European Alternatives to Leapsome
Looking for an alternative to Leapsome? Leapsome GmbH is a Berlin company whose performance, OKR, engagement and learning modules are priced per user, from $8 per user per month according to its tool page on this site. Teams that want a different price model, a manager-first workflow or a narrower module set compare it with other European platforms.
Twelve European tools cover reviews, goals, 1:1s, 360 feedback and engagement, from companies in the Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany, France and Sweden; some are dedicated performance platforms and some are HR suites with a performance module.
How we rank these tools — 4-step process
-
1
European ownership, verified
The company is headquartered and incorporated in the EU, EEA, the UK, Switzerland or Israel, and processes customer data in Europe or Israel. A US parent company disqualifies a tool from this page regardless of where its servers are.
-
2
Category fit and hands-on review
What the tool actually does, who it suits, and where it falls short — checked against the vendor’s own documentation, changelog and pricing page rather than its marketing copy.
-
3
Compliance and pricing check
GDPR posture, hosting location and the prices quoted on this page are verified against the vendor’s public pricing before publication, and re-checked when we revisit the category.
-
4
Position on this page
Placement on this page can be paid, and that can affect which tools appear here and the order they appear in. It never buys a good review: a tool that fails the checks above is not here at any price, and payment does not change the shortcomings we write about. A vendor can ask us to correct a factual error — not to remove a criticism.
Vendors can pay for visibility on this page. It never changes what an entry says about a product, including the criticism, and we earn nothing when you click through to a vendor. Vendors can pay for more visibility, higher up on the review pages; it never affects which tools are listed. Editorial policy

Key takeaways
- Leapsome GmbH is a Berlin company, so a move away from Leapsome is not a jurisdiction question.
- Leapsome says it serves more than 1,500 companies and starts at about $8 per user per month, with the final price set by modules and headcount.
- Leapsome covers reviews, OKRs, engagement surveys, learning and compensation in one platform, which is broader than most tools on this page.
- Treams, a Dutch performance platform from Eindhoven, lists Flow at EUR 6.50 and Momentum at EUR 9 per employee per month.
- Leapsome needs a separate HR system of record, while Personio, Kenjo and Lucca combine employee data and performance reviews.
Why people leave Leapsome
Leapsome is a people enablement platform from Leapsome GmbH in Berlin, founded in 2016. It bundles performance reviews, 360 feedback, OKRs, engagement surveys, continuous feedback, learning paths, compensation management and meeting tools in one product. Its own pages say it serves more than 1,500 companies, and the entry price is about $8 per user per month. This is a European vendor, so nobody leaves Leapsome because of a foreign jurisdiction.
The reasons to compare are commercial and practical. Leapsome sells modules, and the total per user depends on how many you switch on, so the starting price is rarely the final one. Because it charges per user, the bill grows with headcount, and the figures are quoted in dollars. The vendor describes its sweet spot as companies of 50 to 5,000 employees, which leaves a gap for teams that want only reviews and one-to-ones.
Leapsome also needs a separate HR system of record next to it, because it deliberately leaves payroll, time and absence to other tools. A company that wants personnel file and reviews in one account has to look at suites. A company that wants a lighter, cheaper or more manager-centred product has a dozen European options on this page, from Dutch and German specialists to Spanish and British suites.
- Price grows with modules and with headcount Leapsome starts at about $8 per user per month, and the final figure depends on which modules and how many employees. Reviews plus engagement plus learning cost more than reviews alone. Treams publishes Flow at EUR 6.50 and Momentum at EUR 9 per employee per month, with integrations and security included. Perdoo offers a free plan for five users, and Pulse Feedback lists CHF 5 per user per month for a single survey or 360 module.
- The platform is built for 50 to 5,000 employees Leapsome describes itself as best suited to mid-size and enterprise companies. A team of 25 pays for a platform with calibration, compensation and learning paths it may never switch on. Small Improvements targets roughly 50 to 750 staff with three published plans, and Kenjo is built for companies of 20 to 500 employees with Starter at EUR 6 per employee per month.
