How we make this list: we compare pricing pages, product documentation and public user reviews. Rankite is independent; if a vendor ever pays for a featured spot, that listing is clearly labeled Partner.
Key takeaways
- Lattice ($10/user/month, billed annually) and 15Five ($11/user/month) publish real prices and include 360 feedback in their core review products, which makes budgeting simple.
- Culture Amp, Leapsome and Betterworks keep pricing quote-based, so get a written quote before comparing them against transparent options.
- Small Improvements ($3/user/month) and PerformYard ($5/user/month) are the lowest-cost entries for teams that mainly need structured review cycles with 360 input.
- 360 feedback only works with anonymity and follow-through, so weigh reviewer workflow and calibration support, not just the feature list.

The best 360 review software
A 360 review collects feedback from a person's manager, peers, direct reports and sometimes customers, then packages it into one review cycle. Most managers run these once or twice a year because the logistics are painful: chasing nominations, guarding anonymity, summarizing comments. The nine platforms below handle the mechanics, and they differ mostly on price transparency, depth of customization and what else they bundle in.
#1
Lattice
Best for: Companies running structured, multi-cycle performance programs
Visit lattice.com
Starting price$10/user/month (Performance plan, billed annually)
Free planNo
Lattice is the default pick for HR teams that want performance reviews to be a real system rather than a form. The Performance plan covers customizable review cycles, self and peer assessments, 360 feedback, calibration and nine-box talent views. Because Lattice sells reviews, goals, engagement and compensation as separate modules, you can start with reviews alone and add the rest later.
The catch is cost at scale. Each module adds per-seat fees, annual billing is the only option, and the $4,000 yearly minimum effectively rules out teams under about 40 people on the lower modules. Lattice publishes its prices, which is rare in this category, and the Foundations bundle at $13/user/month for Performance plus Goals and OKRs is the typical entry point for review-led programs.
What we like- Deep review customization with question banks, cycles and calibration views
- Modules for engagement, goals and compensation can be added as the company grows
- Analytics included on all base products
Watch out for- Add-ons for compensation (+$6) and growth (+$4) push per-seat costs up fast
- $4,000 annual minimum makes it expensive for small teams
#2
15Five
Best for: Manager coaching culture built on weekly check-ins
Visit 15five.com
Starting price$11/user/month (Perform plan, billed annually)
Free planFree trial
Where Lattice starts with the review cycle, 15Five starts with the weekly check-in. Managers ask their reports a few structured questions every week, and that stream of feedback feeds into formal reviews, which now include 360 input on the Perform plan. If your problem is reviews that surprise everyone because nothing was written down all year, 15Five attacks the root cause.
Pricing is published and simple: Engage at $4 for surveys, Perform at $11 for reviews and 360s, Total Platform at $16 for everything plus manager training. The add-on shelf (Kona AI coach, compensation, meeting assistant) can inflate the bill, and some reviewers note check-in questions get repetitive without customization.
What we like- Fully published pricing from $4 to $16 per user/month
- Weekly check-ins, 1:1s and High Five recognition build continuous feedback habits
- AI-assisted review drafting and 360s included in Perform
Watch out for- 360 feedback, OKRs and the talent matrix sit in the $11 Perform tier, not the cheaper Engage tier
- Coaching add-ons like Kona AI cost extra per manager
#3
Culture Amp
Best for: Data-driven HR teams that want engagement benchmarks with performance
Visit cultureamp.com
Starting priceSee website (custom quote, estimates start around $4,500/year minimum)
Free planNo
Culture Amp built its name on engagement surveys, then added performance reviews and 360 feedback (in the Perform module) on top of the same data platform. The concrete advantage is benchmarking: results can be compared against thousands of other organizations, which gives a 3.9 out of 5 an actual meaning. For mid-market and enterprise HR teams that run listening programs alongside reviews, that combination is hard to replace.
The trade is transparency and cost. Pricing is quote-based, implementation takes weeks, and the basic packages lack HRIS integration. Third-party estimates put basic plans around $9 to $14 per employee/month with a $4,500 annual floor. If you need a price this week, Culture Amp will slow you down.
What we like- The largest benchmark dataset in the category for comparing engagement results
- Survey templates designed by organizational psychologists
- Performance, engagement and development share one data layer
Watch out for- No published pricing, so every deal is a sales conversation
- Entry cost is high for smaller teams
#4
Leapsome
Best for: Mid-size and growing companies wanting HRIS, reviews and learning in one platform
Visit leapsome.com
Starting priceSee website (modular, roughly $8-15/user/month estimated by reviewers)
Free planFree trial (14 days)
Leapsome is the all-in-one option for companies that want reviews connected to everything else: goals, learning, surveys and compensation all live on one record per employee. The platform includes 360 reviews, review automations, competency frameworks and cross-cycle analytics. For globally distributed teams, especially those with European staff, the localization and compliance posture stand out.
