What it costs and how you get your data back

Packages start at $15,000 a year. That is the minimum annual contract, about $1,250 a month spread over the year. The base price follows your total number of employees, and discounts depend on the number of users. Quantum Workplace sells Engagement, Performance, Development and Recognition separately or together.

Quantum Workplace charges no implementation fee. A Customer Implementation Manager supports each customer through set-up. Importing past Feedback data costs an extra fee. Fees are due within 30 days of the invoice, unless the order form provides otherwise.

Quantum Workplace stores your data for 60 days after the contract ends or is not renewed. In those 60 days, you can download a copy of all your data or ask Quantum Workplace for one. Under the master service agreement it then deletes the data securely. That holds unless you tell it otherwise. You can also ask Quantum Workplace to destroy your data at any time.

A review round exports as a CSV file, with extra detail on separate tabs. Review analytics export to PDF or Excel.

4. Which data trains your non-generative machine learning models, and can we opt out? Good answer: De-identified data only, defined in writing, with an opt-out.

9. Can you lower the 2% weekly interest on late payments? Good answer: A lower rate, or a grace period, written into the order form.

Weigh Quantum Workplace against 15Five, Betterworks, Culture Amp, Leapsome and PerformYard.

15Five Perform costs $11 per user a month, billed yearly. Perform covers AI-assisted reviews, 360 feedback, objectives and key results, and career paths.

That package includes review rounds and AI assistance, and implementation costs extra once. Below about 156 users, it costs less a year than the $15,000 minimum.

Culture Amp sells Perform by quote. Its price depends on employee count, the product and the service tier, and all products are billed yearly. It offers a Perform Only plan beside plans for engagement, effectiveness and development. Leapsome Performance Reviews cost €7 per employee a month. The Leapsome platform is always part of the plan. Exact figures come in the quote, because the website estimator gives list prices only.

PerformYard costs $5 to $15 per person a month, billed yearly. The price varies with employee count and chosen products. It charges nothing extra for onboarding or training, and connections to HR systems and company login come with every plan.

You may not need a separate product. If you already run an HR system, check whether it includes reviews first. BambooHR’s Pro plan costs about $17 per employee a month and includes 360 review cycles and one-to-one meetings. That price also covers its core HR system.
