Frequently Asked Questions

How is Engagedly different from Leapsome?

Leapsome and Engagedly both offer performance, engagement, and learning in one platform. The difference is depth. Engagedly includes a full LXP with skill libraries and a partner content library, gamified recognition with a custom rewards storefront, and a dedicated account manager and onboarding manager included in the base price, not gated behind a $6K upgrade. Leapsome is a clean lightweight option. Engagedly is what you grow into.

Does Leapsome have gamified recognition or a rewards storefront?

No. Leapsome's recognition is limited to badges and social praise. There's no gamification, no points or leaderboards, no gift card storefront, no custom rewards. Engagedly includes all of them, so recognition becomes a daily behavior tied to the outcomes you care about.

Why is Leapsome's support charged separately?

Leapsome includes a dedicated account manager and onboarding manager only at their higher-priced tier (typically $6,000+ per year on top of seat licenses). Engagedly includes both at every tier, so you're not paying extra for someone to call when something breaks.

How does Engagedly's AI compare to Leapsome's?

Marissa™ AI powers learning recommendations, engagement nudges, skill gap analysis, performance predictions, and career pathing across the entire platform. Leapsome's AI focuses on review writing assistance and goal suggestions. Different scope, different outcomes.

Will Engagedly scale with us the way Leapsome does?

Yes. Engagedly serves teams from a few hundred to tens of thousands of employees, across both desk-based and frontline workforces. The platform's depth in learning, recognition, and talent mobility means you won't outgrow it as your headcount or sophistication grows.
