Overview
15Five is a performance management and engagement platform that states it has more than 3,000 customers and serves 250,000 employees.[6] Its product is organised into Engage (surveys and engagement analytics), Perform (reviews, goals, check-ins and one-on-ones), Compensation, Manager Products and an outcomes dashboard, with an AI layer branded Kona that includes a meeting notetaker and a coach for managers.[6]
15Five publishes its prices. Engage costs US$4, Perform US$11 and the Total Platform US$16 per user per month, all billed annually. Add-ons include manager training content at US$49 per manager per month, live coaching sold in credits at US$399 each, the Kona Notetaker at US$2 per employee per month, the Kona Coach at US$19 per manager per month, and compensation packages at US$9 to US$11 per user per month. The page notes that pricing is subject to change and was updated in February 2026.[5]
The product’s distinguishing feature is its emphasis on the manager: survey results feed weekly check-ins, and the company sells human coaching alongside software. Limitations include annual-only billing, no free trial mentioned on the pricing page, and add-on costs that can exceed the base licence for organisations buying coaching.[5]
