What is Culture Amp?
Culture Amp is software for measuring and improving how employees experience work, built around two products sold separately. Engage runs engagement surveys: ready-made templates, pulse surveys, onboarding and offboarding surveys, a DEI survey, retention insights and benchmarks Culture Amp says draw on over 1 billion survey responses across regions, segments and industries. Perform runs the performance cycle: reviews with calibration, continuous and 360-degree feedback, 1-on-1s, goals, development plans, a skills coach and Shoutouts for praise. AI Coach sits across both, surfacing themes from survey comments, helping managers draft balanced reviews and role-play hard conversations, and drafting action plans. Culture Amp also sells People Science Consulting (HR expertise, I/O psychology and analytics) as an add-on, offers an MCP connection so Claude or ChatGPT can answer questions from a company's own Culture Amp data, and publishes a developer API. Pricing is quote-only and billed annually, and customer success scales with company size: group support under 200 employees, a one-on-one partner from 200 to 999, and training and coaching services at 1,000+.
Culture Amp is an employee experience platform that pairs engagement surveys (Engage) with performance management (Perform) for HR teams that want survey science behind their people decisions. Engage covers pulse, onboarding, exit and DEI surveys with benchmarks Culture Amp says cover over 1 billion survey responses; Perform covers performance reviews with calibration, 180 and 360 feedback, 1-on-1s, goals, development plans and Shoutouts. AI Coach is built into both, summarizing comments, helping managers draft reviews and building action plans, and every plan includes SSO, Slack and Microsoft Teams apps, HRIS integrations and a developer API. Culture Amp publishes no prices: quotes depend on headcount, products and service tier, and all products are billed annually. The company says more than 6,000 companies use it.
Standout feature: Engagement benchmarks drawn from what Culture Amp says are over 1 billion survey responses, so a company can compare its scores by region, segment and industry instead of reading them in isolation.
Biggest weakness: Culture Amp publishes no prices and quotes Engage and Perform separately by headcount and service tier, all billed annually, so a buyer cannot estimate cost without a sales process; customers under 200 employees also get group customer success rather than a one-on-one partner and implementation project management.
