But only Risely delivered this for us. Risely's team has been super helpful and responsive, and the AI component, Merlin, is really amazing."

The difference between plans is who sees the data. On Individual plans, the user sees their own growth. On Team and Enterprise plans, HR sees aggregate skill data, engagement metrics, and progress reports.

Your coaching data stays private.
Self-driven coaching conversations are fully private. On assigned coaching plans, HR gets engagement metrics and skill scores. Never conversation details. Risely does not use individual coaching data to train AI models.
Read our privacy policy →Frequently asked questions
Can I try Risely before buying?
Yes. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial with full product access. No credit card required. Most users have their first coaching conversation within 5 minutes of signing up.
What happens after the free trial?
If you subscribe, your coaching history, skill assessments, and learning journey progress carry over. If you don't, your data is retained for 30 days in case you change your mind.
How does Team plan billing work?
The Team plan starts at $399/month for 5 users. Each additional user is $49/month. You can add or remove users at any time. No minimum contract length on monthly plans.
We have 2-3 users. Do we need the Team plan?
Not necessarily. Individual plans work well for small groups. The Team plan adds admin dashboards, assigned coaching plans, and team-level reporting. If you don't need admin features, Individual plans are the right fit. You can upgrade anytime.
What data does HR see on Team and Enterprise plans?
Skill assessment scores (before and after), engagement levels, learning journey progress, and session summaries. Coaching conversation content stays private.
Can I start with Individual and upgrade to Team later?
Yes. Individual users can transition to a Team plan at any time. Assessment data and coaching history carry over.
We already have an LMS. Why do we need Risely?
An LMS delivers content. Risely delivers coaching. They solve different problems. Your LMS handles compliance training, onboarding courses, and knowledge delivery. Risely handles behavior change: helping people actually improve how they communicate, delegate, give feedback, and lead. Most organizations use both.
How does enterprise pricing work?
Enterprise pricing is volume-based and negotiated for organizations deploying across 50+ users. Annual contracts. Includes custom integrations, dedicated support, and org-specific configurations. Contact us for details.
Do you offer nonprofit pricing?
Yes. We work with several nonprofits including Best Friends Animal Society and Tuolumne Me-Wuk Indian Health Center. Contact us for nonprofit pricing details.
How long does implementation take?
Individual and Team plans: zero implementation. Sign up, invite users, they get their first daily nudge within minutes. 87% engage in week one. Enterprise deployments with custom integrations typically take 2-4 weeks.
Should we deploy to managers only or include ICs?
Most organizations start with new managers (10-20 users) to prove ROI. Average 26% skill improvement in 12 weeks. Once managers see results, they request it for their teams. The IC program (people skills) typically follows 3-6 months later. You don't need to deploy to 200 people on day one. Start with your highest-impact cohort.
Is this worth $59/month?
Industry research shows failed new-manager transitions cost $50K-100K in turnover, lost productivity, and rehiring. One mishandled conflict costs weeks of team productivity. Risely costs less per month than a single hour of traditional coaching, and it works every day.
