Part 01 · Overview

Welcome

What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first

1.6

GPA, above 1 of the 63 other HR software we grade

Lattice is a people-management platform built around performance reviews, goals and OKRs, and employee engagement surveys. A base package adds 1:1 meetings, weekly updates, feedback, analytics and an AI agent, and compensation and career-growth tools are priced as add-ons. It is sold per seat on annual contracts with a minimum spend.

To get you started, here are 8 things to know about Lattice, taken from its own pages and our grades.

Review cycles, goals and survey programs have to be built before use.
From our grade for ease of use
  1. 1

    Best for reviews, goals and engagement for HR teams

    There's no free plan, no self-serve checkout, and it isn't payroll or an HR record system.

  2. 2

    Paid plans start at $4 a month for each person

    As its pricing page puts it: $4 per seat / month for Engagement; Foundations is $13, billed annually.

  3. 3

    It runs on Web

  4. 4

    Performance reviews

    Review cycles with calibration, talent reviews, promotions, performance improvement plans and succession planning.

  5. 5

    Goals and OKRs

    Cascading goals with progress updates and reminders, and Salesforce and Jira integrations for pulling in progress.

  6. 6

    Engagement surveys

    Pulse and other surveys, onboarding and exit surveys, eNPS and action planning, with AI analysis of the results.

  7. 7

    A 1.6 GPA, above 1 of 63

    That is against the other HR software we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.

  8. 8

    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.

The report card

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.

ToolGPA report cardLatticeGraded Nov 12, 2026
SubjectGradeComment
Value for moneyD$4 to $13 per seat a month, but with a $4,000 minimum annual agreement. For 5 people that works out to about $67 a head a month. Compensation adds $6 and Grow $4.
Free plan and trialFNo free plan and no trial; pricing leads to a demo or a custom quote.
FeaturesCReviews, calibration, goals and OKRs, engagement and an AI agent. It has no payroll or core employee records.
Ease of useCNo store rating on record. Review cycles, goals and survey programs have to be built before use.
Platforms and integrationsBWeb only, with 8 integrations on record including Salesforce and Jira.
Grade point averageWeak, out of 4.01.6

An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

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 it 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

Good to know

Good for

  • HR teams running review cycles and goal-setting across a company
  • Companies that want engagement surveys tied to the same system
  • Organizations already using an HRIS such as Workday or BambooHR as the record system

Worth knowing

  • The minimum annual agreement is $4,000, and all contracts are billed annually in US dollars.
  • Compensation costs $6 more per seat a month and Grow costs $4 more; both are add-ons to a base product.
  • It is not a full HR system: it has no payroll or core employee records on the pricing page.
  • There is no free plan or self-serve checkout; pricing leads to a demo or a custom quote.

Keep it, or make your own?

Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.

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.
