Performance & engagement

Pulsings vs 15Five

A performance-management suite vs an anonymous team pulse.

What 15Five is

15Five is a performance platform combining weekly employee check-ins, OKRs, 1-on-1s, reviews, and engagement surveys, designed to run a company’s whole performance cycle.

How Pulsings is different

Anonymous by construction

A response is stored with no member or invite reference, and completion is tracked separately from content. Anonymity isn’t a setting you toggle and trust — there’s no link to break.

One focused job

No survey builder, no performance suite, no integrations to configure. A pulse: four trend scores, two open questions, an AI synthesis. That’s the product.

Live in minutes

Paste your team’s emails, pick a cadence, send. No onboarding project, no admin rollout, no per-seat provisioning.

Fair, transparent price

Two free cycles on every pulse, then a per-pulse subscription from $29/month that scales with your team size and cadence. No forced contract to run a single team, no annual minimum — and an organization plan when you’re ready to scale.

Comparisons reflect our reading of each product’s public positioning and are meant to help you choose the right tool — not to disparage. Details change; verify the specifics for your needs.

When 15Five fits better

If you want to run performance — goals, reviews, manager 1-on-1s — alongside engagement, 15Five is purpose-built. Note that its weekly check-ins are attributed by design; Pulsings is the opposite — anonymous, with no link from a response to a person.
