   Workleap Officevibe - my default recommendation for small-to-mid remote teams.

   Weekly pulse delivered by Slack/Teams DM, pre-built question bank grounded in 10 engagement metrics, anonymous manager-level reporting, and it's the cheapest serious option (~$3.50/user/mo Essential, $5 Pro).

   Polly - not an HR platform, and that's the point.

The answer, as recorded

For remote teams the single biggest predictor of whether a survey tool works is **where people answer it** - anything that requires logging into a separate web app bleeds response rates after a couple of cycles. So I'd sort by that first: **1. Workleap Officevibe** - my default recommendation for small-to-mid remote teams. Weekly pulse delivered by Slack/Teams DM, pre-built question bank grounded in 10 engagement metrics, anonymous manager-level reporting, and it's the cheapest serious option (~$3.50/user/mo Essential, $5 Pro). Low setup burden, which matters when there's no dedicated HR ops person. **2. Culture Amp** - the one to pick if you actually want to *act* on the data rather than just collect it. Best-in-class benchmarking (you can compare your scores against similar companies), strong behavioral-science question design, and good lifecycle coverage (onboarding/exit). Downside: no published pricing, sales call required, ~$4,500/yr minimum. Right fit roughly 200-5,000 employees. **3. Lattice** - choose this if engagement surveys need to live next to performance reviews, goals, and 1:1s. Engagement is $4/seat/mo as a standalone module, but it's an add-on, not core, and a full deployment (engagement + growth + comp) can run north of $22/user/mo. Buy it for the performance suite; the surveys are a bonus. **4. CultureMonkey** - the one I'd name for *distributed and multilingual* teams specifically. Delivers via email, Slack, Teams, WhatsApp, SMS, QR code, and kiosk - genuinely useful if your remote team spans time zones, languages, or non-desk roles that don't live in Slack. **5. Polly** - not an HR platform, and that's the point. Best for lightweight, high-frequency, in-Slack/Teams pulses you run yourself: recurring one-to-three-question check-ins, anonymous eNPS, retro polls. Cheap, instant, no rollout project. Good complement to a real engagement tool, or a fine standalone if you're under ~50 people. **6. Small Improvements** - worth a look if you want surveys bundled with 1:1s, lightweight reviews, and 360 feedback in one inexpensive tool. Less analytical depth than Culture Amp, but fast adoption and low bureaucracy. **Honorable mention: Geekbot** - if your team already runs async standups through it, its poll/pulse feature is a zero-marginal-cost way to start listening before you buy anything. Quick heuristic: under 50 people → Polly or Officevibe. 50-300 → Officevibe or Small Improvements. 300+ with budget and a real people-analytics goal → Culture Amp. Globally distributed or non-desk → CultureMonkey.
