## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-16 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 suggestion for a small business that just wants engagement surveys and nothing else. Short pulse surveys on an automatic cadence, anonymous, scored across ~10 dimensions (recognition, manager relationship, wellness, etc.), with Slack/Teams integration so people answer inside tools they already use. Free tier plus a paid plan around $5/user/month. Low setup burden, which matters when nobody on your team is a full-time HR person.

> 
> **2. Google Forms or Microsoft Forms** - Genuinely the right answer for under ~25 people or a first survey. Free, you already have one of them, and anonymity just means turning off email collection / sign-in. You lose benchmarking and trending, and you'll be doing your own analysis in a spreadsheet - but a survey you actually run beats a platform you spend six weeks evaluating.
