PI is powerful, but not for everyone
Predictive Index is a robust platform trusted by many enterprises. But some teams are looking for a simpler, more accessible approach.
17 profiles to learn
Predictive Index uses 17 Reference Profiles like "Maverick," "Artisan," and "Venturer." It's a robust system, but requires more training to use effectively.
Enterprise-level pricing
PI starts at $7,550/year with annual contracts—great for large organizations, but may be more than smaller teams need.
Sales-assisted purchasing
PI requires a sales conversation and annual commitment. Some teams prefer a more self-service approach to get started.
Certification recommended
PI recommends certification workshops ($750 each) for optimal use. It's thorough training, but adds time before you see results.
