Best for reviews, goals and engagement for HR teams
Lattice sells reviews, goals, engagement surveys and analytics, from $4 to $13 per seat a month billed annually. The catch is a $4,000 minimum annual agreement, so small teams pay far more per head than the price list suggests. There's no free plan, no self-serve checkout, and it isn't payroll or an HR record system.
Who Lattice is for
- Fits if you have a sizeable team and want reviews and goals in one place
- Works for HR teams that want engagement surveys and reviews from one vendor
Who Lattice is not for
- Skip it if you are a small team, as the minimum annual agreement is $4,000
- Not for you if you want payroll or employee records, as it has neither
- Pricey if you add compensation (+$6 a seat) or Grow (+$4 a seat)
- Watch out: all contracts are billed annually in US dollars, with no self-serve checkout
- Skip it if you want a free plan or trial, as none is listed

Keep Lattice, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Lattice you would be making an AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 51 of the 63 other HR software grade higher. It costs $48 a year.
What you could make
- Goals, surveys and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it.
- A bot that joins your calls and turns the talk into notes.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- It plugs into other products, Workday, BambooHR and HiBob among them.
What this rests on. Lattice’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
