See the bottlenecks no performance report can explain.

A missed handoff can look like low performance. Cooperly finds the unclear owner, unresolved conflict or key-person dependency behind it, then gives the team an agreement to test.

  1. See the relationship behind the result

    Profiles and Fundamentals show where expectations diverge.

  2. Find where growth gets stuck

    Pulse connects a missed handoff to its pressure or dependency.

  3. Build the capability into the team

    The roadmap gives the agreement an owner and follow-up.

Why choose Cooperly as a Workleap alternative?

Start with the outcome you need.

The two products start at a different level.

Cooperly

Cooperly starts with the relationship inside one team. Profiles explain how specific people work, Pulse shows what changed, and the roadmap gives the manager an action to discuss and revisit.

Workleap

Workleap starts from organisation records and routes performance, engagement and AI through the platform. Cooperly starts with a real relationship or handoff, gives the people involved an agreement to test and lets the owner see whether that local change removes a company bottleneck. Source for The two products start at a different level.

Choose Cooperly when the team relationship and next conversation need to change. Consider Workleap only when the purchase brief requires organisation-wide people processes to live in the same platform.

MCP access is not the difference on its own.

Cooperly

Cooperly makes selected profiles, team signals, goals, facts and memory available read-only to approved AI tools. The result is context for planning, delegation and difficult conversations with the real team in view.

Workleap

Workleap extends its platform records and write actions into external AI under the connected user's identity. Cooperly exposes permissioned relationship context read-only, so the AI can prepare a better decision while the people involved remain the authority over what changes. Source for MCP access is not the difference on its own.

Choose Cooperly MCP when the AI needs portable relationship context and the people involved should remain the final authority. Use Workleap MCP when the AI must act on Workleap platform records.

The same handoff keeps climbing back to the owner.

Two teams hit their own targets but lose time between them. Cooperly puts the signal beside both teams’ context so they can agree one handoff and stop escalating it.

High risk

Decisions and priorities still flow through too few people.

01

Freeze one shared format for feedback and revisions

Evidence3
The team needs one cleaner comment path immediately so work stops getting reopened through scattered clarification.

Priya Dawson

Why this owner

She can make the rule practical enough to use this week instead of turning it into process theatre.

Questions about Cooperly and Workleap

Cooperly brings approved team context into the AI tools your people already use. Profiles, signals and shared agreements help prepare a useful conversation without buying a wider HR platform for MCP access. The company plan includes read-only MCP; your chosen AI client has its own plan and usage terms.

Cooperly compares with Officevibe on team feedback and with Workleap on the wider platform purchase. Officevibe is part of Workleap, alongside its other people products. Cooperly's company plan focuses on working relationships and portable team context, so compare the workflows your company will actually use.

Cooperly includes MCP in both team-size plans: Up to 10 people: £240/year (£25/month billed yearly). 11–50 people: £948/year (£99/month billed yearly). MCP and approved integrations are included in both team-size plans. Workleap lists MCP in Pro, starting at $11,999 a year.

Compare the plans with MCP

Cooperly supplies context to your chosen AI without selling a separate Cooperly conversation allowance. Workleap includes three AI uses per person each month in a shared pool capped at 1,000; AI+ is listed at $4 per user each month. ChatGPT or Claude's own plan and usage terms still apply when you use Cooperly.

Cooperly makes selected profiles, team signals, goals and team memory available read-only, within account, role and team permissions. The AI can use that context to help prepare a decision; it cannot use this read-only connection to change Cooperly records. Owners retain control of which integrations and teams are enabled.

Read about MCP access and permissions

Cooperly can sync roadmaps into managed destinations in Linear and Notion, so teams can follow actions where they already track work. MCP separately lets approved AI tools read the people context behind those actions. Your team can use both paths without moving every conversation into Cooperly.
