Where PerformSpark and Lattice Differ
One Price. Every Feature. No Surprises.
Lattice prices each product separately. Performance, Goals and OKRs, Engagement, Grow, and Compensation are each their own line item. A team that wants reviews, goal tracking, continuous feedback, and development planning is looking at stacking multiple modules before they have a complete performance system.
PerformSpark includes every feature in a single plan at $6 per user per month. Performance reviews, calibration, goal management, 1-on-1 check-ins, feedback, pulse surveys, 360-degree reviews, individual development plans, performance improvement plans, and TrAI are all included from day one. There are no tiers to unlock and no add-ons to negotiate.

The average PerformSpark customer saves 40 to 60 percent compared to building an equivalent feature set in Lattice.
Focused on Performance. Not Spread Across HR.
Lattice has expanded significantly beyond performance management into compensation planning, talent management, HRIS, and payroll. That breadth is a genuine advantage for large organizations that want one vendor across their entire HR stack.
For teams that already have an HRIS and simply need a performance management platform that works well, that breadth can become complexity. You end up paying for capabilities you do not need and navigating a product designed to serve too many use cases at once.
PerformSpark is built specifically for performance management. Every feature, workflow, and AI insight exists to help managers coach their teams, run better reviews, and make fairer calibration decisions.
Enterprise performance management vs specialized software
TrAI vs No Dedicated Performance AI
Lattice has introduced AI features across its platform, primarily focused on writing assistance and summarization within review forms. These tools improve productivity, but they are general-purpose AI applied to HR workflows.
PerformSpark’s TrAI is designed specifically for performance decisions. It analyzes rating distributions across managers simultaneously, flags bias patterns before calibration sessions begin, surfaces coaching participation data showing which managers consistently run check-ins and provide feedback, and delivers explainable insights with the underlying data visible at every step.
The difference is simple:AI that helps you write faster vs AI that helps you make better performance decisions.
Performance calibration strategy
Set Up in Days. Not Months.
Lattice implementations are thorough and well-supported, but the scope of the platform means setup timelines are typically measured in weeks to months, depending on how many modules are being configured and how complex the organization’s structure is.
PerformSpark is designed to get HR teams running their first review cycle within one to two weeks. The onboarding team handles initial configuration, HRIS integration, and template design.
There is no reason to spend months on implementation before a single review is completed.
For growing companies that need to move quickly, this difference matters.
Built for Growing Teams. Not Just Enterprise.
Lattice is an excellent fit for large organizations with dedicated HR operations teams, complex structures, and the budget to invest in a comprehensive HR suite.
PerformSpark is built for companies between 50 and 1,000 employees that have outgrown spreadsheets and informal performance conversations but are not ready for — and do not need — a full enterprise HR suite.
The platform is designed to be configured and managed by an HR team of one to three people, without IT support, implementation consultants, or a dedicated admin.

What Teams Say After Switching

“The setup was genuinely two weeks. We had our first review cycle live before we expected to be finished configuring the platform.”
“TrAI flagged a calibration outlier in our first cycle that we would never have caught manually. That one insight alone justified the switch.”
“We were paying for three separate Lattice modules and still did not have calibration working the way we needed it. PerformSpark gave us everything in one place for less than we were paying for Goals alone.”
