15Five

15Five owes its name to its founding ritual: fifteen minutes of writing per week for the employee, five minutes of reading for the manager. Around this weekly check-in, the platform added one-on-one management with shared agendas, goals and OKRs, review campaigns, peer recognition and engagement surveys measuring internal climate. The grid is clear and published: Engage at $4/user/month for surveys and engagement only, Perform at $11 for performance, and Total Platform at $16 for everything, on annual billing. Complementary modules add to the base price: Compensation from $9/user/month, the meeting assistant Kona AI at $2/employee/month, and manager coaching offers billed separately.

15Five does not document a French interface: the product, help center and website all stay in English, limiting use to English-speaking teams or multinationals whose working language is English. The editor publishes a documented public API, mainly for importing users and HRIS sync, plus connectors to team messaging, identity directories and major payroll and HR software. The caveat is the same as competitors: the $4/user/month entry point covers engagement only, and an SME wanting performance, compensation and AI assistance quickly finds itself well over $25/user/month.
