Lattice vs Doozy: A Complete Comparison Guide for Slack Teams
Comparing Lattice's performance management platform with Doozy's Slack-native engagement tools. Understand when each solution makes sense and how they can work together.
Lattice and Doozy both help organizations build better workplaces, but they start from very different places. Lattice is a performance management platform built for HR teams to run review cycles, set goals, and manage compensation. Doozy is a Slack-native engagement platform that brings connection, recognition, and feedback into your team's daily workflow.
This guide is designed to help you understand where each tool shines, where they overlap, and how they can work together.

What is Doozy?
Doozy is built entirely for Slack, not adapted to it. Every feature is designed around how distributed teams actually communicate, so engagement happens in the flow of work rather than in a separate platform.

- Introductions: Smart ice-breakers and onboarding introductions for new hires
- Coffee Chats: AI-powered 1:1 matching to build cross-functional relationships
- Surveys & Feedback: Pulse surveys, eNPS, team check-ins, and anonymous feedback

- Team Bonding: Games, trivia, and interactive activities within Slack
- Quizzes & Learning: Training assessments and AI-generated knowledge checks
- Tracks: Multi-step onboarding and learning journeys
Doozy is designed for everyone in your organization — from individual contributors who want to recognize colleagues, to team leads running quick check-ins, to HR teams analyzing engagement trends.

When Lattice is the Right Choice
Lattice excels when your organization needs:
Structured Performance Cycles
If you run formal performance reviews, talent reviews, calibration sessions, and promotion cycles, Lattice provides the end-to-end workflows that HR teams need. It handles 360 reviews, manager assessments, and calibration tools out of the box.
Goals & OKR Alignment
Lattice's goal-setting framework lets you cascade company objectives down to team and individual levels, with integrations into tools like Jira and Salesforce. If OKR alignment is critical to how your organization operates, Lattice handles this well.
Compensation Management
For organizations that need to run structured compensation reviews with benchmarking data, pay bands, and equity analysis, Lattice's Compensation module brings that workflow into the same platform as your performance data.
When Doozy is the Right Choice
Doozy excels when your team needs:
Slack-Native Experience
Doozy lives where your team already works. No new logins, no new tabs, no "another tool to check." Engagement happens naturally in the flow of work. Every feature is built for Slack, not bolted on.
5-Minute Setup
Enterprise platforms require weeks of configuration, admin training, and change management. Doozy is live in minutes with no IT involvement. Your team can send their first shoutout or launch a pulse survey today.
Transparent, Predictable Pricing
Doozy costs $2.60/user/month (billed annually). All features included. No add-on modules, no tiers. Lattice starts at $11/seat/month for the base platform, with Engagement, Grow, and Compensation each costing extra.
Team-Level Empowerment
Any team lead can run a quick pulse check, kick off a recognition program, or schedule a trivia session without waiting for HR. Doozy democratizes engagement across the organization.
Connection Beyond Measurement
Performance management captures outcomes. Daily connection (celebrations, coffee chats, games, and peer recognition) creates the culture that drives those outcomes. Doozy focuses on these everyday moments that make people feel like they belong.
The Deployment Reality
One of the biggest practical differences isn't about features. It's about how quickly you can start improving engagement:
| Factor | Lattice | Doozy |
|---|---|---|
| Time to Deploy | Weeks (with onboarding support) | 5 minutes |
| IT Involvement | Often required (SSO, HRIS sync) | None (just add to Slack) |
| Training Needed | Admin training for HR team | Intuitive (employees "just use it") |
| Contract Length | Annual contracts | Monthly or annual (cancel anytime) |
| Minimum Seats | May apply | None |

Using Lattice and Doozy Together
Lattice and Doozy are natural complements.
Lattice handles the structured side of people management: reviews, goals, compensation. But between those quarterly or annual cycles, teams need daily engagement. That's where Doozy fits.
Many organizations use Lattice for formal talent management while using Doozy for:
- Daily recognition that keeps morale high between review cycles
- Team-level pulse checks without waiting for an org-wide engagement survey rollout
- New hire connections through coffee chats and introductions during the critical onboarding window
- Celebrations that make milestones feel personal
- Quick feedback loops when you need answers today, not next quarter
- Team bonding through games, trivia, and icebreakers that build relationships across distributed teams
This combination gives you structured talent management (Lattice) alongside everyday engagement tools that build culture (Doozy). One tracks how people are performing; the other helps them feel connected enough to perform at their best.
