Happy Mood Score vs HeartCount

Happy Mood Score is a web-based pulse survey and employee engagement platform for growing teams, including teams spread across offices or working remotely. It emails one question at a time, and employees can answer without logging in or installing an app. Questions can use standard or eNPS formats with custom answer options, and surveys can be scheduled daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly for a selected time zone and dispatch day. Dashboards display engagement scores, trends, team heatmaps, response-rate breakdowns, and score distributions. Managers can organize employees into teams and view team scores, response rates, and rankings. Employees can also give public kudos linked to company values. The site lists English, Spanish, French, and German, with each person seeing their own language, and says confidentiality thresholds protect small teams from responses being traced to individuals. The Free plan is free for up to 20 employees with all features; Growth is $19 a month for 21 or more employees, at a flat rate rather than per seat.

HeartCount is a web-based employee engagement and people analytics platform for HR teams, managers, and leadership. Automated weekly pulse surveys use short questions to surface insights about morale, productivity, and happiness. Dashboards and reports show engagement trends, well-being scores, high-risk teams, and satisfaction drivers. Teams can create custom surveys for onboarding, exit interviews, and other needs, and use peer recognition, anonymous feedback, and threaded employee-manager communication. Churn prediction, AI insights, and individual risk flags are intended to help identify retention concerns. HeartCount integrates with Slack, Microsoft Teams, and common HRIS platforms. It states that data is encrypted in transit using TLS and at rest using AES-256, with role-based access controls and mandatory MFA; it also supports GDPR compliance and provides a Data Processing Addendum and employee data exports. The free Starter tier covers up to 25 employees. Business costs $2.50 per employee per month and covers up to 500 employees; annual billing saves 20%. Enterprise pricing is by quote.
