Trakstar Perform from Sales-quotedAPI

Closest alternatives

The short answer

PerformYard : PerformYard is also quote-priced and review-focused, but adds configurable stages, approvals and compensation modules you choose a la carte. From Sales-quoted
Lattice : Lattice publishes a price from $4 per seat and pairs reviews with engagement, goals and an HRIS, plus a first-party MCP server. From $4/seat/mo
Culture Amp : Culture Amp leans toward development-focused 360s and engagement science rather than a manager-led appraisal. From Sales-quoted
15Five : 15Five centres on weekly check-ins and manager coaching from $4 per user, for lighter performance programs. From $4/user/mo

Why people look past Trakstar Perform

No published price, and reviewers note extra cost for add-ons such as succession planning. 360 input sits inside a manager-mediated appraisal workflow, so teams wanting a standalone, development-only 360 may find it heavier than they need. The Trakstar name is being folded into Mitratech branding.

What we noted

No published price
Add-ons such as succession cost extra
360 tied to the appraisal workflow

Not the right fit for

Buyers who need a published per-user price
Teams wanting a full HRIS or payroll
Very small teams running informal peer feedback

Worth keeping in mind: Built around the appraisal itself: unlimited templates, 100+ competencies, automated reminders with live progress tracking, and reporting with rater bias detection and succession insights. Its AI Note Summary drafts a review from peer, manager and self feedback, and Mitratech says customer data is never used to train the model.

What each one does differently

PerformYard

Sales-quoted API

Why it comes up: PerformYard is also quote-priced and review-focused, but adds configurable stages, approvals and compensation modules you choose a la carte.

Stands out: Build your own package from reviews, goals, compensation, coaching and engagement tools, with onboarding and training included.

Watch out: Pricing is per seat and billed annually only, with no published rate. The price depends on headcount and the modules you choose.

Best for

HR teams replacing spreadsheet reviews
Companies linking reviews to compensation
Orgs that want engagement surveys with reviews

Lattice

$4/seat/mo MCP API

Why it comes up: Lattice publishes a price from $4 per seat and pairs reviews with engagement, goals and an HRIS, plus a first-party MCP server.

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

Culture Amp

Sales-quoted MCP API

Why it comes up: Culture Amp leans toward development-focused 360s and engagement science rather than a manager-led appraisal.

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: 15Five centres on weekly check-ins and manager coaching from $4 per user, 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