- It does not hold the HR record Leapsome leaves payroll, time tracking and absence to other products, and its tool page lists the need for a separate HR system of record as a drawback. The reviews therefore depend on an HRIS sync. Personio, Kenjo, Lucca and HRworks keep the employee record in the same account as the rest of the HR work, and the first three add a review cycle, so reporting lines never go stale.
- Results depend on managers using it A wide module list does not produce better conversations by itself, and the Leapsome tool page says outcomes depend on leadership follow-through. Treams builds around the manager: goals, one-to-ones and feedback run in the rhythm of the work week, and its AI takes over administrative tasks. If managers are the bottleneck, a narrower tool they open weekly may beat a broader one they open quarterly.
What you have to replace, not just match
Replacing Leapsome starts with an inventory of the modules you actually run. Reviews with calibration, OKRs, engagement and pulse surveys, praise, learning paths and pay reviews are separate products inside one login. Write down which of them produced a decision in the last twelve months. Many teams find that only reviews, goals and one-to-ones are in regular use, and that shortens the shortlist considerably.
The second item is history. Leapsome holds review ratings, written feedback, goal progress, survey trends and benchmarking against industry averages. Ask each vendor what it can import, and decide early whether you export old cycles as PDFs for the personnel file or recreate the goal tree. Survey benchmarks are the hardest to replace, because comparison data comes from the size of the vendor customer base.
Third, list the connections. Leapsome syncs with an HR system, posts praise in Slack or Microsoft Teams and links to external learning content providers. Whatever replaces it must read the same employee data and keep the same notification channels, or the first cycle will start with outdated teams. If the new tool is a suite such as Personio or Kenjo, the sync disappears because the record is already inside.

How each alternative compares to Leapsome
Treams
a manager-centred performance platform with published per-employee prices and fast go-live
Best for: Dutch and European organisations that want goals, one-to-ones, feedback and engagement in one tool managers open weekly
Treams B.V. in Eindhoven says more than 200 organisations use it, and publishes usage figures from customers. Bufab recorded 947 conversations and set 1,301 goals, iPS set 605 goals, and Schouten Zekerheid completed 95.9% of its goals on time. The product covers Performance, Engagement, Development and Reward modules.
Against Leapsome the pitch is speed and rhythm. Treams says it goes live without long implementation projects, so HR sees results in the same quarter, and managers run one-to-ones, feedback and goals alongside daily work. It is ISO 27001 certified, customer data is not exported to outside tools such as ChatGPT, and onboarding and support are personal after go-live.
What Treams does better than Leapsome
- Published per-employee prices (Flow EUR 6.50, Momentum EUR 9) with integrations and security included
- Fast go-live that targets results within the first quarter
- AI that removes admin work and sharpens measurable goals without exporting data
- Volume discount from 100 employees
Where Treams is a step down from Leapsome
- No free trial, only a demo and a test environment on request
- Compound pricing is on request
- Integration list centred on Dutch HR and payroll systems
Standout against Leapsome. Treams keeps performance, engagement and development in one manager-facing platform with published prices.
Best for: Companies of roughly 50 to 750 employees that want reviews, 360 feedback and 1:1s without extra modules
Small Improvements Software GmbH in Berlin sells reviews with calibration, 360 feedback, objectives, 1:1 agendas, pulse surveys and praise. Its terms are governed by German law with arbitration in Berlin, the same legal home as Leapsome, so the comparison is about scope and price.
Launch costs $3, Grow $6 and Elevate $9 per user per month on annual billing, with a 30-day free trial. Minimums are 20 users on Launch and Grow and 30 on Elevate. Admins can rewrite on-screen wording and emails, which helps a company that wants the cycle to use its own vocabulary.
