What is the short answer on Lattice vs Culture Amp?
Updated October 18, 2026. Vendor figures come from lattice.com/pricing and cultureamp.com/pricing, read on that date. Where another site disagrees with a vendor, the vendor's own page is used.
| Lattice | Culture Amp | Harmny | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starts with | Performance: reviews, goals, 1:1s | Engagement science: surveys, benchmarks, People Science | Growth: career paths, reviews, goals and an HR suite |
| Published price | From $4/seat/mo (Engagement) to $13/seat/mo (Foundations bundle), plus add-ons | Custom quote only | $0 for up to 10 users; then $8 (Starter) or $16 (Growth) per user per month |
| Minimum spend | $4,000 per year | Not published | 3 seats on Starter, 5 on Growth; none on Free |
| Billing | Annual | Annual | Monthly or annual |
| Strongest at | Performance cycles, calibration, goals, compensation add-on | Engagement surveys, benchmarking, People Science services | Employee-visible career pathing, low cost, all-in-one HR |
| Honest weak spot | Engagement and compensation are priced as extra modules | No public price; the pricing page lists no compensation module | Smaller engagement benchmark dataset and fewer deep HRIS integrations |
Does it start with performance or with engagement science?
The two products read differently in their own marketing. Lattice's pricing page leads with performance: reviews, calibration, goals and OKRs, 1:1s and feedback, with Engagement as a separate module. Culture Amp's pricing page leads with two products, Engage and Perform, and describes its approach as grounded in People Science and a large employee dataset. Both now sell both halves, so the starting point shows up mostly in what you buy first and what the sales process looks like.
Harmny starts from growth: competency frameworks and career paths employees can see, with reviews, goals and engagement surveys alongside, and time off, attendance and recruiting in the same app.

Which is best for my company size?
Our judgment from the published tiers and prices above, as of October 2026, not a vendor claim.

| 1,000+ people | Culture Amp or Lattice | Culture Amp lists a distinct enterprise tier with People Scientist results calls and coaching. Lattice prices enterprise by custom quote. |
What is implementation and support like?
