, the entry hurdle is high, and personal service is the exception rather than the rule.
Humanstars takes a different approach: we offer a well thought-out complete solution - modular, secure, transparent - with no minimum size and no compromise on service.

"The best Just Social alternative from Germany!" OMR Reviews Q2/2025
As a central platform for all internal communication and administration processes, HUMANSTARSapp reduces our need for additional tools and external service providers." Head of Corporate Communications Zeitfracht Group, German Airways
"The price-performance ratio is unbeatable." Head of Team Communications Schnellecke
Advantages of Humanstars compared to Just Social.
The original - since 2002:
HUMANSTARSapp is not a newcomer solution, but a proven system that has been supporting medium-sized and large companies, medical facilities and cities & municipalities with internal communication for over 20 years. We have been a pioneer in digital employee communication since 2002 - which is why HUMANSTARS stands for experience, stability and continuous innovation.
Vision & sustainability - "investors" vs. "family business":
As an owner-managed company, we remain independent and continue to strengthen our innovative power and future product portfolio with ongoing high levels of investment. We are committed to the customer, not the shareholder!
Data hosting in Germany:
All data is stored on the company's own servers in Germany, which are ISO27001 certified.
Emphasis on IT security:
HUMANSTARSapp makes no compromises when it comes to IT security and works exclusively with partners and suppliers from Germany. In addition, the IT infrastructure is optimized through several external penetration tests per year.
Seamless integration:
Integration of existing systems such as SharePoint without duplicate maintenance.
Comprehensive support:
Free access to fast and effective customer service.
Cost efficiency:
Reach commercial employees without additional Microsoft licensing.
Convinced and satisfied customer base:
According to current information, HUMANSTARSapp receives an average of 4.8 out of 5 stars on platforms such as OMR Reviews, G2, Capterra, GetApp and Digital Affin.
Cheaper alternative to Just Social: Humanstars is convincing across the board.
Many companies realize: Just Social is too expensive, even though the range of functions is comparable. We keep hearing that Humanstars offers the same functions - and in some areas even better - but is a much more attractive alternative in terms of price.
Why Humanstars is the cheaper alternative to Just Social:
All inclusive - updates, maintenance & support
In contrast to Just Social, where updates and personal service are often billed separately, Humanstars includes all services in the price. This reduces your running costs and relieves your IT department.
No Microsoft licenses & cost-efficient reach
Humanstars reaches all employees - including blue collar workers - without additional Microsoft user licenses. This enables cost-efficient scaling, while Just Social quickly becomes a budget killer.
Why companies are switching from Just Social to Humanstars.
Many companies that use well-known solutions face unexpected challenges - be it with app maintenance, running costs or cyber security. That's why more and more companies are choosing HUMANSTARSapp as a powerful and worry-free alternative.
Personal service instead of a self-service platform
While Just Social relies heavily on self-service and initiative, Humanstars supports each project individually - with passion, experience and a real contact person:
Humanstars offers:
-
Personal project support from kick-off to going live
-
Fast support without ticket systems or long waiting times
-
Training, onboarding assistance and individual advice included
-
No extra charge for service - because good support is a matter of course for us
We support over 900 companies - from SMEs to international corporations - and know the practicalities inside out.
No barriers to entry - for companies of all sizes
Just Social is primarily aimed at larger organizations (from approx. 300 employees), smaller companies are often left out.
Humanstars, on the other hand, is open to everyone - regardless of whether they have 50 or 15,000 employees.
Humanstars means:
-
No minimum number of users
-
Flexible license models that grow with your company
-
Fast, uncomplicated introduction without a major project
Flexible, scalable and ready for immediate use - even without your own IT department.
Transparent pricing - without hidden costs
With Just Social, many functions and modules have to be booked additionally - with corresponding additional work in controlling.
Humanstars offers:
-
A modular system with clear prices
-
No function "behind the payment barrier"
-
Everything from a single source - from the app to updates and support
Conclusion: No cost traps. No surprises. Only honest partnership.
