Which one is for you
Pick Small Improvements if
- Fits if you run reviews for 20 or more people and already have an HR system
- Works for teams that want 360 feedback and 1:1s in one tool
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you have fewer than 20 people, since every plan has a user minimum
- Pricey if you need 360 feedback, 1:1s or pulse surveys, which start on Grow at $6
- Watch out: volume discounts start at 200 users on Elevate or 1,000 on Grow
- Too light for HR records, as it syncs with an HR system rather than replacing it
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 we grade them
| 2.2GPASmall ImprovementsFair | 2.4GPASynergitaFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C$3 a user a month is in the cheapest quarter, but the 20-user minimum means at least $60 a month, so one person cannot buy it. Grow at $6 and Elevate at $9 are where 360 feedback and 1:1s sit. | B$2 to $7 a user a month on yearly billing, and the cheapest quarter of this category starts at $2. |
| Free plan and trial | CA 30-day free trial. The listing does not say whether it needs a card, and there is no free plan. | COKR Starter is free for 3 users with 1 company, 3 team and 5 individual objectives, plus a 7-day trial on the performance plans. You'll hit those limits. |
| Features | CReviews, 360 feedback, objectives, 1:1s, pulse surveys and AI features. Launch covers essential reviews and praise only, and it is not an HRIS. | COKRs, reviews and engagement, but the listing says OKR and performance are separate products and cascading OKRs, Slack, Jira and SSO sit on the $6 OKR Growth plan. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. It syncs with HR systems and needs reviews built before it is useful. | CNo store rating on record, and you'd set it up with your own people data first, so it's an ordinary C. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb only, with Slack, Google Workspace, Okta, BambooHR, Personio, Rippling, Workday and Workable listed. | BWeb only, but seven listed integrations. No phone or desktop app named. |
| Best for | performance reviews from $3 a seat, 20 minimum | OKRs and performance reviews priced per seat |

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.
