What each product is and what its AI does in a review

ADP, BambooHR, Rippling, SAP SuccessFactors and Workday are HR systems with performance reviews built in. The others sell performance tools on their own, often next to goals, engagement surveys or learning. Several offer calibration. In calibration, leaders compare ratings across managers to keep them consistent.

Most of these products have AI that drafts or tidies review text. The question that matters is who sets the rating. Confirm drafts the manager’s ratings as well as the comments, and the manager edits them. Culture Amp’s AI will not suggest a final rating. Windmill drafts the text answers and leaves the ratings to the writer. The Trakstar AI summary does not influence a rating.

It is also 90 days at Synergita and TalentGuard.

On SAP SuccessFactors’ sample order form, the subscription renews for 36 months at a time. Workday does not offer a way to end the contract early just because you choose to. It treats order forms as not cancellable and payments as not refundable. Neither side may end a Mesh contract early just because it chooses to. A customer who leaves early still owes the fees to the end of the term. Effy AI lets you cancel at any time. Empxtrack does too, but you still pay for the full year.

The time you get to take your data out after the contract ends varies. It is 30 days at BambooHR, Culture Amp, Leapsome, TalentGuard, Teamflect, Trakstar and Windmill. It is 60 days at PerformSpark, Quantum Workplace, Synergita and Workday. Engagedly gives 120 days. Culture Amp has no bulk export of all data, so plan to export one feature at a time.

Reading the prices and the law

Prices are in the currency each vendor uses. Some come from public-sector or marketplace listings. Examples are UK government (G-Cloud) documents and AWS Marketplace. Appraisd prices in pounds and Leapsome in euros. Synergita prices in rupees, Singapore dollars and US dollars.

Check who counts as a paying user. Lattice counts invited users as well as active ones. Windmill counts an invited employee as a seat before they log in. Primalogik counts people who give 360 feedback as users. Workleap charges by manager, not by employee.

Annex III of the EU AI Act covers AI that monitors and evaluates people’s performance at work. Such AI is high-risk unless an exemption applies under Article 6(3). As amended, the rules for those systems apply from 2 December 2027. Employers must tell workers and their representatives before using a high-risk system. Ask each vendor whether an exemption covers its AI features.

Take every ask-the-vendor question to sales before you shortlist.
