Compare

Moodkin vs TinyPulse vs Culture Amp. On what founders ask about.

Five feature columns, three vendors, five rows. The same five things founders actually ask us about — anonymous responses, the weekly manager ask, 1:1 talking points, the monthly written report, and Slack + Teams delivery.

Built for under-200 teams

Moodkin

An AI Chief Happiness Officer for remote-first teams of 10–200. Native Slack + Teams delivery, anonymous by design, one concrete ask per day.

Engagement-survey incumbents

TinyPulse

Established mid-market engagement-survey platform. Configurable anonymity and scheduled reports, but the day-to-day stays in a separate dashboard.

Enterprise engagement suite

Culture Amp

Full enterprise engagement + performance platform aimed at companies with a dedicated People team. Quote-only sales motion.

Reading the matrix

What the three statuses mean

Built in

A native part of the product, included for every customer on the plan.

Add-on

Available, but as a separately-licensed integration or module.

Not built in

Not part of the product today — closest thing is a report or manual flow.

What you actually get

Each row, in the channel your team already uses.

Anonymous at ingest

Identity stripped the moment a response lands — channel-side, not after analytics.

Auto-drafted manager ask

One concrete ask, every weekday, scored against your pulse + risk signals.

1:1 talking-point drafts

Each ask ships with a copy-paste script for the next 1:1 — manager inbox, not portal.

Monthly read-out

A shareable company-wide morale page that shows the trend line, not a chart dump.

Native Slack + Teams

Both channels from one install, no connector SKU, no double-billing for Teams.
