Where Lattice fits better
From what Lattice’s own pages say, line by line:
Engagement surveys
- Lattice. Lattice sets engagement scores beside benchmarks built on Mercer data. Employees can answer surveys in its iOS and Android apps, and notices reach Slack and Microsoft Teams.
360 feedback
- Lattice. Lattice collects self, peer and upward reviews inside the same cycles as its performance reviews, for a company that wants 360 input in formal reviews.
Reviews and 1:1s
- Lattice. Lattice puts reviews, goals, 1:1s and engagement surveys in one product, with iOS and Android apps. Its 1:1 agendas are shared, so both people add topics and track action items.
Where Facets is different
- Priced per manager, from one manager. A manager with eight reports pays the Manager plan's $7 a month, billed annually ($84 a year), and the eight people are never charged. A single manager can hold a seat on their own; the Organization plan is for five managers or more.
- Assessments where the manager chooses the rating. Quarterly and end-of-year assessments start from the manager’s own answers and written input from up to ten colleagues. A model drafts from both; the manager chooses the performance band and writes why, and the model never picks it.
- 1:1s on the calendar you already use. A 1:1 repeats every 1, 2 or 4 weeks, the person gets an emailed calendar invitation, and 1:1s, check-ins and other key dates show on one calendar feed you can follow in Outlook or another calendar app.
- Engagement cycles bought one at a time. An engagement cycle is priced once per survey of the whole organization, by headcount: from $999 up to 100 employees to $9,499 up to 2,500. A second cycle in the same calendar year is 60% of list. Two cycles in a year at 100 people cost $999 and $599, $1,598 in all: about $1.33 a person a month. Every group’s score comes with a 95% range, and a change since the last cycle is marked only when it is reliable.
- A Leadership 360 for one leader. A Leadership 360 is $99 a leader, and anyone can buy and run one. The leader predicts their ratings first, and raters’ comments are summarized in other words, never quoted. Since 29 October 2026 it includes a follow-up pulse 60 to 90 days after the brief.
Using both
Facets does not have to replace Lattice. Its surveys are bought one at a time, so a company that keeps Lattice Performance for reviews can still run a Facets team survey for one team of 3 to 12 people, a Leadership 360 for one leader, or an engagement cycle, without a second subscription.
What a Facets survey finds stays out of performance records. Team survey and engagement answers do not move into the manager tools; the one route is a Leadership 360 summary the leader chooses to send.
