## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-18 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd shortlist them:
> 
> **1. 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.
> 
> **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.
> 
> **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.
> 
> **4. Culture Amp** - Lead with t
