Viva Glint pricing: what Microsoft Viva Glint costs per user, and what the license actually includes

Microsoft publishes a price for Viva Glint. In a category where almost nobody does, that single fact makes it the easiest enterprise listening platform in the market to budget for, and it is why this page can quote real figures instead of asking you to book a call. What follows is the published rate card, what each line actually contains, the prerequisite most buyers miss, and the arithmetic at real headcounts.

DIRECT ANSWER

Viva Glint costs $2.00 per user per month, paid yearly, bought as a standalone add-on. It also appears inside two bundles on the same Microsoft rate card: Microsoft Viva Workplace Analytics and Employee Feedback at $6.00 per user per month, which adds Viva Insights and Viva Pulse, and the full Microsoft Viva Suite at $12.00 per user per month, which adds Viva Learning and the communications apps on top. All three require an annual commitment and are billed yearly. Those figures were read off microsoft.com in August 2026, not reconstructed from a review site. The detail that catches buyers out is that Viva Glint is not bundled into any Microsoft 365 or Office 365 plan, including E5. Microsoft own service description marks every Viva Glint feature as available only as a standalone SKU or as part of the Viva Suite, so an organization already paying for Microsoft 365 E5 still pays the Glint line on top. What you get for it, per Microsoft own documentation, is employee surveys on web and mobile, engagement survey templates and action plans across the employee lifecycle, interactive dashboards, comment analytics using AI and natural language processing, internal and external benchmarks, and predictive analytics intended to surface business risk. Copilot in Viva Glint is on by default for all customers from March 2026. Assessmentcloud is not a Viva Glint replacement and does not claim to be one. Viva Glint is a continuous employee listening program that lives inside a Microsoft estate, and for a Microsoft-committed enterprise it is the cheapest published route into that category. This platform answers a different question: 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 report against an industry median, priced flat for the whole company rather than per user. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or reselling Microsoft.

Go deeper: this dimension works alongside Culture Amp pricing and employee engagement survey pricing, and the guides on best employee listening platforms and employee engagement software cost show the frameworks behind the scoring.

LANDSCAPE

Every published Viva plan that contains Glint, and what each one adds

These figures were read off the Microsoft Viva pricing page in August 2026 and the contents column is taken from Microsoft own service description rather than from a reseller or a review aggregator. Every line requires an annual commitment and is billed yearly. Microsoft sells through partners and Enterprise Agreements as well as direct, so your negotiated rate can differ from the public one, which is a reason to use this table as the baseline you negotiate against rather than as a final quote.

Plan What it contains Published price (checked August 2026) Who it suits
Viva Glint (standalone add-on) Viva Glint on its own: engagement and lifecycle surveys, dashboards, benchmarks, comment analytics and predictive analytics $2.00 per user per month, paid yearly Organizations that want the listening program and nothing else from the Viva family
Microsoft Viva Workplace Analytics and Employee Feedback Viva Insights, Viva Glint and Viva Pulse together $6.00 per user per month, paid yearly Teams that want collaboration analytics and lightweight manager pulses alongside the engagement survey
Microsoft Viva Suite Everything in the two Viva plans plus Viva Learning, Connections, Engage and Amplify $12.00 per user per month, paid yearly Enterprises standardizing the whole employee experience layer on Microsoft
Any Microsoft 365 or Office 365 plan on its own No Viva Glint. Microsoft marks every Glint feature as standalone SKU or Viva Suite only Not included at any level, E5 included Nobody, if Glint is the requirement. This is the assumption that breaks budgets
Viva Insights add-on Collaboration and productivity analytics. Not an employee listening product $4.00 per user per month, paid yearly Listed here only so you can see what the $6.00 bundle is actually adding
Viva Learning add-on Learning content and LMS integration in the flow of work $4.00 per user per month, paid yearly Listed here only so you can price the Suite against its parts

Two things fall out of this table that a headline rate hides. First, the cheapest honest way to buy Viva Glint is usually the $2.00 standalone add-on, because the bundles are only a saving if you genuinely wanted Viva Insights and Viva Learning, and Insights answers a different question entirely. Second, because the meter is licensed headcount rather than completed responses, the effective price of the data rises as your response rate falls, which is the opposite of what most business cases assume. Microsoft changes packaging without notice and partner or Enterprise Agreement rates differ from the public page, so confirm current terms directly before you budget against anything here, including our own figures. For the vendors that refuse to publish at all, Culture Amp pricing and Perceptyx pricing work through what each genuinely discloses, employee engagement survey pricing runs the arithmetic at 100, 300 and 1,000 employees, and the Viva Glint alternatives page covers what to look at if the Microsoft route does not fit.

CU-01

What you get

The only enterprise listening platform with a published price

Qualtrics, Perceptyx, Culture Amp and Workday Peakon all route pricing to a salesperson. Microsoft does not. The Viva rate card sits on a public page with three figures on it, which means you can build a defensible budget for Viva Glint before you speak to anyone, and you can use it as the anchor when a competing vendor refuses to quote until discovery is finished. In a category where most published per-employee numbers are reconstructed guesses from procurement databases, a real rate card is a genuine advantage to the buyer.

It is an add-on, not something your E5 already covers

This is the assumption that wrecks Viva Glint budgets. Microsoft service description marks every Viva Glint capability as available only as a standalone SKU or as part of the Viva Suite, which means no Microsoft 365 or Office 365 plan includes it, E5 included. Teams routinely discover this after the business case is written. Check what your tenant is actually licensed for before you present a number, because the Glint line is additive to whatever you already pay Microsoft.

