Three things that set Engage apart.
Points, leaderboards, badges, streaks, and a point shop. Engage turns performance management into something people actually want to use.
Continuous, peer-rated behavioral competency tracking. Not a one-time review score; a living picture of how people show up every day.
OKRs, reviews, feedback, recognition, habits, and gamification. One price. No add-ons, no per-module upsells, no surprise invoices.
Honest assessment of where 15Five has an advantage.
15Five offers Kona Coach, an AI coaching add-on for managers. If manager coaching and development is your primary use case, it is purpose-built for that.
15Five was built around the weekly check-in format and has refined that workflow for years. Their check-in templates and pulse question library are extensive.
15Five includes manager training microlearnings in its Total Platform plan and sells further manager content as a paid add-on.
Straight answers. No sales pitch.
Yes. We offer free migration from 15Five including check-in history, OKRs, review data, and employee records.
Engage, with Perform and Lead360 as parts of it, covers performance reviews, OKRs, feedback, recognition, and adds gamification and habit tracking. 15Five offers AI coaching and manager training content that Engage does not have as standalone features.
Engage starts free. Pro is $8/user/month billed monthly, or $6/user/month billed annually. 15Five lists plans from $4 to $16 per user per month, billed annually, with coaching and training content sold as add-ons.
The free tier includes OKRs, feedback, and habit tracking for up to 10 users. Paid plans unlock reviews, recognition, gamification, and larger team sizes.
Yes. Engage supports continuous feedback loops including weekly pulse surveys, peer feedback, and manager check-ins. The format is flexible, not locked into a single template.
