Affordable, configurable performance management with plans for expanding review programs.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Small Improvements is a web-based performance management platform for organizations that need structured reviews, ongoing feedback, objectives, 1:1 meetings, and pulse surveys. Its configurable review cycles and questionnaires support different performance processes, while objectives can use key results and cascading alignment. The platform also includes calibration, analytics, praise, peer recognition, and AI Coaches with AI-assisted objective suggestions. It is suited to teams that want a broad review and performance toolkit without committing to the highest-priced tier.
Pricing is divided into three annual plans. Launch costs $3 per user per month and includes essential performance reviews, praise, a company directory, HRIS integrations, and Google Sign-in. Grow costs $6 per user per month and adds 360° and anytime feedback, essential objectives, 1:1 meetings, pulse surveys, and Slack integration. Elevate costs $9 per user per month and adds all features, integrations, customizations, and advanced analytics. Launch and Grow have a 20-user minimum, while Elevate has a 30-user minimum. A 30-day trial is available, but there is no free plan.
The platform’s ecosystem fit is a practical strength. Listed integrations include Slack, Gmail, Google Workspace, Google Calendar, Microsoft Office 365 calendar, BambooHR, Personio, Namely, Rippling, Workday, Kallidus, Workable, Okta, Centrify, and OneLogin. Web and API access support workplace and HR-system connections. Teams needing review calibration, aligned objectives, meeting notes, action items, engagement tracking, and analytics can choose among progressively broader plans. Smaller organizations that need a free option, or buyers seeking a narrower tool focused only on one performance workflow, should consider alternatives that match those requirements more closely.
