  • No Reflektive-branded pricing, plan or per-user rate remains published at the original domain

Betterworks

  • The $1 and $2 promotional rates require a three year agreement and expire on 31 August 2026; the standing prices are $8 and $9 per user per month
  • Implementation is charged on top of the per-user price
  • Calibration, succession planning and skills intelligence need the Talent Intelligence tier
  • Engagement surveys and change management services are Enterprise only
  • The vendor states it adds most value above 500 employees, so smaller companies are not the target
