Surveys tell you how people feel. AI agents show you how they perform.
Leapsome measures engagement through surveys and feedback. Confirm's AI agents reveal who actually drives results — using behavioral ONA data that no survey can capture — delivered right in Slack and Teams.
The gap between engagement and performance
Leapsome excels at measuring how employees feel. But engaged employees aren't always your top performers — and your top performers aren't always engaged. Sentiment and impact are fundamentally different dimensions.
Engagement ≠ Performance
Your most engaged employees might be enthusiastic but ineffective. Your quiet top performers might score low on engagement surveys while carrying the team. Surveys alone can't tell the difference.
Survey fatigue is real
The more surveys you run, the less thoughtful the responses. Eventually you're measuring survey tolerance, not genuine sentiment — and response rates quietly drop each cycle.
Feedback is political
360 feedback becomes reputation management. People protect relationships, avoid honest assessments, and game the system. You end up measuring popularity, not impact.
Add-on pricing adds up
Leapsome charges separately for Reviews, Goals/OKRs, Engagement surveys, and Learning. Building a full-featured platform quickly costs $20–25+/user/month before you're done.
What makes Confirm different
Confirm uses Organizational Network Analysis (ONA) to measure actual behavior and collaboration — not self-reported sentiment. AI coaching agents then act on that data, right in Slack and Teams.
Behavioral ONA: Performance you can see, not just feel
ONA analyzes real collaboration patterns — who people depend on, who drives decisions, who connects teams, who's at flight risk. This reveals actual impact that no survey can capture.
- Identify true impact regardless of engagement scores or survey results
- See collaboration health without asking employees about it
- Surface hidden contributors who don't self-promote
- Detect retention risk 60+ days before it becomes resignation
- Make calibration decisions based on evidence, not opinions
🤖 AI agents in Slack & Teams
Confirm's coaching agents proactively notify managers in their existing workflow. No new dashboard to log into. No nagging employees to complete surveys. Actionable insights arrive where work happens.
📊 Complete platform — one price
Performance reviews, 360 feedback, engagement surveys, goal tracking, ONA insights, AI coaching, and calibration tools — all included. No module pricing, no add-on surprises.
⚡ Deploy in 5 weeks
Ranked #2 Easiest to Implement on G2. White-glove onboarding, pre-built HRIS integrations, and a dedicated implementation team — not self-serve video training.
🔒 Zero survey fatigue
ONA data is passive — collected from existing collaboration tools with employee consent. Pair it with targeted pulse surveys when you need sentiment signals. Best of both worlds.
🎯 Bias-resistant calibration
ONA data surfaces performance signals that manager bias can't override. Quiet contributors get recognized. High-confidence performers aren't over-promoted based on self-advocacy.

Common questions
Can I use Confirm with Leapsome?
Yes. Some companies use Leapsome for engagement surveys while using Confirm for ONA-powered performance insights. They measure different things and can complement each other. However, most teams that switch to Confirm find they no longer need Leapsome — since Confirm includes engagement surveys plus ONA behavioral data.
Does Leapsome have ONA?
No. Leapsome relies entirely on survey data and self-reported feedback. Confirm is the only major performance management platform with built-in Organizational Network Analysis (ONA) that surfaces performance insights from actual collaboration behavior — not just what employees self-report.
Can Confirm replace Leapsome completely?
Yes. Confirm includes performance reviews, 360 feedback, engagement surveys, goal tracking, AI manager coaching, and ONA — everything Leapsome offers, plus behavioral data that Leapsome cannot provide. Most customers fully replace Leapsome and reduce their per-user cost in the process.
How long does Confirm take to deploy vs Leapsome?
Confirm's average deployment is 5 weeks with white-glove onboarding included at no extra charge. Leapsome typically takes 8–16 weeks with self-serve setup and video-based training resources. Confirm is ranked #2 Easiest to Implement on G2.
How is ONA different from 360 feedback?
360 feedback asks people to rate colleagues — which creates gaming and bias. ONA passively analyzes actual collaboration patterns without requiring active feedback. It reveals impact based on behavior, not opinion. The result is promotion decisions and performance ratings that are more accurate and more defensible.
Does Confirm work with Slack and Teams?
Yes. Confirm's AI coaching agents work directly in Slack and Microsoft Teams — no new login required. Managers receive proactive coaching nudges, performance alerts, and retention risk flags in their existing workflow. Leapsome requires employees and managers to log into a separate platform.
Does Confirm do engagement surveys?
Yes. Confirm has full engagement survey functionality. The difference is we combine survey data with ONA insights for a complete picture — so you see both how people feel and how they actually behave and collaborate. Better signal, less survey noise.
Is employee data safe?
Yes. Confirm is SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR compliant. ONA data is aggregated and anonymized — we never show individual communication content. Employees can see exactly what data is collected and can opt out of ONA analysis at any time.
