Guider vs Qooper

Guider is a web-based platform for creating and scaling workplace mentoring programmes. It supports mentoring, peer mentoring, group mentoring, flash mentoring, coaching, and sponsorship. Flash Mentoring provides short, targeted sessions: participants can find, match, and join opportunities through the platform, with matching based on stated needs and goals. Users can book and host virtual sessions in Guider or connect sessions with Microsoft Teams. Integrations also include Outlook. A Learning Hub inside the platform offers mentoring resources, articles, videos, and downloadable templates covering subjects such as DE&I and skill development. Organisations can apply their logos and brand colours to the platform and landing pages. Multiple-program functionality supports programmes beyond a small group, while reporting tools help users track progress, gather insights, and use feedback to improve programmes. Guider says a dedicated Customer Success Team is provided. It is available on the web, headquartered in London, and sold on a tailored enterprise basis according to programme and participant needs. Its Microsoft Teams app is reported as not SOC 2, SOC 3, or ISO 27001 certified.
