6Q

6Q is a web service for recurring six-question employee surveys, mood tracking and peer recognition. It fits small businesses that want a lightweight feedback rhythm rather than a broad HR platform. Its low entry price is attractive, but the five- and 50-user ceilings matter as teams expand.

Overview

Leaders can send pulse or engagement surveys as anonymous polls or identify respondents when follow-up matters. More than 200 professional questions provide a starting point, while custom questions let paid customers adapt surveys to their own concerns. Benchmarking, visual trends and comparisons by team, location or department turn individual answers into a view of how groups are feeling.

6Q is deliberately focused. It suits a few employees and a simple management structure better than organizations seeking an extensive employee-experience suite. The service is web-only, and larger organizations must move beyond the listed team plans to custom enterprise arrangements.

Key features

Scheduled surveys and reports

Polls can run every 1, 2, 4 or 13 weeks at a selected day and time. The Free, 10 Team and 50 Team descriptions include weekly, two-weekly and four-weekly schedules; the 13-week cadence is not included in those plan descriptions. Email summaries and detailed web reports can be viewed, printed or exported, making results practical to circulate and retain.

Recognition and segmentation

High Fives lets employees thank colleagues and adds a leaderboard, giving the feedback cycle a visible recognition element. Unlimited segments on the free plan allow grouping by team, location or department for mood comparisons. Security is handled through SSL delivery, and poll data is not shared with third parties.

Support

Email support and a knowledge base cover the listed plans. Telephone support during business hours is reserved for enterprise customers, an important distinction for organizations that need live assistance.

Pricing

Plan	Price	What you get
Free Plan	free	Up to 5 users; weekly, 2-weekly or 4-weekly polls; detailed reports; visual trends across 18 polls; unlimited segments; peer recognition; email support
10 Team	$9 a month	Up to 10 users; the same three listed poll cadences, reports and 18-poll visual trends; custom questions; email support
50 Team	$49 a month	Up to 50 users; the same poll cadences, reports and 18-poll visual trends; custom questions; email support
Custom enterprise plans	Custom enterprise plans available	For larger teams

The Free Plan is useful for a very small group and includes recognition and segmentation, but five users is a strict ceiling. At $9 per month, 10 Team is the sensible step for a small company that needs custom questions; 50 Team at $49 per month extends that model to a larger department. Both paid team plans retain the 18-poll visual-trend scope and omit the 13-week schedule from their descriptions. Larger workforces need a custom quote. A free trial is offered, alongside the permanently free plan.

Platforms

6Q runs on the web. Email summaries and web reports support distribution without requiring a separate desktop or mobile application.

Who it's for

Choose 6Q for a small business that wants regular, short employee check-ins, anonymous or attributable responses, group mood comparisons and lightweight peer recognition. It is less appropriate for a growing organization that needs more than 50 users on a standard plan or expects a broad HR and employee-experience system.

Pros and cons

• Pros: A free five-user tier keeps recurring surveys accessible to tiny teams; over 200 questions reduce setup work; custom questions on paid plans support tailored programs; scheduled cadences, reports and visual trends make the pulse repeatable; High Fives adds peer recognition; SSL delivery and non-sharing of poll data address basic privacy concerns.
• Cons: The free tier supports only five users; standard paid plans stop at 50; visual trends cover 18 polls; custom questions are excluded from Free; telephone support is enterprise-only; the product is web-only.

Verdict

6Q is a strong pick for a small team that wants a simple, recurring employee pulse with recognition at little or no cost. Its main reason to choose it is the focused combination of scheduled six-question surveys, comparisons and reports. Look elsewhere if your workforce exceeds 50 users, needs native apps or requires a fuller employee-experience and HR platform.
