OnPay vs 15Five FAQ
- Which one is cheaper?
- 15Five is the cheaper option, starting at $4/mo vs $15/mo for OnPay.
- Can I use either one for free?
- Neither has a free plan.
- How do they charge?
- Different approach here. OnPay uses hybrid pricing, while 15Five goes with per-seat. That changes the math depending on your team size and usage.
- Which one is a better deal?
- Depends on what you need. OnPay: At $49 base, OnPay lands mid-market — cheaper than Gusto and Rippling's higher tiers but not competing on rock-bottom price like some payroll-only tools. The a la carte HR add-ons suggest they're chasing small businesses that want to pay only for what they use rather than getting locked into a bundled all-in-one HR suite. 15Five: They're mid-market priced — not trying to undercut Lattice or Culture Amp, but not charging enterprise rates either. At $16 all-in, they're competitive against Lattice's ~$11–17 range and positioned as a more integrated alternative to buying separate engagement and performance tools from different vendors.
