Head to head

Lattice vs Torch

Same facts, side by side: starting price, free tier, MCP, API and what each one is actually built for.

Lattice

$4/seat/mo

Performance, engagement and HRIS for people operations, with per-seat pricing from $4/mo, billed annually.

Where Lattice fits

People-ops teams of roughly 50 to 500

HR teams that want surveys next to goals
Buyers using the Claude or ChatGPT marketplaces

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.

Where Torch fits

Mid-market and enterprise talent teams developing managers and executives
Companies going through AI adoption, restructuring or mergers
HR teams that need 360-based proof of behavior change
Programs that mix 1:1, group and AI coaching

Where they pull apart

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

Talent acquisition teams looking for an ATS
US payroll-first small-business buyers

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.

Not the right fit for

Organizations wanting a very large global coach pool in many languages
Buyers who need a public API or HRIS integration
