# Lattice vs. Culture Amp

> Lattice and Culture Amp have converged on the same broad promise - one system for performance, goals, feedback and employee listening - but they arrived from opposite directions. Lattice began with performance management and added engagement surveys in 2018; Culture Amp pioneered employee feedback and added performance capability through its 2019 acquisition of Zugata. That history remains the most useful buying signal: choose Lattice when formal reviews, goals and manager workflows are the operating spine, and give Culture Amp the advantage when survey design, benchmarks and organizational listening drive the decision.

## Achievements

- Lattice reports that more than 5,000 organizations use its platform.
- Culture Amp reports more than 6,000 customers and 25 million employees across customer organizations.
- Lattice reached a $1 billion valuation in its 2021 Series E financing.
- Culture Amp's 2019 Zugata acquisition brought continuous performance management into its employee-feedback platform.

## Latest updates

- **2026-06** — Lattice announced workforce-intelligence features and early access to an MCP integration, while describing a connected foundation across performance, goals, growth, engagement, compensation and AI.
- **2026-03** — Culture Amp introduced its Performance Culture Quadrant, positioning engagement and performance as a combined diagnostic.
