Honestly review

Honestly is an employee survey platform built to connect feedback with follow-up. HR teams can run pulse, annual, onboarding, exit, leadership, eNPS, custom, 360-degree, and psychological risk assessment surveys. Ready-to-use templates provide scientifically validated questions for different points in the employee lifecycle.

Results are presented in dashboards, with AI comment analysis intended to group open-text feedback and surface patterns and priority topics by team. The action workflow is the distinction: teams can turn insights into initiatives, assign owners and due dates, then track progress over time. That makes Honestly more than a survey collection tool on paper, though the features available depend on the plan.

The pricing page lists annual-billed plans from €2 per employee per month. Monthly-billed prices are not published.

The product’s clearest strength is the path from employee feedback to assigned work. Business includes initiative creation and tracking, while dashboards are available across the listed plans. Teams that already struggle to turn survey results into accountable follow-up may value having owners, due dates, and progress in the same platform.

Survey coverage is broad: the published feature list includes pulse, annual, onboarding, exit, leadership, eNPS, custom, 360-degree, and psychological risk assessment surveys. Templates and validated questions can also give HR teams a starting point rather than requiring every questionnaire to be built from scratch. Business adds advanced analytics and AI comment analysis; Enterprise adds AI initiative recommendations and comment summaries.

The annual entry price is comparatively easy to understand: according to the pricing details, Team starts at €2 per employee per month, Business at €2.50, and Enterprise at €3.50. All listed rates are annual-billed, and prices decrease with more employees. Team includes email and app surveys, unlimited dashboards and reports, role-based access, employee groups, and premium online support. That gives smaller teams a defined starting tier without requiring them to buy Enterprise for basic survey reporting.

The headline prices don’t tell the whole cost story. Monthly-billed rates are not published, and the pricing details don’t give employee-count thresholds for the lower rates available to larger teams. There is no free plan, and trial terms are not listed on the vendor's site. Teams should ask for a quote before comparing annual totals with another platform.

Several capabilities are plan-gated or sold as add-ons. Initiative creation and tracking, advanced analytics, and AI comment analysis are listed in Business, not Team. Team’s add-ons include AI Assistant, Anonymous Employee Chat, participation through Slack, Teams, or code, and Advanced Analytics. Business add-ons include SSO, 360-degree feedback, personal data masking, custom integrations, and multilingual support. Enterprise lists 360-degree feedback as an add-on. Add-on prices are not published, so the entry price may not cover the features a buyer expects.

The published pricing details also don’t state seat minimums, maximums, or numeric usage caps. That is not proof there are none; confirm those limits, plus implementation and support terms, in a quote.

According to the pricing details checked November 7, 2026, Honestly’s annual-billing rates start at €2 per employee per month for Team, rise to €2.50 for Business, and reach €3.50 for Enterprise. That’s a €0.50-per-employee step from Team to Business, then €1 more to Enterprise. Prices decrease with more employees, but the pricing details don’t publish the thresholds or discounted rates.

Team covers email and app surveys, validated or custom questions, unlimited dashboards and reports, and role-based access. Initiative creation and tracking, advanced analytics, AI comment analysis, and surveys via Teams, Slack, or code are listed under Business—not Team. Enterprise adds AI initiative recommendations, anonymous employee chat, multilingual surveys and dashboards, and SSO/SAML.

All listed rates require annual billing. Monthly-billed prices are not published, so don’t assume the annual rate is available month to month. Add-ons include AI Assistant and other modules, but their prices aren’t published. Check which features your plan includes and get add-on pricing in writing before comparing the total with your current platform.

Honestly’s product information describes surveys, dashboards, and tracked initiatives, but it does not say whether you can import historical survey data, export responses and reports, or migrate users and permissions. Migration effort and lock-in are therefore unclear from the available information. Before switching, ask for sample exports, supported import formats, data-retention terms, and what happens to your data when you leave.

Plan differences matter during a move: initiative tracking and AI comment analysis are listed under Business, while Team covers surveys and reporting. Confirm the features you rely on are included in your quote, rather than assuming every advertised capability comes with every plan. Add-on prices are not published.

We don’t have Reddit posts or comments in the published material, so we can’t substantiate what users say makes them leave Honestly. The brief also flags public user feedback as a limitation for shoppers. Ask the vendor for references and a clear exit process; don’t treat migration or data portability as confirmed until Honestly answers those questions in writing.
