Leapsome

Lattice

Below we compare three one-on-one meeting software tools that are widely used in practice: Leapsome, Lattice and Echometer.
We differentiate between the categories 1:1 features (i.e. the core functions), smartness (i.e. extended AI & coaching features), additional HR functions of the platforms, and finally the pricing model.
In this comparison, we are deliberately not looking at generic tools such as Google Meet, Zoom or Microsoft Teams, as these do not offer any functions specialized for 1:1 meetings.
While Leapsome and Lattice offer comprehensive HR solutions, Echometer focuses on typical 1:1 meetings between engineers and team leads in the IT sector.

A key reason for managers to opt for a 1:1 meeting tool is its smartness. This creates significant added value compared to the use of generic software tools for employee development and executive coaching.
With Leapsome and Lattice, some AI functions are integrated into the platform, but not directly into the 1:1 product.
