It depends what you need. BambooHR is a broader HR system for employee records, hiring, onboarding and time off. Pro adds performance management, including 360 reviews and 1:1s. 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 need hiring, onboarding, payroll and benefits in the same system as your records.
BambooHR: For more than 25 employees, Core starts at $10, Pro at $17 and Elite at $25 per employee/month, before volume discounts. Smaller-company pricing starts at $250/month. Payroll, benefits administration and time tracking are additional products. 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.
