The real math
Where Workday Peakon Costs More (and Where It Costs Less)
Per-user pricing and flat platform pricing cross over somewhere. Below that point one is cheap and the other is absurd, and above it they swap. These charts plot only rates the vendors publish.
What each one costs per year, as your team grows
Published rates only, verified July 30, 2026. Flat platform pricing and per-user pricing cross over - where they cross is the whole decision for a small team.
- 15Five
- Total Platform $16/user/mo, billed annually
- Lattice
- Foundations $13/user/mo, billed annually, with the $4,000/yr minimum spend
- Workleap
- Standard tier, a flat $4,999/yr however many people you have (Pro is $11,999/yr for more features); Enterprise is quote-only above 250 employees
- TeamPredict
- $5/tracked employee/mo, month-to-month, no minimum - charted here tracking every employee, which is the most expensive way to run it
Not plotted: Culture Amp, Leapsome, Workday Peakon publish no rates, so any line for them would be invented. Ask them for a quote and plot it yourself.
Annual cost for a 25-person company
Our arithmetic over each vendor's published rates, verified July 30, 2026. Cheapest first.
- TeamPredict$1,500/yr · $60 per person
- Lattice$4,000/yr · $160 per person
- 15Five$4,800/yr · $192 per person
- Workleap$4,999/yr · $200 per person
Worth knowing: TeamPredict bills per tracked employee, and most teams track a shortlist rather than everyone - so the real bill is usually a fraction of the line above. Culture Amp, Leapsome, Workday Peakon publish no rates and are left out rather than guessed at.
Annual cost for a 100-person company
Our arithmetic over each vendor's published rates, verified July 30, 2026. Cheapest first.
- Workleap$4,999/yr · $50 per person
- TeamPredict$6,000/yr · $60 per person
- Lattice$15,600/yr · $156 per person
- 15Five$19,200/yr · $192 per person
Worth knowing: TeamPredict bills per tracked employee, and most teams track a shortlist rather than everyone - so the real bill is usually a fraction of the line above. Culture Amp, Leapsome, Workday Peakon publish no rates and are left out rather than guessed at.
No public number - how to budget anyway
We don't print guessed prices: a made-up number would be worse than none. What the sales conversation will cover, based on how Workday Peakon packages the product: No public pricing: Workday Peakon is sold through Workday's enterprise sales process. Go in with your headcount, the modules you actually need, and a walk-away number - and get the quote in writing with renewal terms.
What the sticker price leaves out
The published rate is rarely the whole bill. For Workday Peakon, these are the things that move the real number.
- No public price at any size, and no self-serve path: the only way to a number is Workday's enterprise sales process.
- Full value effectively assumes Workday HCM - reviewers consistently flag weak integration outside that ecosystem.
- Third-party negotiation guides put implementation in the tens of thousands and per-integration builds higher again; none of this is vendor-published.
- Renewal uplifts are a live negotiation point in those same guides, so the first-year number is not the steady-state number.
Price history
Peakon used to publish real per-seat prices. They were deleted in 2019 and never came back
Jan 2019
peakon.com/pricing lists three tiers with live prices: Essential $3.50/user/mo, Business $6/user/mo, Premier custom - plus a 30-day free trial, no credit card.
Oct 2019
Prices rise: Business goes to $7 (+17%) and Premier gets a price for the first time, from $12/user/mo.
Nov 2019
Every price disappears, replaced by "Book a demo". The list had survived about five weeks after the increase.
May 2021
Two months after the Workday acquisition closes, the pricing page is removed entirely and redirects away.
Aug 2026
Workday has never republished a price for Peakon. It is quote-only, through Workday's enterprise sales process.
How we checked: Read from web.archive.org snapshots of peakon.com/pricing, 2019-2021, and Workday's live product pages today. Workday Peakon can change prices at any time - this is history, not a forecast.
Why this matters more than the sticker price
You are not buying today's price, you are buying the renewal. A vendor's published-price history is the closest thing to a forecast you can get for free: it shows whether increases are a habit, whether products get removed from the plan you bought, and whether transparency itself is trending in the right direction.
We check this by reading archived copies of each vendor's own pricing page, so the before-and-after is their wording, not our characterisation of it.
Who actually uses Workday Peakon
The review base is the honest answer to “is this built for a team like mine?” For Workday Peakon it's mid-market (64% of reviewers).
- Small business ≤50 staff
- 5%
- Mid-market 51-1,000
- 64%
- Enterprise 1,000+
- 31%
Source: G2 reviewer counts (6 small / 73 mid-market / 35 enterprise, 114 reviews). Counter-intuitive for an enterprise product: G2's Peakon reviewers are mostly mid-market. Capterra's smaller base skews differently again (39% small / 25% mid / 36% enterprise).