The honest catch is discoverability. Users praise the breadth but complain that finding the right data takes too many clicks, and goal management needs manual updates. Pricing is module-based with no published numbers, so budget for a sales process. Estimates from third-party sources cluster around $8 to $15 per user/month for typical deployments.
What we like- Reviews, goals, surveys, learning paths and compensation share one employee record
- Strong European compliance story (GDPR, ISO 27001) and 38-language support
- AI drafts review summaries from feedback and goal data
Watch out for- No published prices, each module needs a quote
- Reviewers consistently flag the UI as hard to navigate when hunting for specific data
Starting price$3/user/month (Launch plan, billed annually)
Free planFree trial (30 days)
For a lot of teams, Small Improvements is all the 360 tool they will ever need. Launch at $3 covers performance reviews and praise; Grow at $6 adds 360-degree feedback, objectives, 1:1s and pulse surveys; the $9 top tier adds full customization and deeper integrations. The terminology and visibility of each cycle are customizable, which matters when you want peer feedback visible to managers but not to the person being reviewed.
Setup is quick and there are no setup fees. The company offers volume discounts over 200 employees and a 30-day trial. The ceiling is real: very large or complex organizations outgrow it, and the lightest plan is deliberately sparse. For 50 to 1,000 people running annual or semi-annual cycles, it hits the value spot.
What we like- Clear three-tier pricing from $3 to $9 per user/month
- 360 feedback included from the $6 Grow tier
- Lightweight interface that needs little training
Watch out for- Pulse surveys are missing from the entry Launch tier
- Advanced customization and some integrations need the $9 top tier
#6
Engagedly
Best for: Mid-market organizations combining performance, learning and recognition
Visit engagedly.com
Starting priceSee website (modular quote; reviewers report Manage Performance at $5-8/user/month)
Free planNo
Engagedly pitches the widest suite here: performance management, 360 feedback, OKRs, a built-in learning platform, recognition, engagement surveys, talent mobility and compensation, all under one AI assistant. Customizable review cycles with nine-box calibration handle the 360 mechanics, and the real-time feedback and praise walls give employees ways to contribute between cycles.
The suites are priced separately (Manage Performance $5-8, Learn & Grow $3-5, others $2 each, per reviewer reports), which lets you buy only what you need, but the $7,500 yearly minimum means the realistic floor is higher than the per-seat math suggests. Reviewers praise the responsive success managers and the simple interface, though the breadth can overwhelm smaller teams.
What we like- One ecosystem for reviews, 360 feedback, goals, learning, engagement and recognition
- Dedicated success manager included with every account
- Marissa AI assistant included across suites at no extra charge
Watch out for- Pricing is quote-based despite third-party price ranges
- The $7,500 annual minimum puts it out of reach for small teams
- The full suite may be more than small companies need
#7
PerformYard
Best for: HR teams with unusual review processes that need deep configuration
Visit performyard.com
Starting price$5/user/month (Performance Management plan, billed annually)
Free planNo
PerformYard earns its place on configuration power. If your review process has multiple tracks, project-based cycles, custom question types or unusual approval chains, PerformYard bends further than tools at this price usually do. The $5 Performance Management plan covers reviews, check-ins, goals, continuous feedback and reporting, with add-ons for AI, engagement, meetings and surveys priced on top.
Customers consistently praise the support: dedicated success managers, hands-on onboarding and no extra implementation fees are unusual at this price. The weaknesses are calibration tooling, which reviewers call clunky, and reporting that can feel shallow when you need granular cuts. No free trial is advertised, so evaluation runs through a demo.
What we like- Extremely configurable review cycles, question types and cadences
- Onboarding, training and a dedicated success manager included at no extra charge
- No hidden fees or setup costs
Watch out for- Calibration views and custom reporting feel limited next to pricier rivals
- No built-in HR utilities like onboarding workflows or a directory
- Add-ons for AI, engagement and meetings stack up
Starting price$8/user/month (Performance plan, billed annually)
Free planNo
Betterworks was historically a quote-only enterprise vendor, but it now publishes pricing: $8 per user/month for the core Performance platform and $9 with Talent Intelligence, which puts it at the market median. The product ties 360 feedback, check-ins and calibration to OKRs and goal progress, with AI assists for writing feedback and summarizing conversations. Companies running real OKR programs get more from it than those running a once-a-year review.
The vendor says the platform adds the most value above 500 employees, and the process weight shows it. Implementation fees in the tens of thousands are reported for enterprise deployments, and there is no self-serve trial. A limited-time $1/user promo existed with a three-year lock-in; model the full contract term, not the promo year.
