The answer, as recorded

# Workplace survey tools for remote teams The honest first filter: pick based on company size and whether you want *just surveys* or surveys bolted onto performance management. Here's what I'd actually recommend, in order: **1. Culture Amp** - The default serious pick for 100-1,500 people. Survey questions are designed by organizational psychologists, and you get benchmarking against a huge comparison dataset, which matters a lot for engagement scores (a 68% favorability number is meaningless without knowing what normal is). Downside: quote-based pricing only, so you have to talk to sales to find out what it costs. **2. Lattice** - Choose this if you want engagement surveys *and* performance reviews/OKRs in one system. The real argument for it with remote teams is that survey insights surface inside 1-on-1s and goal check-ins rather than dying in an HR dashboard. It's the priciest of the bunch at roughly $14-22 per employee/month. **3. 15Five** - The value pick for small-to-mid teams. Starts around $4/user/month billed annually, and its weekly check-in model is genuinely well-suited to async remote work - it was built around that rhythm before it added engagement surveys. Watch for add-on pricing on analytics and coaching. **4. CultureMonkey** - Best if your workforce is globally distributed, multilingual, or partly non-desk. It delivers surveys over email, Slack, Teams, WhatsApp, SMS, QR codes, and kiosk mode, which solves the "half my team doesn't check email" problem better than the others. **5. Polly** - Lightweight Slack/Teams-native polling and pulse surveys. Good for fast, frequent, low-stakes checks rather than a formal annual engagement survey. Free tier exists but caps at 25 responses/month; paid starts around $12/user/month on Slack. Reviewers consistently call the UI clunky - set expectations accordingly. **6. Officevibe** - Cheapest real option ($0-$5/user/month). Fine for a small team testing whether they'll actually act on survey data before committing budget. Thin on analytics. **7. Workday Peakon / Microsoft Viva Glint / Qualtrics XM** - Only relevant if you're already committed to the surrounding ecosystem. Peakon if you run Workday HCM, Viva Glint if you're deep in Microsoft 365, Qualtrics if you have an actual people-analytics team who'll use the predictive attrition modeling. **My recommendation:** under ~75 people, start with 15Five or Officevibe. Above that, Culture Amp unless you specifically want performance management bundled in, in which case Lattice. One thing worth saying regardless of tool: for remote teams the hard part isn't collecting responses, it's visibly acting on them. Anonymity guarantees matter more when teams are small and distributed - a "team of 4" filter can de-anonymize people fast, so check each vendor's minimum reporting threshold before you buy.