What Small Improvements does better than Leapsome
- Lower entry price at $3 per user per month
- Three plans with a clear feature ladder
- A 30-day free trial for testing on real staff
- Editable wording and emails inside review cycles
Where Small Improvements is a step down from Leapsome
- No learning or compensation module comparable to Leapsome
- Minimum of 20 or 30 users
- Data location is not stated on the pages reviewed
Standout against Leapsome. Small Improvements publishes a price ladder from $3 to $9 for a deliberately narrow review product.
Best for: Teams that steer performance through company goals, OKRs and KPIs rather than appraisal forms
Perdoo GmbH in Hamburg starts from goals. Strategy maps, OKRs and KPIs form the centre, and check-ins, team reviews, dashboards and pulse surveys sit around them. The DPA lists AWS in Frankfurt for infrastructure, and the terms fall under German law with Berlin courts.
The free plan covers five users, Premium costs EUR 6.40 and Supreme EUR 8.00 per user per month, and view-only licences cost EUR 1.50 on Supreme. Compared with Leapsome, appraisal-style review cycles, 360 forms and compensation are thinner, and the plan comparison does not make clear which tier includes formal reviews.
What Perdoo does better than Leapsome
- A free plan for up to five users
- Strategy maps and KPIs that link goals to company direction
- Cheaper view-only licences for executives who only read
- Named hosting in AWS Frankfurt in its DPA
Where Perdoo is a step down from Leapsome
- Thinner appraisal, 360 and compensation features
- Unclear which plan includes formal reviews
- Chargebee, a US billing provider, appears as subcontractor
Standout against Leapsome. Perdoo is the OKR specialist on this page, with strategy maps and a free entry plan.
Best for: Organisations already on Visma payroll or HR that want continuous conversations without a new vendor
Dialog is people management software developed and maintained by Visma, and it is based in the Netherlands. It covers performance management, 360 feedback, engagement surveys, OKRs and people analytics, built around regular check-ins with templates, talking points and follow-up actions.
The main argument against Leapsome is the ecosystem. Dialog can pull employee data from other Visma HR systems, which removes double entry for companies that already use Visma payroll. Prices are quoted rather than published, and the product does not handle HR administration, so it needs a record system next to it, like Leapsome.
What Dialog does better than Leapsome
- Employee data flows in from other Visma HR products
- Backed by the Visma group rather than venture funding
- EU data centres with a Dutch operating company
Where Dialog is a step down from Leapsome
- Pricing is quoted, not published
- Smaller ecosystem than the international vendors
- No learning or compensation depth comparable to Leapsome
Standout against Leapsome. Dialog plugs into the Visma stack, which settles the data sync question for Visma customers.
Best for: HR teams that want engagement surveys and 360 feedback with AI analysis, priced per user
Creaholic SA in Biel/Bienne started the product in 2015 and sells two modules: employee and pulse surveys, and 360-degree feedback. Results land in a dashboard with team, time and benchmark comparisons, an AI summary suggests actions, and a discussion moderator guides team sessions. Surveys run in German, English, French and Italian.
Against Leapsome the scope is much narrower. Goals, review cycles, one-to-ones and pay are not listed on the pages we read, so it complements a review tool rather than replacing Leapsome. The price is clear: CHF 5 per user per month for one module, CHF 8 for both on annual billing, with a 21-day trial. Hosting is AWS in the EU, regions unnamed.
What Pulse Feedback does better than Leapsome
- Published prices from CHF 5 per user per month with a 21-day trial
- AI summary and chat over survey results
- Surveys and comments translated into four languages
- Bottom-up surveys that teams can launch themselves
Where Pulse Feedback is a step down from Leapsome
- No goals, review cycles, 1:1s or compensation
- Swiss company outside the EEA, hosted on a US-owned cloud with regions not named
- Needs a second tool for appraisals
Standout against Leapsome. Pulse Feedback is the narrowest tool on the page: surveys and 360 feedback, nothing else.
