Yes, the paid version of the 1:1 tool for managers is worth it. The pilot study shows: The Echometer 1:1 tool increases satisfaction with 1:1 meetings by an average of +40 %.

How does Echometer do that? It’s simple: Good leadership and coaching often depend on asking the right questions at the right time - that’s exactly what Echometer templates and smart suggestions help with. Echometer turns managers into effective coaches who can measurably prove developments.

The structure, the automatic summaries and the integrated action tracking simultaneously reduce the time required by managers for annual appraisals, performance reviews and follow-up.

€29 per facilitator license per month is quickly refinanced: The time savings, better coaching quality and more employee satisfaction justify the investment.

Yes, you can add or remove new Facilitator licenses in the 1:1 tool at any time:

• When a facilitator license is added, it will be invoiced pro rata for the current contract period.
• When a facilitator license is removed, this reduction in the number is automatically taken into account when billing for the next contract period.

First, simply register for free in Echometer. Then navigate to the workspace for which you would like to purchase the 1:1 software. If you haven’t already done so, you can do so here: Create account in Echometer 1:1 tool

You can choose from various payment methods when upgrading.

If you do not have access to your company’s credit card yourself, you can simply add a buyer as a workspace admin in your Echometer workspace so that this admin can carry out the upgrade for you.

The Echometer 1-to-1 meeting software offers a generous free plan: managers can hold unlimited free one-to-one meetings with up to two of their employees.

If you want to hold 1-to-1 meetings with more than two employees, you have to switch to a fee-based tariff:

• Monthly 29€ per manager with an annual subscription, or
• Monthly subscription of €35 per manager

So you only pay for the 1-to-1 meeting software for managers and not for employees.
