Pricing FAQ
Cadence pricing includes live access to the management operating plane: structured 1:1s, goals, recognition, surveys, ER context, job architecture, and plan-specific intelligence features. Roadmap capabilities are labeled separately and are not counted as buyable-today deliverables.
Yes. Essentials and Professional plans use the self-serve signup path, with transparent annual seat pricing and plan minimums. Enterprise plans use a sales-led path for larger deployments, SSO, data-retention configuration, DPA needs, and dedicated customer success.
Cadence is priced as one relationship-centered management operating plane. It can reduce the need for separate point tools across performance, survey, recognition, OKR, meeting, and ER workflows, but customers should compare current live Cadence scope against their own stack requirements.
