Peak Democracy vs. Insights
Civic engagement is only the first step: Insights connects your residents to the bigger picture
Insights is offering a joint solution, enabling cities to set their goals, ask questions and report progress. We are focused on connecting communities to cities in a holistic way - sharing plans, getting inputs and closing feedback loops with personalized updates.
COMPETITORS
Peak Democracy was founded in 2007, offering cities in the Unites States to engage their residents. It is mostly focused on gathering the inputs in various forms, but doesn't (yet) offer an effective way to analyze the inputs or connects residents to the city's overall strategy.
3 things Peak Democracy doesn't offer
Direct Engagement
Insights offers you to reach our residents and ask open-ended questions. You can upload emails and phone numbers, and generate personalized messages to each and every resident.
Personal Feedback
With Peak Democracy, you will never be able to close feedback loops. Insights offers the option to respond to citizens' advice directly, with personal impact updates. That's how trust is built!
Digital Report Card
Consultation is the first step. Insights enables you to share plans, actions and achievements in one place, and keep your community in the loop.
