PushFar in depth
Read the full write-up
Overview
PushFar combines mentoring software for organisations with an open network for individuals. It is best suited to employers, educational institutions and professional organisations that want to run structured programmes; its central appeal is broad control over matching and programme administration, while organisations should weigh custom pricing against the free individual network.
Founded in 2018 and headquartered in London, PushFar serves HR and learning and development teams as well as businesses and educational institutions. It sits in the Mentoring Software category, with Talent Marketplace Software relevant to organisations considering adjacent workforce tools.
Key features
Programme design and matching
Administrators can customise branding, questions, approvals, settings and matching rules, then choose AI-assisted matching, administrator-led pairings or participant self-selection. That range fits programmes with differing levels of structure, though teams seeking a single fixed workflow may not need all that control. Templates and matching workflows provide repeatable starting points.
Participant tools and reporting
Participants can set goals, schedule meetings, exchange private messages and use built-in video calling. Reporting covers mentoring activity, goals, meetings, feedback and surveys, giving administrators visibility into both participation and progress. This is a useful combination for programme owners, although the organisational offer's custom pricing makes it harder to judge cost against programme size before a demo.
Connections, security and support
PushFar documents SSO, calendar syncing, Microsoft Teams and Zoom integrations; other systems such as Workday can be connected through an account manager. Organisations can invite participants by unique registration links, SSO, CSV or API. The maker describes GDPR controls, role-based access and two-factor authentication for the administration panel. Organisational customers also receive account-based support, onboarding, training and ongoing customer success, which is valuable for teams implementing a managed programme.
Pricing
The Open mentoring network is free for individuals, at free. It lets people find a mentor, become a mentor or do both, making it a straightforward option for personal mentoring without an organisational programme.
The Organisational mentoring platform has custom pricing and requires a demo. It is aimed at organisations needing programme administration, matching, reporting and support; the free individual network is not a substitute for those controls. Organisations should request a demo to understand the price and discuss connections beyond the documented integrations.
Platforms
PushFar supports web, iOS and Android, with API access also listed. The mobile apps give participants access beyond a desktop browser, while API support and CSV imports offer routes for organisational data and invitations.
Who it's for
PushFar is a strong fit for HR and learning and development teams in businesses, educational institutions and professional organisations that need to customise matching and oversee programmes centrally. The maker says it can scale from teams of 50 to 50,000, with centralised administration and cohort management. Individuals who simply want to find or offer mentoring can use the free network. It is a weaker fit for organisations that need a clear upfront organisational price or require integrations outside the documented set without first discussing them.
Pros and cons
Pro: Multiple matching routes and customisable programme rules suit organisations with different mentoring formats.
Pro: Goals, meeting tools, private messaging, built-in video and broad programme reporting bring participant activity and administration together.
Pro: iOS and Android apps, SSO, calendar and meeting integrations, plus CSV and API invitation routes support varied access and setup needs.
Con: Organisational pricing is custom and requires a demo, so teams cannot readily compare the cost before engaging.
Con: Connections to systems such as Workday go through an account manager rather than being among the specifically documented integrations.
Alternatives
Choose MentorCity if a freemium service with a free plan and Standard features such as messaging, meetings, goals and surveys better matches your needs. Mentorloop may suit non-profits and community groups seeking a simple programme, with its Pro plan starting at $299 a month. For larger programmes, Chronus offers plans with up to 300 or 1,000 licenses, but has no free plan and custom pricing.
MentorcliQ is an option for organisations seeking an annual plan with a stated starting price of $9,900 a year for 100 Employees per Year; its CliQ Plus plan uses custom pricing. Qooper uses custom pricing based on programme scope, participant volume and organisational requirements. Together bases custom solutions on learner numbers, match types and programme goals, and charges for actively matched users participating, with implementation and support included.
Mentessa is worth considering for web-only talent development with a stated Connect — Standard price of €292 a month for up to 100 active participants; it also offers a free trial. Affirmity Employment Law Navigator is a paid, web-based alternative with pricing by request.
Verdict
PushFar is a sound choice for organisations that want flexible matching, central programme controls and participant communication in one mentoring service, with mobile access and substantial reporting. Its free network also serves individuals well. The main reason to look elsewhere is the organisational platform's custom pricing: teams that need a published cost before committing to a demo should compare alternatives first.
Verdict
PushFar covers matching, program administration and participant communication, with a separate free network for individuals. Organizations should request a demo to clarify pricing and discuss any connections beyond the documented integrations.
