Small Improvements does a narrower job than the platforms above it and prices accordingly. The Launch plan at $3 per user per month, billed annually, covers essential performance reviews, praise, a company directory, HRIS integrations and Google sign-in. Most HR teams will want Grow at $6, which adds 360 and anytime feedback, objectives, 1:1 meetings, pulse surveys and a Slack integration. The top plan at $9 unlocks every feature, all integrations, customizations and advanced analytics. Minimums apply: 20 users on Launch and Grow and 30 on the top plan, so the smallest Grow bill is $120 a month. There is a 30-day free trial and you can move to a paid plan from the settings panel without talking to sales. Optional implementation sessions with its SHRM-certified team cost $200 per hour. If you mainly need reviews, feedback and one-on-ones and do not need calibration grids or succession planning, it is the cheapest credible choice.
