## Worth knowing

- The page shows the same figures in euros, dollars and pounds with no conversion; the pricing page defaults to euros.
- Prices are per employee per month for each module, so a full set adds up; multi-module and volume discounts are not shown.
- Compensation benchmarks cost $3 more per employee a month, and the learning content library is from $1.
- Payroll prep exports are included, but the pricing page does not list payroll itself.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.2 out of 4**, graded Nov 12, 2026. 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.

- **Value for money: C.** $7 per employee a month for the HR foundation, then $3 to $7 for each talent module. The page shows the same figures in euros, dollars and pounds with no conversion.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** 14-day free trial; the page does not say whether a card is needed. No free plan.
- **Features: C.** HR records, reviews, goals, engagement, learning, recruiting, compensation and time tracking. Payroll isn't listed, only payroll-prep exports.
- **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. Modules, review cycles and attributes all need setting up.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, with an integrations page (4 on record).

## Keep it, 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.

- You could make: Employee records, time off, applicant tracking, goals, surveys and time tracking: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- You could not: Hooks into the device itself: widgets.