What we like- Now publishes list pricing ($8 Performance, $9 with Talent Intelligence), rare for an enterprise tool
- Deep goal and OKR alignment tied directly to reviews
- Calibration, check-ins and continuous feedback included
Watch out for- Best suited to 500-plus employee organizations, overkill for small teams
- No free tier or self-serve trial
- Implementation services can add significant cost at enterprise scale
Starting priceFree (up to 10 users); paid plans billed per user
Free planYes
Teamflect takes a different route: instead of another web app, it puts reviews, 360 feedback, goals and 1:1s inside Microsoft Teams and Outlook, where employees already work. For companies standardized on Microsoft 365, that removes the biggest adoption barrier, the login nobody remembers. Feedback requests, check-ins and review cycles all run without leaving the flow of work.
The free tier for up to 10 users makes it the cheapest way to pilot a 360 process. Paid plans are modestly priced. The trade is scope: if you need calibration suites, engagement surveys and compensation in one system, Teamflect is thinner than the dedicated platforms above. For SMBs on Microsoft, it is often enough.
What we like- The only genuine free tier in this list, free for up to 10 users
- Performance management runs natively inside Microsoft Teams and Outlook
- Paid plans stay affordable for SMBs
Watch out for- Feature depth cannot match dedicated review platforms
- Heavy dependence on the Microsoft ecosystem
- Best suited to smaller and mid-size teams
How we chose
We shortlisted tools that exist today and include 360 feedback as a real feature, not an add-on spreadsheet. For each, we checked the vendor's own pricing page or the most recent third-party pricing data when the vendor publishes nothing, and we read public reviews on G2, Capterra and Reddit for recurring complaints about anonymity handling, calibration quality and setup effort. We favored a mix of established platforms and lower-cost options, and we excluded vendors with no current public presence or no genuine 360 functionality.
What to check before you buy
Start with anonymity rules. A 360 review fails if people do not trust that their comments stay anonymous, so ask each vendor how anonymity thresholds work: how many reviewers are needed before comments are shown, and whether admins can ever see attributed raw text. Small teams need explicit guarantees, because a three-person peer group is effectively identifiable.
Next, map your review cycle to the product. Some tools assume one annual cycle; others handle quarterly check-ins, project-based reviews and probation cycles in parallel. Ask whether you can run different cycles for different departments at the same time, and what happens to historical data when someone changes teams.
Price the whole contract, not the per-seat headline. Annual-only billing is the norm in this category, and minimums are common: Lattice's $4,000 annual floor and Engagedly's $7,500 floor change the real cost for teams under 50 people. Add-ons for compensation, learning or AI coaching are often priced separately. Get implementation costs and the renewal price in writing before you sign.
Finally, plan the follow-up. The software collects the feedback, but development conversations happen in 1:1s. Tools with built-in 1:1 agendas and goal tracking (15Five, Leapsome, Small Improvements) make it easier to turn review output into action plans instead of PDFs nobody opens.
Pricing models explained
Most 360 platforms bill per user per month on annual contracts, and the price you pay tracks the modules you buy. Entry points in 2026 run from $3 (Small Improvements) to about $15 (full-suite deployments of Leapsome or 15Five Total Platform), with the most common band between $8 and $11.
Three vendors here publish prices: Lattice, 15Five and Small Improvements. The rest are quote-based, which means your price depends on headcount, modules and contract length. When a vendor quotes, ask for the per-module breakdown and the price at renewal, because first-year discounts are common and second-year prices are not always discounted.
Frequently asked questions
What is 360 review software?
It is software that runs 360-degree feedback: collecting structured input about an employee from their manager, peers, direct reports and sometimes external contacts, then compiling it into a review. Most tools also handle goal tracking, 1:1 meetings and calibration so the feedback leads somewhere.
How much does 360 review software cost?
Published prices in 2026 range from $3 per user/month (Small Improvements) to $16 (15Five Total Platform), all billed annually. Quote-based vendors like Culture Amp, Leapsome and Engagedly typically land between $5 and $15 per user/month for mid-size deployments, with annual minimums of $4,000 to $7,500.
How do you keep 360 feedback anonymous?
Set a minimum reviewer threshold (usually 3 to 5) before peer comments are shown, so no one can guess who wrote what. Choose a tool that enforces the threshold automatically rather than relying on admins to aggregate spreadsheets, and tell employees the rule in advance.
How often should we run 360 reviews?
Most companies run full 360 cycles once or twice a year, with continuous feedback and quarterly check-ins between cycles. Running them more often than quarterly usually creates survey fatigue and thinner responses.
Can small teams use 360 review software?
Yes, but pick carefully. Small Improvements at $3 and PerformYard at $5 publish low per-seat prices, and Teamflect is free under 10 users. Avoid platforms with high annual minimums (Lattice at $4,000, Engagedly at $7,500) unless your headcount makes the math work.
Do we need engagement surveys too?
Not necessarily. If your only job is better reviews, a review-led tool like PerformYard or Small Improvements is cheaper than a full engagement suite. Buy the engagement module only if HR plans to act on survey data, because unanswered surveys damage trust faster than no surveys.
