Torch is a leadership coaching platform for mid-market and enterprise talent teams that want coaching tied to their own strategy. It is quote-only, with no public prices or trial. Spark AI simulations and before-and-after 360s give it a measurement angle that plain coaching marketplaces lack.

Lattice
Stands out: Review cycles, goals and surveys in one people-ops suite, with MCP in the assistant marketplaces.
Watch out: Pricing is modular, so the per-seat figure depends on which products you buy, and every contract is billed annually with a $4,000 minimum.
Not the right fit for
Torch
Stands out: Every Torch engagement starts by turning your strategy into a set of leadership capacities, then anchors a 360, coaching and the Spark AI agent to them, with a closing 360 on the same instrument. Its network of about 350 coaches is senior, and Torch says many hold doctoral qualifications in psychology or therapy.
Watch out: Torch does not publish prices or offer a trial, so budgets depend on a scoped quote. Integrations are limited to Slack, Zoom and SAML single sign-on, with no public API.
