Transparent Pricing

Replace five tools. Pay less.

The average fragmented management stack costs $25–30 per seat per month — across tools that share no data and produce no intelligence. Cadence replaces all of it, starting at $12/seat/month.

Pricing FAQ

Answers to common questions.

What's the difference between beta pricing and GA pricing?
During beta, access is invitation-only and pricing is discussed individually. The $12 / $24 / $48 tiers reflect our GA targets. We'll provide 90+ days notice before transitioning any beta participant to GA pricing, and beta participants will receive preferential terms.
What's the minimum seat count?
Essentials starts at 50 seats. Professional starts at 100 seats. Enterprise is custom. If you're below the minimums, reach out anyway.
Is there an annual commitment required?
The published pricing is for annual billing. Monthly billing is available at a 20% premium. Multi-year agreements receive additional discounts.
What tools does Cadence replace?
Cadence Essentials replaces 15Five (or equivalent), a standalone recognition platform, and your survey tool. Professional adds 9-box calibration, ER case management, and the Culture Scorecard intelligence layer. Most Professional customers consolidate 4–6 tools into one.
Do you offer a free trial?
During beta, access is by invitation only rather than open trial. We offer a live walkthrough with sample data. Once we move to GA, we'll offer a standard free trial.
