Self-Serve Development & Coaching

TraitLab Pro vs. Truity: Integrated Depth vs. Test Variety

Truity is the closest competitor to TraitLab Pro in positioning — both are self-serve, credit-based, no-certification platforms built for team development and coaching. The difference is in how they deliver personality data. Truity offers a menu of separate tests (DISC, Enneagram, Big Five, 16 types, EQ) at $9-29 each, but each requires its own credit and its own test session. TraitLab Pro charges $24-49 for a single assessment that covers Big Five, strengths, working style, interpersonal style, Jungian typology, and Enneagram together. The real question: do you want the cheapest price per individual test, or the most personality data per dollar spent?

Quick Verdict

TraitLab Pro

Choose TraitLab Pro if you want integrated results across multiple validated frameworks from a single assessment session, especially for coaching or in-depth development work.

Truity

Choose Truity if you want the lowest per-test price and prefer to pick individual assessments a la carte, or if your team is already familiar with Truity's free consumer tests.

Key Differences

Truity's Advantages

  • Lower per-test price ($9-29 vs. $24-49)

  • Wider variety of separate assessment types including DISC, Emotional Intelligence, and Love Styles

  • Free consumer tests build brand familiarity — employees may have already taken Truity tests

  • Shorter individual assessments (5-20 min per test)

TraitLab Pro's Advantages

  • Integrated assessment — one credit covers a customizable combination of six areas, while Truity requires separate credits for each test type

  • When measuring multiple frameworks, TraitLab Pro may be more cost-effective (one $49 credit for six areas vs. multiple $29 credits at Truity)

  • Research-validated instruments with documented psychometric properties vs. Truity's implementations where specific validation is not publicly detailed

  • Single integrated report across all assessment areas vs. separate reports for each Truity test

  • Admin portal allows cross-framework comparison of team members in one view

  • Compact assessment option combines all six areas into a single 20-minute experience

Truity

Strengths

  • Budget-friendly pricing makes it accessible to cost-conscious teams and individual coaches

  • Wide variety of popular assessment types in one platform

  • Familiar brand from free consumer tests reduces adoption friction

  • Self-serve simplicity matches TraitLab Pro's ease of use

  • Quick individual assessments (5-20 min) minimize time commitment per test

Weaknesses

  • Each test is a separate, siloed assessment — no integrated cross-framework insights from a single assessment

  • Measuring multiple frameworks for one person requires multiple credits and multiple test sessions

  • Specific psychometric validation of Truity's implementations not publicly documented

  • Separate reports per test create fragmented insights compared to integrated assessment platforms

  • Lower price may reflect less measurement depth per assessment

The Bottom Line

Truity wins on per-test price and test variety. At $9-29 per test, it is the budget option for teams that only need one framework at a time. But that math changes when you want multiple frameworks for the same person — three Truity tests at $29 each costs $87 and requires three separate sessions, while one TraitLab Pro assessment at $49 covers six areas in one sitting. For coaches and HR professionals who want the richest possible personality picture from a single assessment, TraitLab Pro delivers more integrated data per dollar. For teams that just need a quick DISC or Enneagram result, Truity is hard to beat on price.
