Why teams switch

What Culture Amp makes hard, Nami makes lighter.

Culture Amp is excellent at enterprise engagement research and benchmarking. But performance is layered on top, reviews still happen in a separate platform, and the whole thing is built and priced for large organizations.

01

With Culture Amp

Engagement is the core and reviews are layered on — so performance still happens in a separate tool people forget to open.

With Nami

Reviews and OKRs are Nami's core, and they run in Slack where they actually get completed.

02

With Culture Amp

It's built and priced for large enterprises — overkill (and over budget) for a 20–200 person team.

With Nami

Right-sized and simple: $5/user/month, free under 10 people, live in minutes.

03

With Culture Amp

Deep engagement surveys often mean a separate contract and a people-science lift to operate.

With Nami

Anonymous pulse surveys and eNPS are included in the one plan, on whatever cadence you set.
