15Five Engage is a focused engagement plan at $4 per user per month billed annually. Surveys are built on validated research, and the plan supports targeted assessments with custom questions, pulse checks, change management surveys and time-triggered lifecycle surveys from onboarding to exit. Results appear in dynamic heat maps and filtered breakdowns, and AI condenses open-text answers into themes. The Predictive Impact Model ranks which engagement factors will move results most, which helps HR pick one or two priorities instead of chasing every low score. Action planning and industry benchmarking are included, along with eNPS tracking. Perform at $11 adds AI-assisted reviews, OKRs, 360 reviews and 1-on-1s, and Total Platform at $16 bundles both with manager microlearnings. Coaching products such as Kona and live manager coaching are priced separately. For a People team that wants solid engagement science and a clear price, 15Five is a strong value.
