The system has two main components, the APB component that allows an individual to create and distribute a "call for action" webpage, and the "Web Assistant", that, when installed on a user's computer, helps APB participants by automating the process of logging in, voting or commenting according to the previously created APB.

Collactive offers a free and an Enterprise edition for its services. The free edition is available to individuals for non-commercial use, and the Enterprise edition is for commercial use.
