pulse surveys that don't punish you for having a small team

a team of eight shouldn't pay $80/month for a tool that a team of eighty pays $800/month for. that's how per-seat works, and it's the reason most small-team managers never bother. the math says "just skip the survey."

jollygig charges flat per team. $49/month on the starter tier, regardless of whether you have 6 people or 60. the cost of understanding your team doesn't scale with your team size.

how per-seat breaks the signal

with per-seat pricing, you ration invites. you buy licenses for the people you can afford to include, which is never everyone. and the moment you exclude even one or two people from the survey, you've introduced selection bias into your signal.

small teams are especially vulnerable: on an eight-person team, excluding two means 25% of your signal is missing. the results look like your team when they're actually a view of a subset. we go deeper on this in why per-seat pricing breaks pulse surveys.

flat pricing means you invite everyone. you get the full signal.

the five-person minimum

anonymity requires a minimum population. if fewer than five team members respond, jollygig shows nothing — no partial results, no averages, nothing. this is enforced at the database level, not in the interface.

for a team of six, five out of six need to respond before anything appears. that's a high bar, but it's what makes the anonymity real. the full reasoning is in the five-person rule.

if your team is currently under five people, jollygig isn't the right tool yet. the anonymity model requires the minimum to work. we'd rather tell you that clearly than show you something misleading.

what you actually see

jollygig runs a short three-question pulse survey on a cadence you set. results come back as population-level patterns — named signals like "growth-blocked" or "in their element" — with action plans attached. you get something to do, not just a number to watch.

the patterns change over time. the trend matters as much as the snapshot. and because the anonymity is structural (no user id stored with responses), your team can answer honestly — which is the only thing that makes the signal worth having. for a guide on reading those patterns, see reading team-health signals.

pricing

starter is $49/month (or $39/month on an annual plan) for one team, no per-seat anything. growth is $129/month for up to 10 managers, with anonymous cross-team rollups if you have multiple teams.

the free trial is 30 days with no credit card required. invite your whole team from day one. see the full pricing comparison.
