Our verdict on Effy AI
Effy AI brings performance reviews, goals and career frameworks into a web-based product aimed at small and mid-sized organizations. Teams can choose among 360-degree, peer, upward, self-assessment, probation and annual reviews, with customizable forms and rating scales. Its career-framework tools are intended for organizations defining role tracks, levels, competencies, promotion signals and growth assignments. That makes it relevant to teams that want review cycles and career structure in one product, rather than a review-only workflow.
The plan structure separates reviews from goals. Free includes 360-degree reviews at $0 per user. The annual-billed 360° Reviews tier for one review per user per year costs $3 per seat per month and adds bias checks, quality nudges, AI-generated summaries, heatmap and 9-box insights, and Slack integration. A multiple-reviews tier costs $6 per seat per month annually. Goals and OKRs costs $2 per seat per month annually, with SMART goals, people and alignment views, PDPs, PIPs and check-ins. Published pricing describes $2 per seat per month as the starting price, reflecting the Goals and OKRs tier rather than the review tier.
The strongest distinction is the combination of review mechanics, cascading company, team and individual OKRs, and AI-assisted career-framework generation. Goals can have auto-calculated progress; summaries and reports are AI-generated. The framework capability is presented through an AI skills library connected through Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot, while Slack and email support automated reminders. The listed integrations are Slack, Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot, and support channels include email, chat and documentation. Effy AI is a fit for small teams that value free reviews and structured career paths, but teams requiring 1:1s or calibration should choose an alternative.
