Which one is for you
Pick PerformYard if
- Fits if you want reviews and goals in one tool and already have an HR system to sync from
- Works for companies that want onboarding and a success manager included in the price
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you land at the top of the range, since $15 a seat is well above the category's middle
- Skip it if you want to try first, because there is no free plan or trial
- Not for you if you need compensation planning or coaching in the base price, as Talent Development is a separate product
- Watch out: the page does not say which employee counts get which rate
Pick Synergita if
- Fits if you want OKRs for a very small team on the free plan
- Works for teams that want to pay a few dollars a seat for reviews
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you're past 3 users: the free OKR plan stops there
- Pricey if you want cascading OKRs, Slack, Jira or SSO, which need the $6 OKR Growth plan
- Watch out: OKR and performance are separate price lists, so both means two subscriptions
- Skip it if you want mobile apps, as only a web app is listed

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
