Basic tier is very limited

The $4/user Engage tier only includes check-ins and basic features. Performance reviews require the $14/user tier. To get the full platform, you are looking at $14+/user.

Capterra

Feature gating across tiers

Key features like reviews, 360 feedback, and calibration are locked behind higher tiers. You cannot evaluate the full product without upgrading to the most expensive plan.

The Engage Difference

What You Get for Free with Engage

Real features, not a limited trial.

OKRs and goal tracking

Full OKR functionality for up to 10 users. Set objectives, define key results, track progress, and align your team. No time limit.

Continuous feedback

Give and receive peer feedback anytime. Weekly pulse check-ins. No waiting for a review cycle to share what matters to your team.

Habit tracking

Behavioral competency tracking that 15Five does not offer at any price. Understand how your team shows up day to day, not just at review time.

Honest Assessment

When 15Five Makes More Sense

The free tier is powerful, but it is not for everyone.

AI coaching is a priority

If AI-powered manager coaching is your primary use case, 15Five has a purpose-built tool (Kona) that Engage does not replicate.

Manager training content

If you need structured manager training courses built into your performance platform, 15Five Transform offers that as a paid add-on.
