Culture Amp** - My default pick if your main goal is genuinely *measuring* engagement. The survey science is the most rigorous of the bunch and you get benchmarking against thousands of other companies, which matters a lot when you're remote and have no hallway signal to sanity-check your numbers against. Roughly $5-15/employee/month depending on modules; budget 3-4 weeks to set up properly. ([Culture Amp comparison](https://www.performancereviewssoftware.com/blog/lattice-vs-culture-amp-vs-15five-comparison/))\n\n**2. 15Five** - Best fit if what you really need is weekly check-ins and better manager-report conversations rather than annual survey analytics. It's the easiest to roll out, frontline managers adopt it fast, and the ~$4/person/month entry tier is the cheapest credible way to start measuring sentiment. For a distributed team where 1:1s are the main connective tissue, this often beats a heavier platform.\n\n**3. Lattice** - Pick this if engagement is actually secondary to performance management and you want reviews, goals, career tracks, and comp in one place.
