Together Mentoring Alternative: Together vs Mentornity
A Together mentoring alternative is worth looking at if you want published pricing, a free way to start, or a platform built for more than corporate HR programs. Together is an employee mentoring platform sold through demos and custom quotes. Mentornity publishes its prices per country and is free for up to 10 users. Which one fits depends on your program, not on a feature count.
This page sets out what each vendor says about itself, side by side, so you can decide what to ask in a demo.
Read this first. Mentornity publishes this page, so we are an interested party. Everything about Together below comes from Together’s own website, checked in October 2026, with the page named next to each fact. We did not include review scores or Together’s own performance figures. Prices and features change: confirm everything with Together before you decide.

How does Together pricing work?
Together does not publish prices. Its pricing page describes “custom solutions” and sends you to a demo. It states three things about how the price is built (source: togetherplatform.com/pricing, checked October 2026):
- Active users. You “only pay for actively matched users that are actually participating”.
- What goes into a quote. The number of learners, the match types and your program goals.
- What is included. Implementation and support, with no initiation fees. All plans list intelligent matching, program templates, tracking and reporting, HRIS and SSO integrations, and scalable support.
The page names no plans and shows no amounts. If you are comparing costs, ask Together for a written quote at your expected number of matched participants, and ask how “actively matched” is measured over a contract year.
Mentornity takes the opposite approach: the price is published for each country, it is free for up to 10 users, and white labeling and SAML SSO are priced separately. Neither model is right for everyone. A quote can bundle services a published price leaves out, and a published price lets you budget before a sales call.
When is Together the better fit?
Together is a sensible choice in several situations, and you should know them before you switch.
- Your HR stack drives the decision. Together names specific HRIS integrations (Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, BambooHR, UKG) and a REST user API and SFTP for data. If automatic sync with one of those systems is a hard requirement, Together lists it; Mentornity’s pages do not.
- Procurement needs SOC 2. Together states it is SOC 2 certified. If your security review requires a SOC 2 report, that is a direct match.
- You live in Slack or Microsoft Teams. Together lists Slack invitations and a Microsoft Teams app. If participants rarely leave chat tools, that matters.
- You want implementation bundled. Together says implementation and support are included in its pricing, which suits teams who want a vendor-led rollout.
- You run several formats in one place. Together lists ERGs, coffee chats, peer learning and an Absorb LMS connection next to mentoring. If one employee-connection platform is the goal, its product range is broader in that direction.
When might a lighter tool fit?
A self-serve platform with published pricing can make more sense when:
- You want to try it before a sales call. With a free plan you can build the program, import real profiles and run matching before anyone asks for a contract.
- Your program is not a corporate HR program. Accelerators, universities, alumni networks and communities often need public application forms, office-hour booking and certificates more than HRIS sync.
- You need to explain every match. If participants or sponsors ask why two people were paired, a rule-based score with each rule shown can be easier to defend. Our guide to matching mentors and mentees covers how to design those rules.
- Your participants work in several languages. Check which languages each vendor actually supports in the interface and in notification emails, and ask for a demo in each one.
- Budget has to be known up front. A published per-country price lets you get approval without waiting for a quote.
What questions should you ask in a demo?
Whichever vendor you evaluate, the same questions surface the real differences:
- What will we pay at our expected number of participants, in writing, including SSO and any setup?
- How does matching decide, and can an admin see and override why a pair was suggested?
- How do participants book meetings, and which calendars and video tools are connected?
- Which languages does the interface run in, and are emails sent in each person’s language?
- Can we run a short pilot with real mentors and mentees before signing an annual contract?
What other alternatives should you consider?
Together is one of several mentoring platforms. For a wider view:
- Best mentoring software compared: eight platforms side by side on public pricing, free plans, segment, scheduling and languages.
- Free mentoring software: options that let you start without paying.
