Leapsome buyers who start looking elsewhere usually do so over how the bill is assembled: one line per module, an estimator that has to be confirmed with sales, and an HRIS, recruiting and time-tracking layer they never asked for. The alternatives below range from single-package products to review specialists and goal-first tools.
Short answer: Treams, Teamflect and Small Improvements head the list of Leapsome alternatives drawn from our performance management ranking. Challengers take places 1 to 3 here. Big brands follow in the order of our category ranking. Treams is the one to try if you would rather buy one per-employee pack with HR-system connections such as AFAS or Visma than assemble modules one by one. The 12 entries that follow are all ranked in Best Performance Management Software in 2026; each one explains what sets it apart from Leapsome.
Vendors can pay for more visibility on this website, for example a higher place in a ranking or more room on a page. Commercial relationships can also affect which products we feature and how prominently. Every vendor link is marked the same, whatever the arrangement behind it. How that works.
Built for: European mid-market firms wanting reviews, goals and learning together
Not for: Small teams that only need a simple annual appraisal
01
Why buyers look past Leapsome
01
Every module is its own line on the invoice
Reviews, goals, surveys, learning, compensation, recruiting and time tracking are each listed separately on Leapsome's euro price list, and the HRIS comes on top at two levels. A team that needs four of them has to add four lines, then ask sales what the multi-module and volume discounts do to the sum, because the public estimator does not include them.
02
The estimator and the list do not agree
Leapsome's pricing page carries a worked estimate for 200 employees that does not equal the sum of the per-employee list prices shown beside it, and tells the reader to confirm the amount with sales. For a buyer who wants to put three vendors in one spreadsheet, that is the reason to prefer products whose packages are priced as a whole.
03
A platform you configure before you use
Leapsome is a Berlin company whose product has grown from reviews into an HRIS with workflows, AI agents and integrations. Companies that wanted a review cycle by next quarter can find the set-up closer to a project than a switch-on, and the unused modules still shape the contract.
steering company-wide KPIs and initiatives is the need and appraisals are handled elsewhere

What each one does differently

Treams
Netherlands · Published
Eindhoven-based Treams sells three packs instead of a module list: a Flow pack at 6.50 euros and a Momentum pack at 9 euros per employee per month plus Compound by quote, with integrations and security counted in. Inside the packs sit goals and OKRs, appraisal and 1:1 conversations, 360 feedback, pulse surveys with eNPS, a 9-grid talent review, a skill matrix and a reward module. AI assistance comes with every pack. Volume discounts start at 100 employees, and testing is by demo, not by free trial.
Switch from Leapsome if you would rather buy one per-employee pack with HR-system connections such as AFAS or Visma than assemble modules one by one.
Teamflect, a London company, puts reviews, 360 feedback, goals and OKRs, surveys and 1-on-1 meetings into Microsoft Teams and Outlook. There is a free Starter plan for up to ten users, and Essential and Professional come with a 30-day trial; Professional adds development plans and succession planning. Its pricing page lists two different price sets for the paid plans, so ask which applies before budgeting.
Switch from Leapsome if everyone already works in Microsoft Teams and you want the review cycle to live there too.
Small Improvements is a Berlin vendor with three published tiers at $3, $6 and $9 per user per month on annual billing, requiring 20, 20 and 30 users at least. The scope is deliberately narrow: review cycles, 360 feedback, 1:1 notes, goals and pulse surveys, with no compensation module. A 30-day trial is available, so a small HR team can test the whole thing before any quote.
Switch from Leapsome if a company of twenty to two hundred people wants a review tool with a tariff it can read in one minute.
15Five publishes three tiers per user per month on annual billing: Engage at $4, Perform at $11 and Total Platform at $16. The Perform tier combines OKRs, 360 feedback, a talent matrix and career paths, and an AI layer is aimed at coaching managers. Weekly check-ins feed the review, which is the opposite rhythm to an annual module-by-module rollout.
Switch from Leapsome if managers should write something every week and the review should assemble itself from it.
Perdoo GmbH starts from strategy instead of appraisal: strategy maps, OKRs and KPIs come first, with check-ins and reviews around them. Up to five users are free; beyond that Premium costs 6.40 euros and Supreme 8 euros per user per month on annual billing. That makes it a goal tool with HR features, not a talent suite with a goals tab.
Switch from Leapsome if the real need is alignment on company objectives and the formal appraisal round comes second.
Engagedly is priced between $5 and $8 per user per month on annual billing, with a yearly floor of $7,500. The suite bundles 360 feedback, 9-box assessments, calibration and OKRs in one purchase, which replaces several Leapsome module lines at once. The minimum rules it out for very small teams.
Switch from Leapsome if you want calibration, 9-box and 360 in one bundle and have enough staff to clear the minimum.
Workleap, the successor to Officevibe, is Montreal-based and sells annual plans: Standard from $4,999 and Pro from $11,999, each plus $32 per manager per month. Pulse surveys, recognition, meetings and 1:1s, goals and performance reviews are all inside the plan, and Enterprise is custom above 250 employees. No free trial is mentioned.
Switch from Leapsome if the first problem is engagement and manager one-to-ones, and you want the price per year stated up front.
PerformYard charges $5 to $15 per person per month depending on whether you buy Performance alone or the Talent Development suite, and assigns each customer a named support specialist without extra fee. Its pitch is configurability: your own forms, approval chains and rating workflows, with meetings, goals and surveys around them.
Switch from Leapsome if your appraisal forms and approval steps already exist and the software has to copy them.
Weekdone grew out of Tallinn and organises work around weekly progress reports and OKRs. Every feature is free for up to three users, and the vendor says data is stored in the EU. Conversations and recognition are included, while review cycles, calibration and compensation are not part of the product.
Switch from Leapsome if a small team needs weekly updates and OKRs with EU storage and no appraisal machinery.
Betterworks sells two per-user tiers, $8 for Performance and $9 once Talent Intelligence is added, and quotes Enterprise separately. The lower tier handles goals, OKRs, feedback, review cycles and 1:1s; the upper one brings in calibration sessions, succession views and skills data. It is built to give large organisations defensible ratings, not to be a general HR platform.
Switch from Leapsome if rating calibration and succession planning across a big workforce outweigh having an HRIS in the same tool.
Elevo comes from Montreuil near Paris and is French-language first, in the product, documentation and support. It handles annual reviews, objectives, people reviews, 360 feedback, training, skills, eNPS and pay. No prices are shown on its pages, and a combination with Assessio has been announced, so ask about the roadmap.
Switch from Leapsome if your HR team works in French and needs appraisals, skills and pay handled in a single French-language product.
Workpath GmbH, a Munich company, solves a different problem from an appraisal tool: it lines up KPIs, goals, initiatives and resources for company strategy, and is priced by consultation module by module. It has no employee review or feedback function, so it can replace only the goals side of Leapsome.
Switch from Leapsome if steering company-wide KPIs and initiatives is the need and appraisals are handled elsewhere.
Staying with Leapsome makes sense if reviews, goals, surveys, learning and an HRIS should share one data model and the per-module list prices in euros fit your headcount. The pricing page offers a 14-day trial and states no minimum seat count, and the company sits in Berlin, which matters to buyers who want a German counterparty. If several modules are already live, replacing them one by one may cost more than it saves.

