Alternatives to Lattice
Performance reviews, goals, and engagement in one platform.
6 hand-curated alternatives from MintedSaaS's directory. See the Lattice listing →
Lattice is an all-in-one platform for performance management, goal tracking, and employee engagement. It combines 360-degree reviews, OKR planning, 1-on-1 meeting tools, and pulse surveys into a single interface. The product targets mid-market to enterprise companies that want to consolidate performance workflows and reduce tool sprawl. Lattice sits in the broader people operations software category, competing against standalone review platforms, learning management systems, and engagement tools. Companies typically implement it to centralize feedback cycles that once lived across spreadsheets, email threads, or disconnected point solutions.
Most Lattice users are HR teams and people operations leaders who run annual or biannual performance cycles and need visibility into goal progress across departments. The platform's workflow is built around the review calendar—setting up participants, routing feedback, aggregating scores, and generating reports for calibration meetings. Organizations use it to enforce consistent rating scales, track competency development, and surface engagement trends through survey data. Buyers who choose Lattice tend to have mature HR operations and want a single dashboard rather than piecing together separate tools for reviews, goals, and culture measurement.

FAQ
What are the best alternatives to Lattice?
AskNicely, Sapling, Bonusly, Officevibe, Culture Amp, and 15Five each solve different parts of the performance and engagement problem. AskNicely focuses on customer feedback loops; Sapling emphasizes lightweight performance snapshots; Bonusly targets peer-to-peer recognition and frequent feedback; Officevibe measures engagement through pulse surveys; Culture Amp builds performance reviews around employee listening; 15Five specializes in 1-on-1 meeting structure and goal tracking. Your choice depends on whether you need a replacement for Lattice's all-in-one approach or would rather mix smaller, specialized tools.
Are there free alternatives to Lattice?
Most commercial performance review platforms charge per-employee-per-month and don't offer significant free tiers. Bonusly has a limited free plan for peer recognition only. If you need free tools, you'll have better luck with open-source options or spreadsheet templates, though these lack the workflow automation and reporting that Lattice provides.
Which features matter most when choosing a performance review platform?
Decide based on whether you need annual cycle management (formal reviews, calibration workflows, score visibility), continuous feedback loops (regular check-ins, lightweight snapshots), or engagement measurement (surveys, pulse data). Then check whether the platform supports the participants your company uses—manager-only, multi-rater, self-assessment, skip-level feedback—and whether integration with your HRIS system matters for data syncing.
Can I run performance reviews in Lattice alternatives without buying separate engagement tools?
Culture Amp and 15Five include both review and engagement features built-in, similar to Lattice. Sapling, AskNicely, and Officevibe are narrower—Sapling is strong on reviews, AskNicely on customer-facing feedback, Officevibe on pulse surveys. If consolidation is your goal, Culture Amp or 15Five will get you closest to Lattice's footprint.
Do Lattice alternatives integrate with ATS and payroll systems?
Most integrate with major HRIS platforms like Workday, BambooHR, and SuccessFactors via API or pre-built connectors. Check each vendor's integration library before buying, especially if you need real-time sync between your HRIS and performance data. Single-purpose tools like AskNicely often have narrower HRIS coverage than full-stack platforms like Culture Amp.
What happens to review data when you switch platforms?
Most vendors export historical feedback and scores as CSV or PDF, but you'll lose interactive workflows and audit trails. Plan for a manual data migration or hire a consultant if you need clean, structured import into the new system. Check the export format before signing—some platforms make extraction difficult.
Which Lattice alternatives work best for remote or distributed teams?
All six alternatives support fully distributed workflows with asynchronous feedback and online surveys. The differences lie in user experience: Sapling and 15Five have lighter interfaces suited to frequent async check-ins; Culture Amp and Officevibe emphasize survey design for listening at scale; Bonusly prioritizes real-time recognition and chat integration; AskNicely works best if feedback collection is your primary need.
Can I use Lattice alternatives just for goals without doing performance reviews?
15Five is built partly around goal tracking and 1-on-1 cadence, so it works well if goals are your main focus. Sapling is review-centric. Bonusly and Officevibe don't include formal goal management. If goals are your sole need, you may be better off with dedicated OKR tools like Lattice's built-in feature rather than these alternatives.
