> **1. Workleap Officevibe** - My default suggestion for a small business just starting to measure engagement.

> **2. Small Improvements** - Best if you want surveys *plus* lightweight performance reviews, 360° feedback, and 1:1s in one tool instead of buying three. Starts around $3/user/month, no seat minimum, no implementation fee, 30-day trial - unusually friendly terms for a small shop.
