Straightforward Pricing
That Scales With Your Needs
Performance management and employee engagement in one platform at one price. No add-ons. No upsells. No surprises. No pressure.
$8
per employee per month. $4,000 annual minimum.
Everything below is included. Every Upward365 account includes hands-on training, guided implementation, and a dedicated Account Manager who picks up the phone.
Review time is easier when the context is already there.
Notes, Uplifts, and Flight Checks capture context as the year happens, and History Hub surfaces it the moment the review opens. Managers stop trying to remember twelve months of activity from memory.
You find out what's happening while you can still do something about it.
Pulse Surveys, eNPS, and Surveys keep your read on each team current, so a dip shows up while there is still time to do something about it.
Changes are yours to easily make, no IT ticket required.
Briefings give 1:1s a shared agenda. The Dashboard To Do Queue tells every manager what is due and links straight to it. Set the platform up once with unlimited roles, your own groups and fields, and your branding, and no IT ticket is required to change any of it.
Performance and engagement are interconnected.
One tells you how your teams are doing. The other is where you do something about it. Each piece is worth less on its own, so there is one price and everything is in it.
When something needs a human, a real person who knows your account answers the same day.

When You Need Help, We Answer
Most software companies treat customer support as overhead. You call in and get a ticket number. You email and get an autoresponder. You have a real question and wait three business days for someone to acknowledge it.
We find that inexcusable.
At Upward365, when you reach out with a question, a problem, or a request, you hear back the same day. Real people. Real answers. No queue.
This isn't an accident of our size — it's a deliberate choice about how we built the business. We don't have layers between you and the person who can actually help you. We don't route you through a support hierarchy designed to protect our team's time at the expense of yours.
That's what service responsiveness looks like when it's built in from the start — not added as a feature.
Why Upward365 Costs What It Does
You'll notice we're not the cheapest option, but nowhere near the most expensive either.
Here's why, and why it matters.
The Long View means choosing service quality over margin optimization.
When you call us, real humans answer, not chatbots. When you need setup help, we don't charge you extra. When you have a question, you get same-day responses from people who actually understand your business.
Does that cost us more to deliver? Yes.
Is it worth it? After 20+ years serving 1,500+ companies, we know the answer.
Here's what you're paying for:
-
Direct access to knowledgeable support (no tiered ticket hell)
-
Setup and implementation help included (no surprise fees)
-
Ongoing training and optimization guidance (as long as you need it)
-
Real partnership focused on your long-term success
-
A team that cares whether you succeed, not just whether you pay
What you're NOT paying for:
-
Bloated feature lists you'll never use
-
Enterprise overhead scaled down for SMBs
-
VC growth targets that require cutting service costs
-
Self-service models that leave you stranded
Most platforms treat customer service as overhead to minimize. We treat it as the product itself.
No pressure, ever. Talk to us about how the long view translates to better ROI for your team.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions We Hear From Growing Companies
Upward365 ships as one platform at one price: $8/user/month. Performance and engagement features can be toggled on or off inside the platform, but every feature is included. There are no separate modules to purchase. We built it this way because performance and engagement data are more useful together, and because add-ons create the kind of buyer anxiety we refuse to introduce.
Annual commitment required, but you have more flexibility than platforms requiring multi-year enterprise agreements. $4,000 annual minimum applies.
We export review data you can import into comp tools. Direct integrations may come later based on customer demand. Our roadmap is built on customer input.
