YouNoodle Compete is an application and evaluation platform built for innovation challenges, startup competitions, grants, and accelerator programs. Organizations use it to collect applications, run multi-round judging, coordinate reviewer teams, and surface results — all from a single, configurable platform. What sets YouNoodle apart isn't the software alone — it's the network behind it. YouNoodle connects every program to an active community of 400,000+ entrepreneurs across 100+ countries, helping organizers attract qualified applicants instead of waiting for them to find the program on their own. Over 15+ years, YouNoodle has powered 6,000+ programs for organizations including Stanford University, AWS, and Greentown Labs. The platform is built to scale with program complexity. Application forms are fully customizable, judging can run across multiple rounds with configurable scoring criteria, and organizers get real-time dashboards to track submissions, reviewer progress, and results as they happen. Programs can invite external recommenders, manage team-based applications, and communicate with applicants at every stage without leaving the platform. Security and compliance are built in from the ground up: YouNoodle is SOC 2 Type II certified and compliant with GDPR and the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, making it suitable for organizations with strict data-handling requirements — including universities, government-affiliated programs, and global enterprises. YouNoodle offers flexible pricing across four tiers — Starter, Premium, Premium Plus, and a custom Enterprise plan for organizations running multiple programs or requiring advanced security and support. Annual plans are available at a discount versus monthly billing. Whether you're running a single startup pitch competition or managing a global innovation program with hundreds of applicants across multiple languages, YouNoodle Compete gives you the tools — and the applicant pipeline — to run it well. * * * Seller [YouNoodle](https://www.g2.com/sellers/younoodle) Discussions [YouNoodle Community](https://www.g2.com/products/younoodle/discuss) Languages Supported German, English, French, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Chinese (Simplified) Overview by Diana Iruegas Show More ## Pricing Pricing provided by YouNoodle. ### Starter $999.00 Per Year ### Premium $2,499.00 Per Year [ View More Pricing Information ](https://www.g2.com/products/younoodle/pricing) ## Top-Rated Alternatives [ ![Award Force](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Award Force") Award Force 4.7/5(290) ](https://www.g2.com/products/award-force/reviews) [ ![Submittable](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Submittable") Submittable 4.5/5(168) ](https://www.g2.com/products/submittable/reviews) [ ![OpenWater Application and Review Cloud](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "OpenWater Application and Review Cloud") OpenWater Application and Review Cloud 4.4/5(151) ](https://www.g2.com/products/openwater-application-and-review-cloud/reviews) [ View All Alternatives ](https://www.g2.com/products/younoodle/competitors/alternatives) ## YouNoodle hasn't been reviewed yet Used YouNoodle?
