FeedbackPulse from $4/employee/mo Free tier Free trial MCP server API

The short answer

  • Workleap : Officevibe pulse surveys with a longer track record, but priced from $4,999 a year on our listing, where FeedbackPulse is per employee with a free plan for up to 10. From $4,999/yr
  • Culture Amp : Far larger engagement benchmark and deeper analytics, sold by quote and aimed at bigger companies, where FeedbackPulse publishes a $4 per employee price for small teams. From Sales-quoted
  • Lattice : Wider people platform with goals, HRIS and compensation modules for mid-market teams; FeedbackPulse is the narrower, cheaper choice when surveys and reviews are the whole job. From $4/seat/mo
  • 15Five : Built around weekly manager check-ins and coaching; FeedbackPulse puts more weight on anonymous pulse and eNPS surveys and has a free plan. From $4/user/mo

Why people look past FeedbackPulse

Slack and Microsoft Teams, where many teams actually answer pulse surveys, sit on the Max plan at $8 per employee a month, double Pro. Goals are Max only too. There is no HRIS, payroll or compensation module, so employee data lives in its own directory. It is a small vendor (Hindcast LLC, registered in Wyoming in 2025) that relies on its hosting providers' certifications rather than its own SOC 2, and says itself that it does not chase 500 seat enterprise security reviews. Production data is hosted in the EU.

What we noted

  • Slack and Microsoft Teams integrations only on the $8 Max plan
  • Goals also locked to the Max plan
  • No HRIS, compensation or learning modules

Not the right fit for

  • Enterprises that need a vendor security review, SOC 2 report or procurement track
  • Teams that want pulse surveys inside Slack or Teams on the cheapest paid plan
  • Companies after one platform for HRIS, compensation and learning as well as feedback

Worth keeping in mind: Prices are published and low: Pro at $4 per employee a month includes reviews, 360 feedback and AI summaries that bigger platforms sell as separate modules, and kudos come free on every plan. Survey answers stay hidden until three people respond, and a first-party MCP server lets an admin pull results or launch a survey from inside Claude or ChatGPT.

What each one does differently

Workleap

$4,999/yr Free tier MCP API

Why it comes up: Officevibe pulse surveys with a longer track record, but priced from $4,999 a year on our listing, where FeedbackPulse is per employee with a free plan for up to 10.

Stands out: Officevibe pulses, Pingboard org charts, reviews, recognition, and an AI agent that drafts reviews and briefings now sell as one platform fee, which is simpler than stacking four SKUs at $5/user each.

Watch out: Pricing is a platform minimum, not a per-user $5 seat. Standard is $4,999/yr. MCP and API access start on Pro at $11,999/yr. Enterprise is custom above 250 employees. There is no free plan.

Best for

  • Mid-market HR replacing Officevibe plus a separate review tool
  • Companies that want pulse surveys, recognition, and org charts together
  • Manager-effectiveness programs that will use the AI agent

Culture Amp

Sales-quoted MCP API

Why it comes up: Far larger engagement benchmark and deeper analytics, sold by quote and aimed at bigger companies, where FeedbackPulse publishes a $4 per employee price for small teams.

Stands out: AI Coach is built into Engage and Perform, plus an MCP connector for Claude and ChatGPT and a developer API.

Watch out: All products are billed annually and priced by headcount, product and service tier. The MCP connector needs sign-up.

Best for

  • People teams running engagement surveys
  • Companies pairing reviews with engagement data
  • Managers who want coaching in the tool

Lattice

$4/seat/mo MCP API

Why it comes up: Wider people platform with goals, HRIS and compensation modules for mid-market teams; FeedbackPulse is the narrower, cheaper choice when surveys and reviews are the whole job.

Stands out: Review cycles, goals and surveys in one people-ops suite, with MCP in the assistant marketplaces.

Watch out: Pricing is modular, so the per-seat figure depends on which products you buy, and every contract is billed annually with a $4,000 minimum.

Best for

  • People-ops teams of roughly 50 to 500
  • Companies running review cycles
  • HR teams that want surveys next to goals

4.5 on Capterra from 207 reviews

15Five

$4/user/mo

Why it comes up: Built around weekly manager check-ins and coaching; FeedbackPulse puts more weight on anonymous pulse and eNPS surveys and has a free plan.

Stands out: The $4 Engage seat is a real public number, with manager coaching, Kona, and compensation sold as add-ons rather than hiding the whole suite behind a quote.

Watch out: AI reviews, AMAYA, 360s, and OKRs sit on Perform ($11/user/mo) or Total Platform ($16/user/mo), and Kona/compensation are extra. Budgeting Engage alone will not cover a full performance cycle.

Best for

  • People teams rolling out weekly check-ins
  • Companies that want engagement surveys without an enterprise HCM
  • Manager-effectiveness programs
