Shares here are read over the models both editions asked, so they can differ by a point or two from the standing above, which counts every model in this edition.

The floor is 13 points of share, measured: how far the models move a leader on their own when the same questions are asked twice with nothing changed. A larger change is movement; a smaller one is noise, and both are shown. Movement is read over the twelve models both editions asked; GPT-6 Luna, Muse Glimmer 30B joined this edition and are in the standing but not yet in the comparison.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“the most-cited dedicated employee experience platform for this segment... Want best-in-class survey science + benchmarks and analytics: Culture Amp.” Muse Glimmer 30B · Employee engagement surv · direct prompt · first choice
“The gold standard for people science and analytics. Highly robust, excellent benchmarking, but can be on the pricier/more complex side.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Employee engagement surv · scale prompt · first choice
“Culture Amp and Officevibe are top choices due to their strong analytics, ease of use, and focus on actionable insights” Mistral Small · Employee engagement surv · direct prompt · first choice
“I'd typically lean toward Lattice or Culture Amp as they offer strong balance of features, scalability, and usability” MiniMax M2.5 · Succession planning · paraphrase prompt · first choice

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“Avoid platforms like Culture Amp, Leapsome, or Qualtrics—they're excellent but priced for enterprise” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Employee engagement surv · budget prompt · hard negative
“Avoid "Enterprise Trap" Tools Platforms like Culture Amp ... high minimum annual contracts” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Employee engagement surv · budget prompt · hard negative
“Avoid enterprise-heavy like Culture Amp (custom pricing, better for 500+)” Grok 4.1 Fast · 360 feedback · paraphrase prompt · hard negative
“avoid platforms with $4,000+ annual minimums like Lattice/Culture Amp” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Employee engagement surv · budget prompt · hard negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Culture Amp. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 345 of the 385 answers that named Culture Amp and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page cultureamp.com exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. An event counts as online when its address or title says so (webinar, on demand, virtual or online summit); a conference, summit, trade show, expo or roadshow that does not say so is counted as a conference or event, which on a vendor's site is mostly in person. Read September 29, 2026.

Is this your product?

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Culture Amp's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Culture Amp, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives

A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for Culture Amp by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

  • where Culture Amp is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
  • the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
  • its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
  • who was chosen in the answers that did not name Culture Amp, and every reason the record gives;
  • a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
  • one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.
The subscriber app

A verification link goes to your work email; an address at cultureamp.com is approved on the spot, any other is reviewed by hand. Your email is never published. Claiming gives no say over labels, shares, verdicts or which quotes appear.
