Deep dive comparison

AI-assisted check-in cycles

Both Workleap and 15Five use AI to amplify performance management. 15Five offers AI-backed structured feedback and review cycles, centering on regular check-ins and goals. Workleap’s AI is integrated across the entire platform, from goal setting to performance reviews, creating a more holistic employee experience. Using the insights from Workleap AI, leaders can spot coaching moments, make actionable suggestions, and skip the manual admin work.

Open communication & recognition

While 15Five’s platform emphasizes frequent check-ins to maintain the team’s workplace engagement, Workleap builds on those features with continuous feedback loops that replace one-off engagement surveys. Fully-integrated AI analyzes the data from team sentiments, giving leadership the necessary information to support steady improvement and a positive work environment.

‍

Smart performance insights

By offering basic goal tracking, reviews, and performance, 15Five gives users a simple dashboard for important analytics. But if you want to dig deeper into engagement data, Workleap combines goals, feedback, and survey results, giving you a unified view of your team’s performance.

‍

Compensation alignment

Compensate your team fairly and transparently without any extra steps. Workleap’s compensation tools directly connect your employees’ performance review outcomes and engagement with your pay decisions. 15Five does this, too, but only via a costly add-on module. 

‍

Cross-tool integration

You can integrate with Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Jira on both platforms, but 15Five doesn’t integrate with Confluence or SharePoint. Workleap synthesizes data from these connected tools and Officevibe’s Goals, Good Vibes, and 1:1s to help you write AI performance reviews.

Turnkey simplicity

15Five’s basic setup is fast, but a full rollout takes time and configuration. Workleap is built for a quick launch, with built-in templates, modular setup, and HRIS sync. Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) get a full talent-management system without the administrative headaches.
