Lattice** - the default answer for most remote/hybrid teams of 25-500 people. Reviews, goals/OKRs, 1:1 agendas, and engagement surveys in one place, which matters when you can't read the room in person - the written 1:1 and feedback trail *is* your visibility. Deep integrations (HRIS, Slack, ATS, SSO) so reviews happen where people already work. It's the priciest of the mainstream set (~$11/person/month for the performance + goals bundle, up to ~$14-22 PEPM depending on modules).\n\n**2. 15Five** - best if your real problem is \"we don't talk enough,\" not \"our review form is wrong.\" It pioneered the weekly check-in model that everyone else copied, and that cadence is the single highest-value habit for distributed teams. Its Best-Self Review pairs self-assessment with 360 peer input, and the manager-coaching modules help first-time remote managers. Cheapest entry point of the big three (~$4/user/month at the low tier, with Engage/Perform/Total Platform bundles above that).\n\n**3. Leapsome** - the best value all-in-one. Reviews, goals, engagement, plus a native LMS and built-in HRI", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