Best for: Dutch employers whose first need is onboarding, with performance conversations as a secondary module
Welder from Den Bosch starts with onboarding, programmes that begin before day one with tasks for HR and managers, and adds modules for performance conversations, internal communication, learning and employee surveys. It states more than 700 client organisations in construction, hospitality, logistics, education, healthcare and government.
Its hosting statement is concrete: Germany primary, France backup, on Hetzner infrastructure, with all processing in the EU. The subscription is modular and month-to-month without a long contract. Against Leapsome it is a different centre of gravity, since reviews and OKRs are not the core.
What Welder does better than Leapsome
- Month-to-month contract with no long-term commitment
- Onboarding and offboarding programmes that Leapsome does not centre on
- Integrations named for AFAS, Nmbrs and SD Worx
- Automatic deletion of data for leavers
Where Welder is a step down from Leapsome
- No published prices, a demo is needed
- Performance conversations are a module, not the core
- Dutch-first site and references
Standout against Leapsome. Welder treats the first weeks of employment as the main process and performance as an add-on.
Best for: Mid-size employers that want the personnel file and reviews from one French vendor on European servers
Lucca SAS in Paris has sold HR software since 2002. Core HR, absences, timesheets, performance and engagement are separate modules. For 100 or more employees it indicates EUR 3.97 per employee per month for Performance and EUR 3.16 for Engagement, excluding VAT, with no minimum term.
Hosting is on OVHcloud in France and Germany with backups at Scaleway, and ISO 27001 has applied since July 2022. Compared with Leapsome the pricing logic is the same, a sum of modules, but the record and the reviews can share one vendor. There is no free trial, only a demo, and small companies negotiate.
What Lucca does better than Leapsome
- Personnel file, absence and reviews can run at one vendor
- Per-module prices published for 100-plus employees
- French and German infrastructure providers named
- ISO 27001 since July 2022
Where Lucca is a step down from Leapsome
- Performance module is lighter than Leapsome on OKRs and learning
- No free trial, demo on request only
- Several modules together can cost more than a bundle
Standout against Leapsome. Lucca keeps data and backups with European infrastructure providers instead of a US hyperscaler.
Best for: Organisations that run structured review conversations and want talent calibration and pay planning alongside
Elevo operates from Montreuil near Paris and has run the product since 2017. It combines performance reviews and 360 feedback with a People Review module, eNPS and pulse surveys, competency mapping, training budgets and compensation planning. It has recently paired with the Swedish assessment company Assessio.
The closest match to Leapsome is the review and pay side, with calibration across teams as its sharpest feature. The costs of that depth are opacity: no public price list, only a demo, no named hosting provider beyond Europe, and no security certification on its pages. Documentation is thinner than for Leapsome.
What Elevo does better than Leapsome
- People Review module for cross-team calibration
- Reviews, eNPS and compensation planning in one French suite
- Competency mapping and training-budget management
Where Elevo is a step down from Leapsome
- No public price list, quote after a demo
- Infrastructure provider and certification not named
- Smaller and less documented than Leapsome
Standout against Leapsome. Elevo has a dedicated People Review module for calibrating talent decisions across teams.
Best for: European mid-market companies that want absence, time, onboarding and reviews with an approachable interface
Kenjo GmbH in Berlin, started by Spanish founders in 2017, covers time tracking, absence, onboarding, recruitment and performance. The performance part offers goals or OKRs, continuous feedback, 360 feedback, self-assessments, review templates and pulse surveys. It prepares payroll rather than running it.
Plans run from EUR 6 per employee per month for Starter to EUR 10 for Growth, which is where performance management sits, and Connect is quoted. Against Leapsome the break is depth: modules are shallower than specialists, and integrations beyond DATEV and calendars are limited. The upside is one record for people and reviews.
