How much does Culture Amp cost?

Culture Amp does not list prices on its website. Its pricing page says the price depends on the number of employees, the product you choose and your service tier, and that every product is billed once a year. You get a number only after you ask for a quote.

Vendr, a service that helps companies buy software, reports a median Culture Amp contract of $23,270 a year, based on 523 purchases. The lowest it reports is $8,356 and the highest is $58,894. Vendr also says its buyers saved 13% on average off the first quote.

What does Culture Amp cost by company size?

Culture Amp charges for each employee, so headcount moves the price more than anything else. Vendr says the price per employee drops as headcount grows, so a company with 1,000 people pays less per person than one with 150.

At Compono’s range of $5 to $9 per employee a month, a 300-person company would pay $18,000 to $32,400 a year. That is close to the Vendr median. The table shows what each source reports for common company sizes.

What do you get in each Culture Amp product?

Culture Amp sells its products one at a time or together. Its pricing page lists two main products and an AI Coach that comes with both:

  • Engage: engagement surveys, pulse surveys, an onboarding and offboarding survey, benchmarks against other companies, retention reports and AI summaries of written comments.
  • Perform: performance reviews and calibration, continuous feedback, 1-on-1 meetings and employee development plans.
  • AI Coach: suggestions for managers built into Engage and Perform.
  • Service tier: under 200 employees get group customer success support. From 200 to 999 employees, you get a named customer success partner and a project manager for setup. Above 1,000 employees, Culture Amp adds manager training and a results call with one of its people scientists.

What hidden costs come with a Culture Amp contract?

The yearly fee for each employee is not the whole bill. Vendr lists costs that sit outside the base price. Ask about each one before you sign:

  • Setup, survey design help and admin training, which Culture Amp usually quotes on its own line
  • Premium support, such as a dedicated success manager, which Vendr says can add 10% to 20% to the yearly cost
  • Fees to connect your HR system, such as Workday or BambooHR
  • Extra modules added later in the year, priced at your full headcount
  • Price rises at renewal, and how early you must give notice to cancel
  • Headcount growth during the contract, if the price is set per employee

How can you get a lower Culture Amp price?

Vendr reports that its buyers saved 13% on average. Its advice is to get quotes from other vendors such as Lattice, 15Five and Qualtrics, and to start talking early. Longer contracts and buying several products together usually lower the price per employee.

Vendr also notes that Culture Amp’s financial year ends in June. Sales teams often give larger discounts to close deals from April to June. Ask for a cap on price rises at renewal, and get every product and service on its own line in the quote.

What are Culture Amp alternatives with public prices?

These tools show their prices on their own websites. Lattice and 15Five sell engagement surveys and performance reviews, like Culture Amp. ExitPro and Goodfit only cover people who are leaving or might leave. We checked every price on October 28, 2026.

What does Culture Amp cost next to Lattice and 15Five?

Take a company with 300 employees that only wants engagement surveys. Lattice Engagement costs 300 × $4 × 12 = $14,400 a year. 15Five Engage costs the same, $14,400 a year. Compono’s range puts Culture Amp at $18,000 to $32,400 a year for the same company.

Culture Amp may still be worth more to you. Its benchmarks compare your survey results with other companies, and its larger customers get help from people scientists. Put the three quotes side by side and check what each one includes as well as the yearly total.

Do you need Culture Amp to find out why people leave?

Many teams look at Culture Amp because too many people are quitting. If that is your main question, a full engagement platform may be more than you need. The offboarding survey in Engage only works when leavers open the link and write a real answer, and hourly staff often don’t.

Goodfit takes a different route. It phones each person who leaves, opens with a confidentiality note and asks your questions, with a follow-up when an answer is short. Each call costs $5 once it is finished. A 300-person company with 20% yearly turnover loses about 60 people a year, so calling every one of them costs 60 × $5 = $300 a year. Calls where the person is connected for less than 2 minutes are free.

You get the recording and transcript for each leaver, and a report that ranks the reasons people left by team and manager. To hear problems before people resign, Goodfit can also call new hires at 30, 60 and 90 days and list who might leave, with their reasons. See how Goodfit exit interviews and employee check-in calls work.

Goodfit does not run engagement surveys across your whole company, performance reviews or industry benchmarks. If you need those, compare Culture Amp, Lattice and 15Five. Our guide to exit interview companies compares 10 vendors that only handle leavers.

Who should still choose Culture Amp?

Culture Amp suits companies with a few hundred employees or more that want engagement surveys, performance reviews and benchmarks from one vendor, and that value its research team. If that is you, bring the Vendr median of $23,270 a year to the call, ask for every product on its own line, and time the deal for April to June if you can.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Culture Amp cost per employee?

Culture Amp does not publish a price per employee. Compono, which sells a competing product, reports $5 to $9 per employee a month from third-party data. Vendr says the price per employee drops as your headcount grows, and buying more than one product lowers it too.

How much does Culture Amp cost for a small company?

Compono reports that small teams pay about $4,500 to $9,000 a year for Engage alone. The lowest contract in Vendr’s data is $8,356 a year. Culture Amp has no self-serve plan, so even small teams go through a sales call.

Does Culture Amp have a free trial?

Culture Amp’s pricing page shows no free trial and no self-serve plan. You ask for a quote or a demo. Every product is billed once a year.

Does Culture Amp include exit surveys?

Yes. Culture Amp Engage includes an onboarding and offboarding survey. Leavers get a link to an online form. If you only need exit interviews, tools like ExitPro and Goodfit cost less, and Goodfit phones each leaver instead of sending a form.

Is Culture Amp more expensive than Lattice?

Usually, for surveys alone. Lattice publishes $4 per seat a month for Engagement, with a $4,000 yearly minimum, or $14,400 a year for 300 people. Third-party estimates put Culture Amp at $18,000 to $32,400 for the same company. Compare full quotes, since each includes different products.

Can you pay for Culture Amp monthly?

No. Culture Amp’s pricing page says all of its products are billed on a yearly basis. Vendr reports that contracts longer than one year usually get a lower yearly price.
