Providing your people with employee-centric digital tools has obvious benefits in terms of efficiency, productivity and profitability (1). But the impact of a software platform on the company’s success depends on how your people use it, and also how many of them use it.
For example, the stakes aren’t particularly high when a tool will be used by a handful of employees to automate basic administrative tasks. But when everyone in the company uses the platform to track progress and measure success, that’s another story entirely.
Simply put, the more time employees spend in the platform, and the higher the impact of their inputs, the more time you should spend finding the right one.
We know that different platforms yield different results in terms of efficiency, functionality, etc. But something that’s often overlooked is digital employee experience (DEX).
Digital Employee Experience (DEX) refers to an employee’s experience with the software they use to perform work-related tasks.
Companies with great DEX are linked to high performance in several pieces of research - let’s take a look at some key statistics:
- 50% of employees would leave their current job for a role that offers better digital tools (3).
- Companies with mature DEX programs are 33% more likely to report higher employee satisfaction and 62% more likely to see higher employee retention rates (4).
- U.S. companies report $8.3 billion in lost productivity per year due to inefficient or difficult-to-use software tools (5).
The message here is clear - forcing your people to use a platform they don’t like is a waste of company time and money.
Only when employees enjoy and see the personal value in using a platform do we begin to see a positive impact on company success. This is never more important than with software for managing employee performance, engagement and development, which is intrinsically linked to employee experience.

It’s clear why Frankli is among the most popular Culture Amp competitors.
On paper, their features look similar, but the functionality and scope of these tools varies widely. And there are additional features to consider, too.
Here are just a couple of tools that are unique to Frankli;
- Coaching and Mentoring. Frankli’s Connect tools allow leaders to set up internal coaching and mentoring programs in a couple of minutes. Employees can request to connect with colleagues for coaching and mentoring sessions that will help them acquire new skills or competencies and explore professional interests.
- Careers. Frankli’s Careers space allows leaders to create an internal talent marketplace that reduces hiring costs and minimises bias, while making expectations crystal clear.
- Tasks. Integrating with the Goals and 1:1 Meeting tools, the Tasks space in Frankli allows employees to manage smaller initiatives, linking them to wider goals in order to demonstrate their value. Automated reminders ensure that tasks, particularly those set during busy 1:1 meeting conversations, aren’t forgotten.
Frankli Vs Culture Amp Feature Comparison Chart
Unlike Culture Amp, Frankli offers completely transparent pricing.
Frankli offers 3 plans;
- Grow. This plan includes all features except goals, tasks and integrations. It’s priced at €7 or $7.50* per person per month.
- Scale. This plan includes all of Frankli’s features, plus dedicated customer support, and is priced at €11 or $11.79* per person per month.
- Enterprise. Larger organisations receive a custom quote via the Enterprise plan, which also offers the customer a dedicated onboarding specialist.
With Culture Amp, prices must be negotiated directly with their sales team. However, the latest data from the independent review site G2 tells us that access to the full platform starts from €14.93* or $16/person/month (6). Note: This is the starting price, which will vary based on unknown factors like billing method or length of contract.
But even if your teams are able to secure the starting price, access to the full suite of performance management, engagement and development tools is still 35% higher with Culture Amp. Culture Amp charges at least €14.93* or $16/person/month Vs Frankli’s €11 or $11.79*/person/month (6).

The best way to learn about customer support is from real customers, and independent software review sites like G2 and Capterra can be really helpful here.
Frankli is rated no.1 on G2 for quality of support, with a 9.5 rating (7), while Culture Amp is rated 9.1 (6).
When comparing customer support, it’s important to also consider the specific customer support channels on offer.
Frankli makes this very clear on their pricing page;
- Grow plan. Help centre, resource hub and 24/7 chat support.
- Scale plan. Help centre, resource hub, 24/7 chat support and dedicated support from an assigned customer success specialist.
- Enterprise plan. Help centre, resource hub, 24/7 chat support, dedicated support from an assigned customer success specialist and dedicated support from a customer onboarding specialist.
Culture Amp’s customer support channels are a little less transparent. They offer a help centre, resource hub and chat support during selected business hours, but it’s unclear from their website whether dedicated customer support specialists or customer onboarding specialists are available for all or any plans.
