## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-13 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd try them:
> 
> **1. Workleap Officevibe** - my default first suggestion for a small business. It's built around short recurring pulse surveys rather than one giant annual survey, managers get their own team view, and it has a genuinely free tier for small teams. Third-party comparisons put paid pricing in the $3-7/user/month range, which is the low end of the category. Start here if you mainly want "how is the team doing" on an ongoing basis without a project.
> 
> **2. 15Five** - the best value if you want surveys *plus* the surrounding rituals. Their Engage plan is $4/user/month billed annually (verified on their own pricing page), and it steps up to Perform at $11 and Total Platform at $16 if you later want reviews, 1:1s and OKRs. Good path if you suspect surveys are step one of building out actual performance management.
> 
> **3. Culture Amp** - the strongest survey science and benchmark data in the category; you can compare your scores against similar companies, which is the thing cheap tools can't give you. The catch is it's aimed at mid-market and up, pricing is quote-only, and it's generally overkill under ~100 people. Worth

Answer Watch records what one AI answer engine said on one date, nothing more. Each page names the engine and the model, carries the date the question was asked, and lists the brands that appeared in the answer in the order the engine gave them, with the sources it cited. It is a measurement, not a ranking, not a recommendation and not a claim about the world. Brands that did not appear in an answer are not named on any public page.
