Effy takes a deliberately focused approach to performance management. Instead of shipping fifteen modules employees never open, it concentrates on the two things most HR teams actually need to run: review cycles and the goals that should inform them. That means 360-degree feedback, peer reviews, upward reviews, self-assessments, probation check-ins and annual reviews, all with customizable forms, flexible workflows, visibility and anonymisation controls, and automated reminders through Slack and email.
The AI layer is where Effy saves the most time. Raw feedback is turned into clear summaries and reports ready to present, so managers spend their effort on conversations rather than on assembling comments into a document. Goals and OKRs cascade from company to team to individual level, with progress tracked as measurable metrics, project-style action items or auto-calculated values from child goals, and stakeholder reviews of accomplishments are built in.
Effy leans hard into the done-with-you model. The company reports that 350+ organisations across more than 30 countries use it and that 84% of customers launch without an implementation call, since most HR teams can run their first cycle the same day they sign up. Pricing starts at $3 per seat per month with no implementation fees, and the free plan covers up to five users with no time limit. Review data is hosted on AWS with an EU region available for data residency, and the platform states GDPR compliance with retention and deletion controls.
