## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-16 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Quick framing: there isn't really a "remote-only" category here - every one of these is cloud-based. What actually matters for distributed teams is async-friendly review cycles (nobody's calibrating in a conference room), Slack/Teams as the notification surface so reminders reach people in their own time zone, and whether you need multi-country employment tied in. Ranked by what I'd actually recommend:
> 
> **1. Lattice** - My default recommendation for a distributed company of roughly 50-1,000 people. It's the most complete package: reviews, 360s, goals/OKRs, engagement surveys, and compensation cycles in one system, with good Slack integration so managers and reviewers get nudged without an email pile-up. Roughly $11-15/person/month for the full platform. The main downside is that it's enough machinery that a 20-person startup will feel over-tooled.
> 
> **2. 15Five** - The best fit if your remote culture runs on written async rhythm rather than meetings. It was built around weekly check-ins and continuous feedback, so the formal review is a byproduct of what people already wrote all quarter - which is exactly the pattern that survives across time zones. Cheapest entry point too, startin
