OrgOrgvs15Five

The free 15Five alternative

OrgOrg vs 15Five · Continuous performance management

Free for teams of up to 5. Every app, no feature gates, no credit card. Past 5 people, Pro is $10 per member per month.

15Five made the weekly check-in a product: pulse questions, 1:1s, OKRs, reviews, and engagement surveys, sold per user from $4 to $16 a month on a yearly contract. OrgOrg covers the same workflows in a suite that is free for up to 5 people, with the directory, go links, and on-call beside it. This page lays out the honest tradeoffs.

When OrgOrg is the right pick

Teams that want feedback, reviews, surveys, and goals to live beside their daily tools instead of in a separate HR product. People open OrgOrg for go links and the new tab page every day, and the feedback, the kudos, and the 1:1 agenda come along. It is the right pick when a flat price for every app beats tiers that compound.

When 15Five is the right pick

Companies whose core practice is the weekly written check-in, and that want manager coaching on top: AI briefs, a notetaker, manager training content, and coaching credits. 15Five is the safe pick when manager development is the top priority and an HR partner drives the adoption.

Where OrgOrg wins

  • One price covers continuous feedback, 360 cycles, calibration, engagement surveys, recognition, goals, 1:1s, the directory, groups, go links, and on-call.
  • Free for up to five people, then $10 per member a month, with no yearly contract. 15Five bills yearly and starts at $4 per user for surveys alone.
  • Calibration with Live Rank, which shows halo, anchoring, and recency bias as managers rank.
  • AI writing help and summaries with the model you choose, under your own contract with the provider.
  • Kudos, feedback, 360 results, and survey responses accumulate on one profile, next to the trading card and the badges.

Where 15Five wins

  • The weekly check-in (pulse, wins, challenges) is the core of the product, with a large prompt library.
  • Manager development as a product: AI coaching briefs, a notetaker, microlearning modules, practice prompts, and coaching credits.
  • Engagement surveys with eNPS and industry benchmarks, on the Engage and Total Platform plans.
  • AI-assisted performance reviews, 360 reviews with manager, peer, and upward input, and weighted OKRs.
  • HRIS integrations on every plan, Jira and Salesforce on Perform and up, and an HR dashboard on Total Platform.

How to move from 15Five to OrgOrg

A move from 15Five is a move of the people, the check-in habit, and the cycle shapes. Run one review cycle and one survey in OrgOrg before the contract renews, and keep 15Five read-only until it closes.

  1. Export the record. From 15Five, export check-ins, objectives, engagement surveys, and ratings as CSV, reviews as PDF, and the profiles as CSV. Keep the files: OrgOrg does not import review history.
  2. Set up the org. Connect Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Gusto, or Rippling, and the directory and the org chart fill themselves. The manager chain drives the 360 stages and the survey visibility.
  3. Replace the weekly check-in. Decide what the check-in was for. A pulse becomes an engagement or pulse survey with a release schedule. Wins become kudos in Slack. Blockers become the agenda of the recurring 1:1, which OrgOrg schedules from the calendar.
  4. Recreate the cycle and the goals. Pick 360, manager review, or a custom cycle, set the stage dates, choose a form, and roster the participants. Enter the objectives and key results with their owners and check-in cadence.
  5. Turn on Slack, then let the contract lapse. Install the Slack app so feedback requests, kudos, and survey invitations post where people work. Send the first survey, run the first cycle, and let 15Five end at its term.

The verdict

15Five is the better pick when the weekly check-in is the practice, when manager development is a budget line, and when HR wants benchmarks and training content in one vendor. OrgOrg is the better pick when feedback, 360s, calibration, surveys, goals, and 1:1s should live in the same tool as the directory, go links, and on-call. One flat price covers it: free for up to five people, then $10 per member a month, with no yearly contract.

Frequently asked questions

Does 15Five have a free plan?
No. 15Five sells per user on a yearly contract, from $4 a month for Engage to $16 for Total Platform. Its site offers a demo, not a free plan or a trial. OrgOrg is free for teams of up to 5 people, with every app included.
How much does 15Five cost?
Engage is $4, Perform $11, and Total Platform $16 per user a month, billed yearly. Manager content is $49 per manager a month, Kona Coach $19, the Kona notetaker $2 per employee, a coaching credit $399, and compensation $9 or $11 per user. A 50-person company on Perform pays $6,600 a year before add-ons; OrgOrg is $6,000 for every app.
Is there a free 15Five alternative?
OrgOrg's Feedback app is free for teams of up to 5 people: continuous peer feedback, 360 cycles, calibration, engagement surveys, and recognition. Goals, 1:1s, the directory, and go links are in the same suite. Past 5 people, the whole suite is $10 per member a month.
Does OrgOrg have weekly check-ins like 15Five?
Not as a weekly written form. OrgOrg runs continuous feedback at any time, goal check-ins on a schedule, pulse surveys with a release schedule, and recurring 1:1s with shared agendas. A team that lives by the Friday check-in should weigh that difference first.
What does OrgOrg lack that 15Five has?
The weekly check-in form, industry benchmarks, manager training content and coaching credits, an AI notetaker, compensation management, and the larger integration catalog. OrgOrg covers feedback, reviews, calibration, surveys, goals, 1:1s, and kudos, and adds the directory, go links, and on-call.
Can I move my 15Five data to OrgOrg?
The check-ins, objectives, surveys, and ratings export from 15Five as CSV and the reviews as PDF. OrgOrg does not import them: the old record stays a document you keep, and the first OrgOrg cycle starts the new record on each person's profile.
