Nami
Comparison — Nami vs Lattice

The Slack-native Lattice alternative

Lattice is a broad, standalone HR suite that lives in its own app. Nami delivers the performance outcomes teams actually use — reviews, OKRs, engagement, calibration — inside Slack, at one simple price.

Why teams switch

What Lattice makes hard, Nami makes lighter.

Lattice is a capable people-management platform sold mostly to mid-market and enterprise HR teams. The friction isn't the feature list — it's that it's one more standalone app, priced per module, that employees have to be pulled into.

01

With Lattice

Reviews and check-ins live in a separate app, so completion stalls — managers spend weeks chasing people to log in.

With Nami

Nami runs the whole review in the Slack DM employees already read, and nudges only the people who haven't finished — not the whole channel.

02

With Lattice

Pricing is per-module and quoted by sales, so the bill climbs every time you add engagement, growth, or analytics.

With Nami

One plan at $5/user/month with reviews, OKRs, surveys, calibration, and analytics all included. Free under 10 people.

03

With Lattice

Standing it up is a project — implementation, admin training, and change management before anyone runs a cycle.

With Nami

Install with Slack OAuth and launch your first cycle in about five minutes. No onboarding services.

04

With Lattice

Competency matrices start blank — someone has to write every level descriptor before a review means anything.

With Nami

Eight career ladders ship fully written, so reviewers aren't guessing what a rating means.

Implementation & onboarding

Reflects Nami's current feature set and Lattice's publicly described capabilities. Vendor features and pricing change — verify specifics for your plan.

Same outcomes Lattice promises — reviews, goals, engagement — without the separate login, the per-module invoice, or the rollout. It just lives in Slack.

In fairness

When Lattice is the better choice

If you need a deep standalone HR suite with dedicated learning and growth modules (Lattice Grow), a large implementation/services motion, and heavyweight enterprise procurement features, Lattice is built for that. Nami is for teams that want reviews their people actually complete, without the overhead — inside Slack.

FAQ

Lattice alternative — questions

Don't see yours? Email hello@namihr.com.

Is Nami a good Lattice alternative?
Yes — for teams whose people live in Slack. Nami covers the Lattice outcomes most teams actually use (360° reviews, OKRs, engagement surveys, competency frameworks, 9-box calibration) but delivers them inside Slack at $5/user/month, with a free tier for teams of 10 or fewer.
How does Nami's pricing compare to Lattice?
Nami is a single all-inclusive plan at $5/user/month (free under 10 users), with no per-module add-ons. Lattice is typically priced per module and quoted by sales, so the per-seat cost usually ends up higher once you add the modules a performance program needs.
Can I migrate from Lattice to Nami?
Yes. Import your team and reporting structure via CSV (or directly from Slack), and rebuild or paste in your competency ladder. Partner Programme customers get hands-on migration help.
What does Lattice do that Nami doesn't?
Lattice includes dedicated learning and growth modules and a deeper enterprise services motion. Nami does not offer learning paths today — if that's central to your program, Lattice may fit better.
