The platforms you choose for employee performance and engagement impacts everything from profitability to productivity to employee turnover (1), so it’s important to explore your options during the buying process - for example, if you’re interested in Leapsome, you should also consider Leapsome competitors like Lattice and Frankli.
Software experts recommend creating a longlist of around 10 to 15 platforms before choosing between 3 and 5 to demo (2). It’s not a short process by any means, but finding the benefits of choosing the platform for your teams make it worthwhile. We talk about this in more detail below.
In this article, we’re comparing two of the most popular employee performance management platforms, Leapsome and Frankli, across pricing, functionality, customer support, customer reviews and more. We’ll help you start your search on the top Leapsome competitors and explore whether Frankli is the best Leapsome alternative for your teams.
But first, let’s talk about the importance of choosing the right performance platform.

10. Switching to Frankli: Points to Note
Providing your people with easy-to-use performance software has obvious benefits in terms of efficiency and profitability (1). But the impact of a performance platform on the company’s success depends on how your people use it, and also how many of them use it.
The stakes aren’t all that high when a tool will be used by 3 or 4 employees in a single department to automate simple administrative tasks. But when everyone in the company uses the software to manage conversations and track goal progress, that’s another story.
Simply put, the more time employees will spend using the tools, and the higher the impact of their actions, the more time you should spend in finding the right platform.
We know that different platforms yield different results in terms of efficiency etc. But something that’s often overlooked is digital employee experience or DEX.
Digital Employee Experience (DEX) refers to an employee’s experience with the software tools they use to perform work-related tasks.
Companies with great DEX perform better across several metrics - let’s take a look at some key statistics:
- 50% of employees would leave their current job for a role that offers better digital tools (3).
- Companies with mature DEX programs are 33% more likely to report higher employee satisfaction and 62% more likely to report higher employee retention rates (4).
- U.S. companies report an average of $8.3 billion in lost productivity per year due to inefficient or difficult-to-use software tools (5).
Forcing your people to use a platform they dislike is clearly not an option. Not only is it a waste of company resources, it’s also a waste of company time, as managers and HR teams try to coax employees to embrace the software.
When employees find it easy to use a platform and see the personal value in using its tools, you’ll see a positive impact on company success. With software for managing employee performance, engagement and development, this is never more important.
It’s clear why Frankli is among the most popular Leapsome competitors.
Their features may look similar, but the functionality and scope varies widely. And there are additional features to consider, too.
Here are just a few tools that are unique to Frankli;
- Coaching and Mentoring. Frankli’s Connect space enables HR leaders to set up internal coaching and mentoring programs in minutes. Employees request to connect with colleagues for coaching and mentoring sessions that help them grow skills, explore interests and gain competencies.
- Careers. Frankli’s Careers tools allow leaders to create an online internal talent marketplace that reduces hiring costs and minimises bias, making expectations crystal clear with a framework of competencies for each role. There’s also a tool for individual, employee-led career paths with clear milestones.
- Tasks. Integrating with the Goals and 1:1 Meeting tools, the Tasks space in Frankli allows employees to manage smaller initiatives, linking them to wider goals. Automated reminders ensure that tasks, including those set during busy 1:1 meeting conversations, aren’t forgotten.
Frankli Vs Leapsome Feature Comparison Chart
Unlike Leapsome, Frankli offers completely transparent pricing.
Frankli offers 3 plans;
- Grow. This plan includes all features except goals, tasks and integrations. It’s priced at €7 or US$7.50* per person per month.
- Scale. This plan includes all of Frankli’s features, plus dedicated customer support, and is priced at €11 or US$11.79* per person per month.
- Enterprise. Larger organisations can receive a custom quote via the Enterprise plan, which also includes a dedicated onboarding specialist.
With Leapsome, prices must be negotiated directly with the sales team. It’s worth noting, however, that with Frankli, prices start at €7 or US$7.50* per person per month, and with Leapsome, prices start at €8 or US$8 per person per month.

Frankli Vs Leapsome Customer Service Comparison
The best way to learn about customer support is from real customers, so independent software review sites like G2 can be really helpful.
Frankli is rated no.1 on G2 for quality of support, with a 9.5 rating (6).
When comparing customer support, it’s also important to consider the specific support channels on offer.
Frankli makes this very clear on their pricing page;
- Grow plan. Help centre, resource hub and 24/7 chat support.
- Scale plan. Help centre, resource hub, 24/7 chat support and support from a dedicated customer success specialist.
- Enterprise plan. Help centre, resource hub, 24/7 chat support, support from a dedicated customer success specialist and support from a dedicated customer onboarding specialist.
Leapsome’s customer support channels operate quite differently, varying by annual contract value.
- All customers. Help centre, resource hub and email support.
- Customers with an annual contract of €6,000/ $6,000 or more. Help centre, resource hub, email support and support from a dedicated customer success specialist.
All things considered, there are two key factors when comparing Frankli and Leapsome’s customer support.
- Frankli offers 24/7 chat support for all customers, while Leapsome offers email support only. In-app chat support is not only more efficient, but promotes high adoption by allowing employees to have their questions answered while remaining in the platform.
- With Leapsome, dedicated customer success specialists are reserved for larger organisations. But Frankli makes this level of support available for all organisations by linking support channels to plans rather than annual contract value.
