It's built around short anonymous pulse surveys rather than one giant annual survey, managers get their own team dashboards without needing an HR department to interpret things, and it's cheap - roughly $5/user/month on annual billing for the engagement module. Low setup effort is the whole point. ([Workleap pricing](https://costbench.com/software/employee-engagement/workleap/), [Officevibe free tier](https://subscribed.fyi/officevibe/deals/))\n\n**If you want surveys + performance reviews in one tool: Lattice.** Engagement surveys, reviews, goals, and 1:1s in one place with good Slack integration, so you're not buying two systems. Quote-only pricing, and it runs meaningfully more than Officevibe (~$110/mo for 10 people vs ~$35). It's more platform than a survey-only team needs. ([pricing comparison](https://costbench.com/compare/culture-amp-vs-officevibe/))\n\n**Leapsome** - essentially Lattice's closest competitor, often better value, and strong if development/feedback conversations matter as much as the survey score.
