Annual fees for occasional use
Most teams run a 360 for a handful of leaders once a year. Paying a platform subscription for the other eleven months makes little sense.
For organisations that run 360s once or twice a year
360 feedback, pay as you go.
Most 360 feedback tools want an annual subscription before you run a single review. WorkplaceHero Leadership 360 is pay as you go: £30 plus VAT per leader, with anonymous reviewer groups and a development-focused report.
Why subscription 360 tools rarely fit SMEs
Unused licences expire
Pre-bought seat bundles go to waste when plans change. With WorkplaceHero you spend credits only when a cycle launches.
Inflated scores, vague reports
Agree/disagree scales invite generous marking. Observed-frequency questions and a Not observed option give a truer picture.
Reports that go in a drawer
Every insight can become a 1:1 topic or a Growth Goal, so feedback turns into development instead of a PDF nobody reopens.

Questions
How much does a Leadership 360 cost?
6 credits per leader, which is £30 plus VAT at the standard credit price. Credits are cheaper in larger packs and expire 12 months after purchase.
Do we need a subscription?
No. You can run a Leadership 360 from a free workspace and only pay when you launch a cycle.
Is feedback anonymous?
Yes. Peer and direct-report responses are pooled so individual answers cannot be identified, and reviewers can mark a behaviour as Not observed instead of guessing.
How is it different from other 360 tools?
Questions describe observable behaviour on a frequency scale, which reduces score inflation. Report insights can be saved straight to a 1:1 agenda or turned into a Growth Goal.
Can we see a sample report?
Yes. There is an interactive sample report on the Leadership 360 page using fictional data.
What about whole-organisation surveys?
Organisation 360 is also bought when you run it, from £350, with an executive report and department comparisons.
