PRICES READ AT SOURCE, AUGUST 2026
Almost every Culture Amp alternatives roundup on the web is written by one of the alternatives, which is worth knowing before you read one. This page is no exception, so the compensating move is to make every number checkable: each figure below was read off the vendor's own pricing page on August 20, 2026, and where a vendor publishes nothing, this page says nothing rather than repeating a figure from a review aggregator.

DIRECT ANSWER
The Culture Amp alternatives that show up on real shortlists are Lattice, 15Five, Leapsome, Workleap (Officevibe), Quantum Workplace, Qualtrics, Workday Peakon, and Perceptyx, and the quickest way to cut that list in half is to sort it by whether the vendor publishes a price at all. Four of the eight do. Lattice lists Engagement at $4 a seat a month against a $4,000 minimum annual agreement, 15Five lists Engage at $4 a user a month and its Total Platform at $16, Workleap lists Standard from $4,999 a year and Pro from $11,999, and Leapsome shows a starting figure of 199 per user per month against an unresolved currency selector on a twelve month minimum term. Quantum Workplace publishes no seat rate but does state a $15,000 minimum annual contract, which is the single most useful number in this category because it tells a 60 person company to stop reading. Qualtrics, Workday Peakon, and Perceptyx publish nothing, and neither does Culture Amp, whose pricing page states only that cost depends on employee count, product chosen, and service tier, banded under 200, 200 to 999, and 1,000 or more employees. Price is the easy half of the decision. Culture Amp is still the deeper engagement instrument of this group, with the larger benchmark dataset and a people science team behind the question set, so moving to a cheaper platform to save a seat rate often costs survey design quality that you will not notice until the results are ambiguous. Assessmentcloud is a different shape again and not a like-for-like Culture Amp replacement. It scores five organizational dimensions, culture and engagement (CU-01), process maturity (PR-02), digital maturity (DM-03), skills gaps (SG-04), and compliance readiness (CR-05), into one 0 to 100 readout against an industry median, at a flat published price from $49 a month for the whole company. If what you need is a continuous engagement program with weekly pulses, recognition, and performance reviews, buy one of the specialists above and do not buy this. If what you need is to know which part of the business is weakest and to re-check it cheaply next quarter, that is the job this platform is built for. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or reselling Culture Amp.
Go deeper: this dimension works alongside Culture Amp pricing and employee engagement survey pricing, and the guides on switching employee engagement survey vendors and best employee survey software show the frameworks behind the scoring.
Every entry below was read off the vendor's own public pricing page on August 20, 2026. Where a vendor publishes no figure, the cell says so rather than repeating a third-party number, because the reconstructed per-employee rates circulating for the quote-only vendors are not safe to put in a budget. Culture Amp sits in the first row as the baseline you are comparing against, and Assessmentcloud sits in the last row as the one we sell. Read the third column before the second: the meter decides how the bill behaves as you hire.
| Platform | Published price (read at source, August 20, 2026) | What the price is metered on | Against Culture Amp |
|---|---|---|---|
| Culture Amp (the baseline) | Nothing. No figures, tiers, or minimums appear on the pricing page | Stated on the page: employee count, product chosen, and service tier. Size bands under 200, 200 to 999, and 1,000 or more. Billed annually | The deepest engagement instrument here, the largest benchmark dataset, and people science consulting as a real add-on product. The cost of that is a sales cycle and no way to self-estimate |
| Lattice | Engagement $4 a seat a month, Performance $10, Goals and OKRs $8. Minimum annual agreement $4,000. Add-ons Compensation +$6 and Grow +$4 | Per seat, billed annually, USD only | Cheaper and fully transparent, and the stronger system of record for the people process. Weaker as a pure engagement instrument, and the $4 engagement seat is a module inside a performance platform rather than the main event |
| 15Five | Engage $4 a user a month, Perform $11, Total Platform $16. Manager Content $49 a manager a month | Per user, billed annually | Transparent and inexpensive at the Engage tier, with manager enablement built in. Smaller benchmark set than Culture Amp and the survey science is less of a differentiator |
| Leapsome | No firm rate published. A starting figure of 199 per user per month shows against an unresolved currency selector. Twelve month minimum term. Dedicated Customer Success gated at a 6,000 euro or dollar annual contract value | Per user with module bundling, minimum one year term | Modular, so you can buy surveys alone. The starting figure carries no confirmed currency, which matters for a US budget. Narrower benchmark coverage |