Per user, not per respondent, and that is the real cost driver

At $2.00 per user per month the meter is headcount, so you pay for every licensed employee whether or not they ever open a survey. At 2,000 employees that is $48,000 a year, and at a 60 percent response rate roughly $19,200 of it buys no data. That is not a criticism unique to Microsoft, it is how nearly every listening platform licenses, but it is the number that should go in the business case rather than the headline rate. Work out your cost per completed response, not your cost per seat.

Decide between the add-on and the bundle on arithmetic, not instinct

Glint alone is $2.00 per user a month. Workplace Analytics and Employee Feedback is $6.00 and adds Viva Insights and Viva Pulse. The Suite is $12.00 and adds Learning and the communications apps. The bundles are only cheaper if you would genuinely have bought the other components, and Viva Insights in particular is a different kind of product, collaboration analytics rather than employee listening. If the requirement is an engagement survey program, the $2.00 line is the one to price first and the bundles are an upsell to justify separately.

HOW IT WORKS

From setup to scored report

01

Confirm what your tenant is licensed for today

Before anything else, check whether you hold Microsoft 365 or Office 365, at which level, and whether any Viva SKU is already attached. Glint is not included in any of the base plans, so the question is not whether you have it but what the add-on costs on top of your current agreement. If you buy through an Enterprise Agreement or a partner, your effective rate may differ from the public page, which is worth establishing before you build the model.

02

Price the add-on and the two bundles at your real headcount

Multiply your licensed employee count by $2.00, $6.00 and $12.00 a month, then annualize all three. At 500 employees that is $12,000, $36,000 and $72,000 a year. Put those next to each other and ask honestly whether you would have bought Viva Insights, Viva Pulse and Viva Learning on their own merits. If the answer is no, the bundle is not a discount, it is a larger purchase.

03

Work out cost per completed response, not cost per seat

Take your annual Glint total, divide by the number of completed survey responses you realistically expect in a year, and compare that with what you would pay a per-response vendor for the same participation. Headcount licensing favors organizations with high response rates and multiple survey cycles a year. If you run one annual census at a 55 percent response rate, the effective cost per useful data point is close to double the headline.

04

Decide whether you need continuous listening or a diagnosis

If the requirement is an ongoing engagement program with benchmarks, manager action plans and lifecycle surveys inside a Microsoft estate, Viva Glint is a strong and unusually transparent choice and this page should end with you buying it. If the requirement is a fast, benchmarked read on where the organization stands across culture, process, technology, skills and compliance, that is a different instrument, it costs a flat fee rather than a per-user meter, and it will tell you where to point a listening program later.

How to conduct an organizational assessment, end to end

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.

FAQ

Questions about viva glint pricing

Viva Glint costs $2.00 per user per month, paid yearly, as a standalone add-on. It is also included in Microsoft Viva Workplace Analytics and Employee Feedback at $6.00 per user per month and in the full Microsoft Viva Suite at $12.00 per user per month. All three require an annual commitment. At 500 employees the standalone add-on works out at $12,000 a year.

No. This is the single most common budgeting mistake with Viva Glint. Microsoft own service description marks every Viva Glint feature as available only as a standalone SKU or as part of the Viva Suite, which means no Microsoft 365 or Office 365 plan includes it at any level, E5 included. An organization on E5 still pays the Glint line on top of what it already pays Microsoft.

Yes, and it is close to the only vendor in enterprise employee listening that does. The Microsoft Viva pricing page lists Viva Glint as a $2.00 per user per month add-on alongside the $6.00 Workplace Analytics and Employee Feedback plan and the $12.00 Viva Suite. Qualtrics, Perceptyx, Culture Amp and Workday Peakon all route pricing requests to a salesperson instead.

Per licensed user, which means you pay for headcount rather than for participation. At 2,000 employees the standalone add-on is $48,000 a year regardless of how many people answer, so at a 60 percent response rate roughly $19,200 of that buys no data. Calculate your cost per completed response before you compare Viva Glint with a vendor that meters on responses.

Glint is the organization-wide listening program: engagement and lifecycle surveys, benchmarks, dashboards and action plans owned by HR. Viva Pulse is a lightweight tool that lets an individual manager send a short survey to their own team. They solve different problems and are priced differently, with Pulse appearing inside the $6.00 Workplace Analytics and Employee Feedback plan rather than as the headline product.

No. Viva Glint is a current, actively sold product as of August 2026, and a good deal of third-party content on this point is out of date. What changed is that it is sold inside Microsoft Viva rather than as the independent Glint product it was before the acquisition, and Copilot in Viva Glint has been on by default for all customers since March 2026.

Per Microsoft own service description: employee surveys on web and mobile, engagement survey templates and action plans across the employee lifecycle, interactive dashboards showing trends and results, comment analytics using AI and natural language processing, internal and external benchmarks, and predictive analytics intended to surface business risk. Confirm which of these are enabled for your tenant during a trial rather than assuming feature parity with the pre-acquisition product.

On published figures Viva Glint is cheaper than both, but that comparison is uneven because neither Culture Amp nor Qualtrics publishes anything to compare against. What can be said honestly is that $2.00 per user per month is at the low end of what mid-market listening tools charge, and that vendors publishing rate cards in this space, Lattice and 15Five among them, list engagement modules around $4.00 per user per month. Get quotes from the quote-only vendors at your real headcount and compare all-in annual totals.
