🚪 Why teams leave Culture Amp & Lattice

The three things that
make HR platforms suck.

If you've used (or shopped for) Culture Amp, Lattice, 15Five or Officevibe, this will sound familiar.

✕ Problem

Nobody opens them.

Surveys live on a portal. Recognition lives on a portal. Reviews live on a portal. Employees forget the URL, lose the password, and your engagement program turns into a 12% response rate.

In a 100-person team, on a portal-based tool…
78%
people quietly ignore your survey
22 respond
78 don't
✓ How we fix it

BuddiesHR runs natively inside Slack and Microsoft Teams.

Pulsy surveys arrive as a Slack/Teams message. People answer in one tap.
Clappy kudos happen in the channel where work already happens.
Billy posts birthdays in #general. The whole team sees them.
Palmy lets people request PTO with a slash command.
Avg response rate in Slack / Teams
80%+avg response rate vs. ~20–30% on portal-based tools
0%100%

Same data. Same dashboards for HR. 3–5× the participation.

🏛️ The 4 pillars

Four pillars,
one platform.

From the moment you ask "how's the team?"
to the moment you sign off on PTO, BuddiesHR is there.

01measure

Know how your team really feels.

Pulse surveys, eNPS, performance signals, and the values your team actually lives day-to-day, measured in one place. People answer in Slack or Teams in under 30 seconds, so you get the full picture instead of guessing from a 22% response rate.

Build culture in the small moments.

The small moments that make people stay. Kudos tied to your company values, automated birthdays and work anniversaries, and scheduled coffee chats that quietly turn coworkers into actual buddies. No HR ops time required, it runs itself in the channels your team already opens every day.

Reviews people don't hate.

Reviews, 360s, weekly check-ins and goal tracking, designed for SMBs, powered by AI, and priced 3× below Lattice or 15Five. Pair it with Clappy and recognition data flows straight into review cycles, so feedback is rooted in what people actually shipped, not what they remembered in the last two weeks.

Take the admin off HR's plate.

The admin work that quietly eats HR's calendar, PTO requests, org chart updates, async standups, onboarding checklists, handled where people already work. Approvals happen in a Slack thread. The org chart updates itself from your HRIS. Standups replace another 15-minute meeting. Your HR team gets their afternoons back.

One source of truth
Data stays in sync across Slack/Teams and the platform.
🧩 Modular

Start with one app.
Add the next when you're ready.

Most People Platforms are all-or-nothing. You buy the full suite, pay for 7 things, and use 2. BuddiesHR is the opposite.

✓
Each module stands alone.
Start with Clappy for recognition. Or Pulsy for surveys. Or Billy just to stop forgetting birthdays.
✓
Each module works together.
Install a second and they share data, recognitions feed into reviews, org chart feeds into surveys, and so on.
✓
Each module is independently priced.
$1/user/month for any single app. $2/user/month for the full Culture OS suite. $3 if you want SimplePerf included. No bundling games.

I've had a really good experience with Billy. It has streamlined recognition for my team, and consistently engages everyone through birthday and anniversary celebrations without me needing to manage it on a daily basis.

My team really enjoy BuddiesHR, multiple functions (Celebrations, Kudos, Surveys...) in one. They're also quick to make updates: I was pleasantly surprised when a suggestion of mine was incorporated into the platform.

One general message in the channel with the main stats of mood and blockers, and all the replies in the thread, I didn't see such an approach in any other daily bot solution. It's super useful.