| Workleap (Officevibe) | Standard from $4,999 a year, Pro from $11,999 a year, Enterprise custom for 250 or more employees | Flat annual tiers rather than per seat, billed annually | The only mainstream alternative that prices flat rather than per seat, so the bill stops tracking headcount. Lighter than Culture Amp on analytics depth and benchmark breadth |
| Quantum Workplace | No seat rate published. States a $15,000 minimum annual contract value | Quote based on total employee count, multi-product and volume discounts available | Comparable engagement depth with a strong US benchmark dataset, and it publishes the one number that matters for qualifying yourself out. The $15,000 floor rules out most companies under a few hundred people |
| Qualtrics | Nothing. Every route is a request pricing or demo form | Stated as based on employee count. People Engage and People Lifecycle sold separately | Far broader platform, covering customer and market research alongside employee experience, with the most configurable analytics of the group. Heavier to run and generally the most expensive way to buy an engagement survey |
| Workday Peakon | Nothing published | Per employee, generally licensed against full headcount rather than survey respondents, billed annually | Best in class continuous listening and the obvious pick if you already run Workday. Licensing against total headcount means paying for people who never respond |
| Perceptyx | Nothing published. Every tier routes to contact sales | Quote based on employee count and the mix of listening products | Strongest of this group on enterprise listening design and research services, with real depth in healthcare. Sales led, so expect a long evaluation and no self-serve entry point |
| Assessmentcloud (ours) | Team $49 a month, Business $119 a month, Consultancy $279 a month, Enterprise on request. Discounted billed yearly | Flat monthly price for the whole company, no per-employee fee | Not a like-for-like replacement. Narrower on engagement than Culture Amp and it does not do recognition or performance reviews. Wider across the organization, scoring process, digital, skills, and compliance readiness alongside culture, at a published flat price |
Two conclusions fall out of this table, and neither is the one a vendor roundup usually reaches. First, the publish versus quote-only split tracks sales model rather than product quality: the platforms that expect you to self-serve print a rate card, and the specialists that sell consultatively do not. Second, the cheapest row is rarely the cheapest contract, because minimum annual values and the meter do more to your bill than the headline rate. Pricing and packaging change without notice, so confirm current terms with each vendor before budgeting against anything here, including ours. The Culture Amp pricing page works through what the incumbent does and does not disclose, and the employee engagement survey pricing page runs the arithmetic at 100, 300, and 1,000 employees. If the other name on your shortlist is Workday Peakon, Peakon vs Culture Amp compares what both vendors put in writing about term, headcount and implementation, and if it is Perceptyx, Perceptyx vs Culture Amp does the same.
The per-employee figures for quote-only engagement vendors that circulate on procurement and review sites disagree with each other by more than an order of magnitude once you normalize monthly against annual rates. None of them appear on the vendors' own sites. This table carries only what the vendor publishes itself, with the date it was read, and an explicit blank where there is nothing to report.
A $4 seat reads cheap and bills $48,000 a year at 1,000 people. A flat annual tier stops moving when you hire. A headcount licence charges for employees who never open the survey. The meter decides how your bill behaves over three years, and it is the column most roundups leave out entirely.
Culture Amp has the larger benchmark dataset and the stronger question set of this group, and its people science support is a real product rather than a marketing line. Any roundup that cannot name what the incumbent does better is selling, not comparing. Several rows in this table go to Culture Amp on purpose.
One survey tells you where you stand once. The value shows up on the second and third readings, which is exactly when per-seat billing makes people ration surveys. Assessmentcloud is a flat monthly price for the whole company from $49, which is what makes a quarterly re-score a decision rather than a budget request.
Name the job before you name the vendor
Three different products get sold as Culture Amp alternatives: a continuous engagement program, a performance and people system of record, and a whole-company diagnostic. Lattice and 15Five lean toward the second, Qualtrics and Perceptyx toward enterprise listening, and this platform toward the third. Deciding which job you are buying removes most of the shortlist before you take a single call.