What Kenjo does better than Leapsome
- Employee record, absence, time and reviews share one account
- Working-time compliance built in for German rules
- Published Starter and Growth prices with a free trial
- No HRIS sync to maintain
Where Kenjo is a step down from Leapsome
- Performance tools sit behind the EUR 10 Growth plan and are less deep than Leapsome
- Smaller integration list than Personio or Leapsome
- Connect plan priced on request
Standout against Leapsome. Kenjo removes the HR-system sync by holding the personnel record and the review cycle together.
Best for: Companies of 10 to 2,000 employees that want personnel files, time, payroll preparation and reviews in one system
Personio SE & Co. KG in Munich says it serves over 15,000 customers. Recruiting, personnel files, absence, time, payroll preparation and performance sit in one system on AWS Frankfurt. The performance module adds review cycles, 360 feedback, goals, one-on-ones and compensation workflows with salary bands.
Prices are quoted, starting around EUR 2.88 to 3 per employee per month for the core plan, with performance and recruiting as add-ons. Against Leapsome the trade is breadth for coverage: reporting and analytics are weaker than dedicated platforms, and a payroll provider is still needed. The upside is that reporting lines never go stale.
What Personio does better than Leapsome
- Lowest full-platform entry price on this page, from about EUR 2.88
- Personnel file and reviews in one system, no sync
- Named hosting on AWS Frankfurt
- Integrations with national payroll providers
Where Personio is a step down from Leapsome
- Performance module is lighter than Leapsome on engagement and learning
- Quote-based pricing with add-ons
- Multi-country operation strains the all-in-one model
Standout against Leapsome. Personio is the largest European HR suite here, with reviews and pay included as modules.
Eletive
a Swedish engagement specialist where performance tools are add-ons
Best for: Companies whose first need is engagement surveys and action plans, with some performance tooling later
Eletive AB in Malmo, Sweden, builds around engagement. Its privacy policy names Eletive AB as controller and says transfers outside the EU or EEA use safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.
Its pricing page lists Essential, Standard and Professional plans on request. Performance assessments, 1-on-1s, OKRs and 360 feedback appear in a separate Perform section, mostly as add-ons. Against Leapsome, which has its own engagement module, Eletive goes deeper on surveys and shallower on reviews.
What Eletive does better than Leapsome
- Engagement surveys as the main product, with action plans and benchmarks
- Swedish company inside the EU
- Performance and OKR tools on the same platform when added
Where Eletive is a step down from Leapsome
- Performance is an add-on, not the core
- No prices published
- Narrower reviews and calibration than Leapsome
Standout against Leapsome. Eletive puts engagement first and sells the performance tools as extras.
Best for: German mid-sized companies that need personnel files, absence, time and travel expenses with data kept in Germany
HRworks GmbH in Freiburg has built German HR software since 1998. Personnel files, time tracking, absence, travel expenses and payroll preparation sit in one modular system priced per employee per month, with data in Germany. Its tool page describes no performance, OKR or survey function.
That makes it an answer to a different question than Leapsome: if the pain is administration and the accountant files in DATEV, HRworks fits, but it will not replace review cycles. Prices depend on the modules you take, and a demo is needed to get a quote. Choose it to retire the HR record, not the review tool.
What HRworks does better than Leapsome
- Travel expenses handled as a full module
- German hosting and a German vendor since 1998
- Fits the accountant-files-it payroll model
Where HRworks is a step down from Leapsome
- No review, OKR or engagement tooling on its tool page
- Germany focused, quote needed to compare prices
Standout against Leapsome. HRworks treats travel expenses as a core module, which most HR suites treat as an afterthought.
What actually breaks when you switch
The first thing that breaks is the review history. Leapsome keeps ratings, written feedback and calibration notes per cycle, and another tool will not import them in the same shape. Export past cycles before the contract ends and agree with HR where they are stored. Goals are easier: a goal tree can usually be rebuilt from a spreadsheet, but check how each candidate handles cascades from company to team to person.
