> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd try them:
> 
> **1. Lattice** - the safe default for a 50-500 person distributed company. Review cycles, goals/OKRs, 1:1s, and engagement in one place, plus the heavier stuff you eventually need (calibration, talent reviews, promotion packets). Performance starts around $10-11/user/mo, but note the ~$4,000 annual minimum, which makes it a poor fit under ~30 people. ([lattice.com](https://lattice.com/articles/hr-software-pricing), [performyard.com](https://www.performyard.com/compare/performyard-vs-lattice))
> 
> **2. 15Five** - my pick if "remote" for you means *async and spread across time zones*. It's built around lightweight weekly check-ins (15 min to write, 5 to read) rather than a once-a-year ritual, so managers accumulate written evidence continuously instead of trying to reconstruct a year they never saw. Starts ~$11/user/mo for Perform, ~$16 for the full platform, and has the most transparent pricing of the group.

> 
> **3. Leapsome** - best breadth per dollar at roughly $9

Answer Watch records what one AI answer engine said on one date, nothing more. Each page names the engine and the model, carries the date the question was asked, and lists the brands that appeared in the answer in the order the engine gave them, with the sources it cited. It is a measurement, not a ranking, not a recommendation and not a claim about the world. Brands that did not appear in an answer are not named on any public page.
