Trakstar is a talent management suite made up of Perform (reviews, 360-degree feedback, goals and engagement surveys), Hire (applicant tracking), Learn (training courses) and Insights (workforce analytics). Trakstar says it was acquired by Mitratech in April 2023. Pricing is by quote only.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about Trakstar, taken from its own pages and our grades.

The report card
Best for performance and hiring modules, by quote
Trakstar is a modular suite for reviews, hiring and learning. Its pricing page is a quote form hosted on Mitratech's site, and it does not say which modules a quote covers.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No price is published, so value sits at the middle of the category by default. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan and no trial on record. The pricing page is a quote request. |
| Features | C | Reviews, engagement surveys, applicant tracking, learning and analytics, split across separate modules. The listing does not say which are in a quote. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. A modular suite has to be set up and the modules picked. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, and no integrations are listed in our record. |
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 Trakstar is for
- Fits if you want reviews, hiring and learning from one maker
- Works for HR teams happy to buy modules one at a time
Who it is not for
- Not for you if you want a price first, as the pricing page is only a quote form
- Watch out: the pricing page sits on Mitratech's site, which acquired Trakstar in April 2023 according to its homepage
- Skip it if you want to try before buying, since no trial is listed
- Too light for budgeting, as the page does not say what a quote includes
Good to know
Good for
- HR teams that want performance, hiring and training under one vendor
- Companies that run formal competency-based or 360 reviews
Worth knowing
- No prices are published: the pricing page is a quote request form, so the cost is unverified.
- The suite is modular (Perform, Hire, Learn, Insights), and the pricing page does not say which parts a quote includes.
- The pricing page now sits on Mitratech's site, which acquired Trakstar in April 2023, according to Trakstar's homepage.
Part 02 · Pricing
What it costs
Every plan, the free plan, ways to pay less and how prices have moved
Trakstar's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site.
No price is published, so value sits at the middle of the category by default.
We could not confirm Trakstar’s current prices from its own site, so this guide lists no plans. trakstar.com has them.

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
The plain part of Trakstar you could make: goals, surveys, applicant tracking and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 1 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 51 of the 63 other HR software grade higher.
What you could make
- Goals, surveys, applicant tracking and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
What this rests on. Trakstar’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.
