How Much Does 15Five Cost in 2026?

15Five differentiates on 'continuous performance management' philosophy — weekly check-ins, continuous feedback, 1:1 agendas, OKR alignment as an ongoing practice rather than annual review cycle. The per-user pricing is transparent and competitive: Engage $4, Perform $11, Total Platform $16. For a 300-employee company, Perform at $11 = $33,000/year covers performance reviews + OKRs + 360° feedback + talent matrix + career paths + the HR Outcomes Dashboard. The Total Platform at $16 adds manager microlearnings + practice prompts + in-app nudges — genuinely useful for companies with many new managers needing development. The add-on economy is where 15Five gets expensive: Kona AI Coach at $19/manager/mo, Manager Products Content at $49/manager/mo, Manager Coaching at $399/credit, Kona Meeting Assistant at $2/employee/mo. A 300-employee, 60-manager company on Total Platform with Kona AI Coach + Manager Products adds $16 × 300 = $4,800/mo base + $19 × 60 = $1,140/mo Kona + $49 × 60 = $2,940/mo Manager Products = $8,880/mo = $106,560/year. Budget carefully. Compensation add-on ($9-11/user) is competitive with Lattice's Compensation. Where 15Five wins: transparent per-user tier pricing (all three tiers public), continuous performance philosophy well-executed, manager microlearnings on Total Platform is category-unique, HR Outcomes Dashboard ties engagement to business metrics, annual scaling flexibility. Where it loses: add-on economy compounds costs quickly, annual-only billing, Kona AI Coach and Manager Products at $19-$49/manager/mo are optional but feel semi-required for quoted 'effectiveness' outcomes.
