Common questions

Is LVL Up Performance a good alternative to Betterworks?

It depends what you need. Betterworks offers goals, performance conversations, reviews and AI, with expanded talent intelligence for calibration, succession and skills. 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 run company-wide OKRs and succession planning across thousands of people.

How does LVL Up Performance pricing compare to Betterworks?

Betterworks: Performance lists $8/person/month; Performance + Talent Intelligence lists $9/person/month. Enterprise is quoted. Implementation costs extra; confirm billing term, minimum and services before comparing totals. 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 Betterworks to LVL Up Performance?

Published prices require confirmation of terms 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.
