## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 1.8 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. Perceptyx is an enterprise survey platform for listening to employees. No price, plan or trial is published and you're sent to talk to an expert. The security certifications it lists are the vendor's own claims, and small teams won't find a self-serve route.

- **Value for money: C.** No price is published, so there's nothing to set against the $2 to $9 a seat a month this category charges. That leaves it at C.
- **Free plan and trial: F.** No free plan and no trial is listed. You start with a demo request.
- **Features: C.** Employee listening and engagement surveys. It's a smaller job than a full HR suite, and the pages show no gap in it, so C.
- **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record, and you'd set it up with your own people data first, so it's an ordinary C.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, with two listed integrations. No desktop or phone app on record.

These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Perceptyx's own pages on 13 November 2026. Not based on using the product, and shorter than our full reviews.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** The plain part of Perceptyx you could make: surveys and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 46 of the 101 other HR software grade higher.

- You could make: Surveys and reports: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- You could not: People on the other end: coaches. No app builder makes those.
