What each one does differently

Lattice

$4/seat/mo MCP API

Why it comes up: Performance plus engagement suite if you want a larger vendor quote.

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.

Best for

  • People-ops teams of roughly 50 to 500
  • Companies running review cycles
  • HR teams that want surveys next to goals

Leapsome

Sales-quoted Free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Modular talent suite with learning, OKRs and HRIS.

Stands out: Buy modules one at a time, with AI agents and an MCP connector for Claude and ChatGPT included in all plans.

Watch out: No public price. Pricing is quoted by sales and depends on modules, user count and multi-module discounts.

Best for

  • People teams wanting reviews and OKRs together
  • Companies switching HRIS and adding modules later
  • Orgs using AI agents for reviews and workflows

Culture Amp

Sales-quoted MCP API

Why it comes up: Engagement-first platform if surveys matter more than reviews.

Stands out: AI Coach is built into Engage and Perform, plus an MCP connector for Claude and ChatGPT and a developer API.

Watch out: All products are billed annually and priced by headcount, product and service tier. The MCP connector needs sign-up.

Best for

  • People teams running engagement surveys
  • Companies pairing reviews with engagement data
  • Managers who want coaching in the tool

15Five

$4/user/mo

Why it comes up: Weekly check-ins and manager coaching for lighter performance programs.

Stands out: The $4 Engage seat is a real public number, with manager coaching, Kona, and compensation sold as add-ons rather than hiding the whole suite behind a quote.

Watch out: AI reviews, AMAYA, 360s, and OKRs sit on Perform ($11/user/mo) or Total Platform ($16/user/mo), and Kona/compensation are extra. Budgeting Engage alone will not cover a full performance cycle.

Best for

  • People teams rolling out weekly check-ins
  • Companies that want engagement surveys without an enterprise HCM
  • Manager-effectiveness programs
