The short version

  • Only Assembly has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Reflektive the reflektive.com domain now redirects to a PeopleFluent product page, so Reflektive is no longer sold as an independent product; Assembly client counts are capped by tier, at 50 on Starter and 500 on Professional
  • They diverge on capability: Reflektive covers Continuous feedback, Assembly covers Social recognition.
