Lattice** - The default pick for most remote teams of ~50-500. It does reviews, 360s, goals/OKRs, 1:1 agendas, and engagement surveys in one place, which matters when you don't have hallway conversations to fill the gaps. Strong mobile app for feedback and check-ins. Caveat: performance + OKRs bundle starts around $11/person/month and there's roughly a $4,000 annual minimum, so it's often overkill under ~50 people.\n\n**2. 15Five** - The best choice if your real problem is \"we don't talk enough,\" not \"our review form is wrong.\" It built the weekly check-in model that everyone else copied, and its Best-Self Review pairs self-assessment with cross-functional 360 input. Entry pricing starts around $4/user/month, so it's far gentler on small budgets. Manager coaching is its other differentiator - useful when managers can't read the room over Slack.\n\n**3. Leapsome** - Pick this if you want performance, goals, engagement *and* learning in one system; it's the only one of the big four with a native LMS. ~€10/user/month annually. Popular with European and EU-distributed teams.\n\n**4. Culture Amp** - Lead with t", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
