Best for reviews, OKRs and surveys as separate modules
Leapsome sells HR records at $7 per employee a month and talent modules such as reviews, goals, engagement and learning at $3 to $7 each. Every module you add raises the bill, so a full set costs well above the starting price. Payroll itself isn't listed, only exports to prepare it.
Who Leapsome is for
- Fits if you want to buy reviews, goals and surveys one module at a time
- Works for firms that also want a basic HR record in the same login
Who Leapsome is not for
- Pricey if you stack modules, since each adds $3 to $7 per employee a month
- Watch out: compensation benchmarks cost $3 more and the learning library from $1
- Not for you if you need payroll, as only prep exports are included
- Skip it if you want a free plan, as only a 14-day trial is listed
- Watch out: the pricing page defaults to euros, which could differ from the dollar figures

Keep Leapsome, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Leapsome you could make: employee records, time off, applicant tracking, goals, surveys and time tracking. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It costs $84 a year.
What you could make
- Employee records, time off, applicant tracking, goals, surveys and time tracking: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- Hooks into the device itself: widgets.
What this rests on. Leapsome’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.
