15Five is a performance-management platform built around weekly check-ins, OKRs, one-on-ones and reviews. Trivo is a team-health check-in — no performance layer. Here's an honest comparison.
Trivo is for
A quick, anonymous team check-in a leader runs before the sync — three numbers, comments, split detection and an AI summary. Not a performance tool.
15Five is for
A continuous performance-management platform: weekly individual check-ins, OKR/goal tracking, one-on-ones, reviews and recognition, manager-to-report.

Where Trivo wins
Three numbers, not forty questions — morale, quality and flow on a 1–9 scale, answered in a couple of minutes so people actually finish.
Built for the team, not the org chart — it runs before your team's sync and hands the team leader concrete, right-sized next steps.
Split detection — it flags when a team's answers pull apart instead of burying the disagreement inside a single average.
An AI Insight Report for every check-in — executive summary, the themes in the comments, and next steps, rewritten as responses come in.
Flat pricing, per team — from €29 a team, not a per-seat bill that climbs every time you hire.
Written feedback goes to the team leader only — company admins see the report, never the raw comments.
Being honest
Trivo does one small thing well. If any of these describe you, 15Five is the better call.
You want continuous performance management — goals/OKRs, one-on-ones and reviews in one place.
You need per-employee tracking and manager-to-report workflows, not anonymous team signal.
You're rolling out a company-wide performance and recognition programme, not a single-team check-in.
You need HRIS and chat integrations — Trivo sends check-ins by email only.
Why per-seat pricing doesn't scale
Typical per-seat tool
~€600+ / month
80 users × ~€8/user/month, and it climbs every time you hire.
Trivo — Department plan
€79 / month
Up to 5 teams, 20 members each — flat, whether you're at 40 people or 100.

Questions
They point in different directions. 15Five manages individual performance — goals, one-on-ones, reviews. Trivo measures how a team is doing, anonymously, before the sync. If you want performance management, 15Five fits; if you want honest team signal without a performance layer, Trivo does.
No. Responses are anonymous — no name is ever shown next to an answer, and written comments go to the team leader only. It's a read on the team, not on any one person.
Trivo is flat per team from €29 a month, rather than a per-seat performance-platform licence. You can start free on one team.
