BetterUp

  • Sold to employers rather than to individuals, so access depends on your organisation buying it
  • Pricing is not published
  • Split into four products, Lead, Manage, Grow and Ready, so coverage is a purchasing decision

Leapsome

  • The minimum contract term is one year
  • Modules are bought individually, so a full platform means combining several purchases
  • Compensation benchmarks and learning content are paid add ons on top of the modules
  • Dedicated customer success support is tied to annual contracts of 6,000 EUR or more
  • Actual pricing is quoted rather than listed, and depends on headcount and contract length
