How we evaluated Culture Amp

This review rests on the 19 facts this page shows, each checked against the source listed under “Sources”, most recently on . We did not test the product hands-on: the score uses only those verified facts, as our methodology explains; third-party ratings, where we quote them, never count in the score.

Our verdict

Culture Amp is an employee experience platform for organizations running engagement surveys and performance reviews, with service tiers by company size. The trade-off is quote-only pricing on annual contracts and 24/5 rather than 24/7 support.
