What is 15Five?

15Five is an AI-assisted performance management platform combining reviews, check-ins, engagement surveys and manager coaching for mid-market and enterprise employers, aimed at improving engagement, performance and retention.

15Five is a US company serving mid-market and enterprise employers with a platform spanning performance reviews, weekly check-ins, engagement surveys, compensation insight and people analytics, aimed at giving managers a single workflow instead of separate tools. The vendor states more than 3,000 companies and 250,000 employees use it, with named customers including HubSpot, MongoDB and Udemy, and pricing is structured as separate Engage, Perform and Total Platform tiers rather than one bundle.

15Five AI features and use cases

  • Coaches managers through KonaThe Kona AI coach gives managers data-informed suggestions drawn from their team's check-ins and reviews, for example how to open a difficult 1:1. Newer or less experienced managers get a starting point instead of facing the conversation unprepared.
  • Drafts and improves performance reviewsAI-assisted reviews pull a person's prior work history and context to help a manager write a more complete, less biased review draft. This cuts the blank-page problem and gives HR more consistent review quality across managers.
  • Runs automated focus briefingsAI agents can compile a Focus Brief that pulls relevant updates before a 1:1 or review cycle, connecting to the tools a team already uses. Managers walk into a conversation already knowing what changed instead of hunting for context.
  • Flags people risks for HR leadersAMAYA, an AI agent for HR leaders included in the Perform tier, answers people questions and highlights emerging risks before they turn into resignations, drawing on reviews, goals and engagement signals. HR gets an early warning instead of reading every survey comment manually.

What sets 15Five apart

  • Publishes per-user pricing across three tiers (Engage, Perform, Total Platform) instead of quote-only pricing.
  • Kona AI coach is a distinct, named manager-coaching feature rather than a generic chat assistant.
  • Data is hosted in the United States only, with no published EU hosting option.
  • Add-on structure lets a company buy engagement surveys, reviews or coaching separately rather than one bundle.

Where 15Five is strongest

Prices in US dollars, data hosted in the US only, with named reference customers such as HubSpot, MongoDB and Udemy and no documented international offices.

Questions to ask before you buy 15Five

Budget separately for the Kona AI coach, which is an add-on to the per-user tiers. 15Five hosts data in the United States only, with no published regional option. Because AI-drafted reviews and engagement analysis touch individual performance data, check how they feed promotion decisions, since Illinois bans AI that discriminates by protected class. California's CCPA covers that employee data the same way as consumer data.

Rules for HR in the United States

  • No federal employee privacy law, a state patchwork instead
  • NYC requires bias audits for AI hiring tools
  • Illinois bans discriminatory AI in employment decisions
