Comparison
ShortPoint is a powerful page-building suite - and priced like one. If what you actually want is a handful of beautiful, purpose-built SharePoint web parts - a real org chart, a proper staff directory, a multi-source calendar - Glow Cloud Kit gives you all fifteen for less than their entry plan costs for a single site, bought self-serve, with nothing tracking your users.
Straight facts, from each product's public pricing and documentation. Where they genuinely do more, we say so.
| Glow Cloud Kit | ShortPoint | |
|---|---|---|
| Complete price | £99/mo (~£990/yr), everything included | from $1,998/yr (Lite) to $3,998/yr (Pro), + custom Enterprise |
| Sites covered | Unlimited on every plan | Lite = 1 site; unlimited needs Pro ($3,998/yr) |
| Users | Unlimited, per tenant | Per plan |
| How you buy | Self-serve online, 14-day free trial, cancel anytime | Self-serve Lite; higher tiers are sales / quote-led |
| Runs as | Native SPFx web parts, in your tenant | Native SPFx, in your tenant |
| What it is | 15 focused, purpose-built web parts | A full drag-and-drop page builder (80+ elements, 100+ templates) |
| Video hero bands | Ambient video backgrounds with poster-first paint, a reduced-motion fallback and a 9-point focal point - upload straight to your own Site Assets | Background video via a pasted URL; their docs note no mobile support and no autoplay on iOS |
| Per-user tracking | None - nothing records who opens what | Not stated as a feature |
| Licence keys | None - activate the tenant once | Per their licensing |
| Buy one part only | Yes - £29/mo per web part | Suite only |
These are two different shapes of product. Picking the right one matters more than a feature count.
The short version: ShortPoint is a broad, capable page builder aimed at enterprise design teams, priced accordingly. Glow Cloud Kit isn't trying to be that - it's fifteen focused web parts that each do one job beautifully, self-serve, at around a third of what ShortPoint's unlimited-sites plan costs.
If you don't need a full template-and-page-builder platform - and most teams who just want a great org chart or staff directory don't - you're paying for capability you won't use. That's the gap Glow Cloud Kit fills.
£99/mo for all 15, or £29/mo per part. 14-day free trial, a card is required to start, cancel anytime, no licence keys.
