Common questions

Is LVL Up Performance a good alternative to 15Five?

It depends what you need. 15Five offers performance reviews, employee engagement and manager development. Its performance scope includes 360 feedback, goals, competencies and career paths. LVL Up Performance is a fit if you want reviews, goals, feedback and recognition together with published flat-plan pricing starting at $29/month — it is not the fit if you want manager training programs and engagement science run by a dedicated HR owner.

How does LVL Up Performance pricing compare to 15Five?

15Five: Engage is $4, Perform is $11, and Total Platform is $16 per person/month, billed annually. Additional coaching, content and compensation products have separate pricing. LVL Up Performance publishes three flat plans instead — Team at $29/month for 25 people, Growth at $79 for 100, and Scale at $149 for 150 plus $2 per additional person up to 500 — with no quote call required to see a number.

What should I check before switching from 15Five to LVL Up Performance?

Engage is not the full performance package Run your own review cycle or goal-setting workflow in a trial before committing either way — a demo answers less than a week of real use does.

Bring employees, departments and goals through CSV import. Check the workflows and exports you need during your 14-day trial. Custom migrations and integrations are scoped separately.