Sort the shortlist by who publishes
Put the vendors that publish a rate card in one column and the quote-only vendors in the other. That split is about sales model rather than quality, but it decides how long your evaluation takes. A shortlist made entirely of quote-only vendors means six weeks of calls before you have a single comparable number.
Ask for the annual total at your headcount, in writing
A seat rate is not a price. Ask each vendor for the all-in annual total at your exact employee count, with the minimum contract value, the implementation fee, and the service or success tier itemized as separate lines. Lattice's $4,000 minimum and Quantum Workplace's $15,000 minimum both change the effective rate dramatically below a few hundred employees.
Price the second year, not the first
Discounts concentrate in year one and headcount only goes up. Model the bill at today's headcount and at the headcount you plan for in two years, then ask what the renewal uplift cap is. This is the question that most often separates the quoted price from what the contract actually costs.
DIAGNOSTIC INPUT, NOT A CERTIFIED AUDIT.
Assessmentcloud scores tell you how ready you are and what to fix. They do not certify you against SOC 2, ISO 27001, or any legal framework, and we never claim they do. Only an accredited auditor can certify you. Run the diagnostic first, walk into the audit without surprises, and spend auditor hours on certification instead of discovery.
The alternatives that appear consistently on real shortlists are Lattice, 15Five, Leapsome, Workleap (Officevibe), Quantum Workplace, Qualtrics, Workday Peakon, and Perceptyx. Which one is best depends on the job: Lattice and 15Five if you want performance and engagement in one system of record, Workleap if you want flat annual pricing, Qualtrics or Perceptyx for enterprise listening at scale, and Workday Peakon if you already run Workday.
In the employee engagement and voice of the employee category, Culture Amp competes most directly with Qualtrics, Workday Peakon, Perceptyx, Quantum Workplace, Lattice, 15Five, and Leapsome. The first four compete on listening depth and benchmark data, and the last three compete by bundling engagement into a broader performance and people platform at a lower published price.
Almost certainly, though Culture Amp publishes no price so the comparison is against a quote rather than a rate card. On published figures, the cheapest routes into this category are Lattice Engagement and 15Five Engage at $4 a seat a month, both billed annually, and Workleap Standard at a flat $4,999 a year. Assessmentcloud is flat from $49 a month for the whole company, but it is a broader organizational diagnostic rather than a like-for-like engagement platform.
Culture Amp publishes no prices. Read on its own pricing page on August 20, 2026, the page carries no figures, no rate card, and no self-serve tier. It states that cost depends on employee count, the product chosen, and the service tier, that all products are billed annually, and that buyers fall into three size bands: under 200 employees, 200 to 999, and 1,000 or more. Every route on the page is a quote request or a demo booking.
At that size the published-price vendors are usually the practical answer, because the quote-only vendors either will not prioritize a small deal or carry a minimum that swamps it. Quantum Workplace states a $15,000 minimum annual contract, which rules it out for most companies at this headcount. Lattice carries a $4,000 minimum annual agreement, 15Five and Workleap both publish figures that work at this size, and Leapsome publishes a floor price in euros.
They are close on price, both listing engagement at $4 a seat a month billed annually, so the decision usually comes down to what surrounds the survey. Lattice is the stronger system of record for goals, performance, and compensation, and carries a $4,000 minimum annual agreement. 15Five leans harder into manager enablement and coaching, and its Total Platform tier at $16 a user a month bundles the full set. Neither matches Culture Amp on benchmark depth.
Most claim benchmarks, but the datasets differ enormously in size, recency, and how they are cut. The question worth asking every vendor is not whether they have benchmarks but whether they can show you the benchmark for your industry at your company size, how many organizations sit behind that specific cut, and how recent it is. A benchmark drawn from a few dozen companies in a different sector is decoration rather than evidence.
Four things, in order. Whether you can export your full response history and in what format, since comparability across the switch is the thing you are most likely to lose. Whether the new vendor benchmarks your industry at your size. Whether the question wording changes, because a rewritten item breaks the trend line even when the score looks continuous. And what the all-in annual total is at your headcount, including minimums and implementation, rather than the seat rate.