The second break is the people. Managers who learned one interface for reviews, praise and surveys must relearn it, and each module that was switched on in Leapsome has to be switched on, or consciously dropped, in the new tool. Plan the switch right after a finished cycle, not in the middle of one. Check the notice period of your Leapsome contract, since module-based agreements often renew per module.
Is Leapsome a good choice if we are a European company that wants a European vendor?
Yes, on that criterion Leapsome qualifies. Leapsome GmbH is based in Berlin and the vendor processes in the EU, which is why the Leapsome tool page lists it as GDPR compliant. Moving away from it does not fix a legal exposure. The question is price, scope and fit.
That makes this a different comparison from one against a US incumbent such as Lattice. You compare module breadth against price and manager workflow. If you need reviews, OKRs, surveys, learning and pay in one platform, Leapsome is hard to match on this page. If you need two or three of those, a narrower tool is cheaper to run.
What do we lose when we leave Leapsome for a smaller tool?
You lose breadth. Leapsome combines calibration, engagement benchmarks, learning paths linked to competency gaps and pay review tied to performance data, and no single European tool here repeats that complete list. Perdoo is thinner on appraisals and compensation, Pulse Feedback covers only surveys and 360 feedback, Eletive treats performance as an add-on, and Welder is built around onboarding.
You gain focus and, in most cases, a lower per-head cost. Small Improvements, Perdoo, Pulse Feedback and Treams publish their prices. Run one cycle in the candidate before the contract, then compare what the managers did with it against what they did in Leapsome. Learned, a Utrecht performance product without a page of its own here, is a further reference point for that test.
Which one to pick
Pick Treams if managers are the bottleneck and you want goals, one-to-ones, feedback and engagement in one tool at a published price. Pick Small Improvements for a plain review product at 50 to 750 employees, and Perdoo if OKRs are the way you steer. Dialog fits a company already on Visma. Learned, a Utrecht product without its own page here, is the other Dutch name to add to a performance shortlist.
Pick Personio, Kenjo or Lucca when you want the HR record and the review cycle in one account, and accept lighter performance features. Pick Elevo for calibration and pay planning, Pulse Feedback as a survey layer beside another tool, HRworks to fix HR administration and expenses, Eletive when engagement is the real problem, and Welder when onboarding comes first. Stay with Leapsome if you use reviews, OKRs, surveys, learning and pay together.
Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the criterion. Treams from Eindhoven is the closest match for managers who want goals, one-to-ones, feedback and engagement in one platform, from EUR 6.50 per employee per month. Small Improvements from Berlin suits companies of 50 to 750 staff that want a focused review tool, and Perdoo from Hamburg suits teams that run performance around OKRs.
Not generally. Leapsome starts at about $8 per user per month, and modules raise that figure. Small Improvements lists $3, $6 and $9 per user per month with minimum user counts, Perdoo lists EUR 6.40 and EUR 8.00 plus a free plan for five users, Kenjo lists EUR 6 and EUR 10, and Treams lists EUR 6.50 and EUR 9. Compare the plan that includes the reviews you really run.
Personio, Kenjo, Lucca and HRworks hold the HR record next to time and absence. Personio and Kenjo add review cycles, Lucca sells Performance as a separate module, and HRworks adds travel expenses but lists no review tools. All prepare payroll for a provider or accountant rather than replace one, and their review parts are lighter than Leapsome, so test them in a demo.
None of the tools on this page lists an on-premises installation. If the real concern is where the data sits, Lucca names OVHcloud in France and Germany with Scaleway backups, Welder names Hetzner in Germany with France as backup, and HRworks keeps data in Germany. Treams is ISO 27001 certified and says customer data is not sent to outside AI tools such as ChatGPT.
Yes, with limits. Perdoo has a free plan for up to five users, and Pulse Feedback has a 21-day trial with CHF 5 per user per month for one module, though it covers surveys and 360 feedback only. Small Improvements requires at least 20 users on its lower plans, so it suits a team only once it passes that size. Treams is worth a demo at any size.
