Quantum Workplace from $15,000/yr

The short answer

  • Culture Amp : A close match on engagement surveys, performance reviews and benchmarks, often shortlisted against Quantum Workplace. From Sales-quoted
  • Lattice : Performance and engagement with published per seat prices, a better fit for smaller companies below a $15,000 budget. From $4/seat/mo

Why people look past Quantum Workplace

The $15,000 minimum annual contract rules out small companies, and pricing above that floor is quoted by employee count. Recognition is powered by Assembly, so check how that module is packaged and supported.

What we noted

  • $15,000 minimum annual contract
  • No published per employee prices
  • Recognition module is powered by a third party

Not the right fit for

  • Small companies below the $15,000 minimum contract
  • Teams wanting self-serve sign up and published per seat prices
  • Buyers who only need a simple pulse survey tool

Worth keeping in mind: Benchmarks draw on what the vendor calls North America’s largest engagement database, 10,000+ organizations and 1 million surveys a year, tied to Best Places to Work data. Retention Radar flags turnover risk from survey results, and plans include a dedicated Customer Success Manager with no implementation fee.

$4/seat/mo MCP API

Qualtrics Employee Experience

Sales-quoted MCP API

Why it comes up: Enterprise experience management with employee surveys as one part, for companies already using Qualtrics for customer research.

Stands out: Links employee feedback to customer and business outcomes, and offers MCP servers for its JSON APIs.

Watch out: No published price, and API access is a separately purchased feature. Expect an enterprise sales cycle and a scoped rollout.

Best for

  • Enterprises running continuous employee listening
  • People teams that also own customer experience data
  • Teams that need 360 and lifecycle surveys