What moving off Leapsome involves
01
Take stock of what you actually switched on
List every Leapsome module in use: review cycles, goals, surveys, learning, compensation, recruiting, time tracking. Each one needs a home in the new setup, and the ones nobody opened this year are a chance to drop scope instead of carrying it over.
02
Move surveys, learning and pay data deliberately
Survey history, learning records and compensation data are the pieces least likely to move in a standard export. Ask each shortlisted vendor which of them it imports, and agree who keeps the old archive and for how long.
03
Rebuild cycles and integrations, then run a pilot
Review templates, rating scales and goal cascades will have to be rebuilt in the new tool, as will the HR-system and chat connections. Run one department through a full cycle before the whole company moves.

Questions about replacing Leapsome
7 answers
Which tool should you look at first if Leapsome's module prices are the problem?
Treams, because it sells three packs per employee per month (Flow €6.50, Momentum €9, Compound on request) with integrations and security included instead of a list of modules.
Small Improvements, 15Five and Teamflect also publish per-user tariffs that cover reviews, feedback and goals in one price.
Is there an alternative to Leapsome for law firms or accountancy firms?
Treams names legal, consultancy and finance as sectors it serves, and its customer list includes De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek.
Appraisal and 1:1 conversations, 360 feedback and a 9-grid talent review are all part of it. No function aimed specifically at law or accountancy is described, so test the fit in a demo.
What replaces Leapsome in a company of 50 to 1,000 people?
At Treams the licence is charged per employee per month, with a discount for volumes from 100 employees and one for multi-year contracts; a skill matrix and succession planning serve larger teams.
Engagedly and Betterworks also aim at larger workforces, with yearly minimums or quotes to check.
Which alternative to Leapsome connects to AFAS, Visma or Nmbrs?
Treams connects to AFAS, Visma, Youforce, Nmbrs and six other HR or payroll systems, and to Slack, Teams, Outlook, Gmail and SCIM 2.0, with integrations inside the per-employee price. For any other product, read its integration page before booking a demo.
Does Leapsome have an AI-focused alternative?
Treams includes AI in all packs: preparing and summarising 1:1s, recording and summarising conversations (Momentum) and employee and talent suggestions (Compound).
The models run in an EU AWS region, are not trained on customer data and only propose. Leapsome itself lists AI agents in its Pro HRIS.
Can you try Leapsome before buying, and what do the alternatives offer?
Leapsome's pricing page lists a 14-day free trial and a sandbox after a sales consultation. Teamflect and Perdoo have free plans for small teams, Small Improvements gives 30 days, and Treams works through a demo and a tailored test environment.
Which Leapsome alternative suits managers who run their own teams?
Treams is aimed at managers working with goals, appraisal and 1:1 conversations in daily work, and 15Five turns weekly check-ins into the review. Teamflect fits managers who already live in Microsoft Teams.
