## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-14 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 pick for a small business that just wants recurring pulse surveys without a project. Short automated pulses, anonymous by default, manager-level dashboards, and it's cheap: Essential is around $3.50/employee/month, and Workleap has moved toward a flat annual platform fee rather than pure per-seat pricing. Low setup burden is the main reason it's first - most small companies fail at surveys because of process, not software.
> 
> **2. 15Five** - Best if you want the survey tied to something that actually happens afterward: weekly check-ins, 1:1s, and goals live in the same tool. Plans run roughly $4-$19/user/month, so you can start on the cheap tier and grow into it. Good fit at ~20-200 people.
> 
> **3. Google Forms (or Microsoft Forms)** - Genuinely the right answer under about 15-20 people. Free, unlimited responses, and you can run a solid 10-question engagement survey in an afternoon. The real limits are that true anonymity takes discipline to configure, and you analyze results yourself in a spreadsheet. Don't buy a platform before you've proven you'll act on the results.

> **4

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.
