CompanyMood

What CompanyMood does

CompanyMood is a German SaaS company founded in 2014 by Markus Schwed and Orlando Policicchio, headquartered in Saarlouis with an additional office in Schwalbach. The company provides a cloud-based employee feedback and mood-tracking platform built around a validated smiley-based Happiness Score rating system, where employees rate their mood on a five-level scale in roughly 30 seconds and can attach optional topic tags. The platform supports anonymous feedback collection with configurable anonymity thresholds, a Kanban-style Action Management module, Event Pins for correlating company events with mood trends, a survey system, statements for internal communication, and analytics dashboards with PDF/XLS/CSV export. All data is hosted exclusively in the EEA under EU GDPR, German BDSG, and TMG, with a TÜV-certified data protection officer.

The product is delivered as a multi-tenant SaaS accessible via web, with native mobile apps on iOS and Android (Tracker for employees, Terminal for tablet-based stations) and workflow integrations into Microsoft Teams, Slack, and Office 365/Azure AD via a bot named EVA. HRIS sync is supported for SAP, Persis, and Google Auth on the Enterprise tier, which also unlocks API access. The go-to-market motion is primarily product-led: a free "Teams" tier supports up to 30 users with self-service sign-up, while paid "Business" (€3 per person per month, minimum €99) and "Enterprise" (€5 per person per month, annual contract with 90-day notice) tiers unlock surveys, action management, advanced filters, individual GDPR contracts, and premium support. Enterprise deals are closed via HubSpot-driven demo bookings with feedback experts.

CompanyMood serves a horizontal mix of mid-market and enterprise customers with 50+ employees, primarily across the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) and increasingly into French-speaking markets. Named customers include Siemens AG, REKO GmbH & Co. KG, Saitow AG, Chap Inc., and Sanaia, spanning industrial, IT services, field service, and healthcare verticals. The company is privately held, founder-led, and bootstrapped, with no external institutional investment disclosed in the source materials and a small internal team of 1-10 employees.

Core offering

CompanyMood is a cloud-based SaaS platform that collects anonymous employee feedback through a validated smiley-based Mood Barometer (Happiness Score), enabling organizations to measure team morale, analyze trends, and drive organizational change via a Measure-Analyze-Act workflow. The platform is delivered through a web dashboard, mobile apps for iOS and Android, a Terminal App for tablet-based mood stations, and the EVA bot integrated into Microsoft Teams and Slack, with Enterprise tier add-ons including API access, HRIS sync, and individual GDPR contracts.

Product overview

CompanyMood is a cloud-based employee feedback and listening SaaS platform organized into three pricing tiers — Teams (free, up to 30 people), Business (€3/person/month), and Enterprise (€5/person/month) — each building on the previous by adding modules for surveys, statements, event pins, action management, advanced reporting, and enterprise features. The core platform centers on a validated smiley-based Mood Barometer that employees use to rate their mood in ~30 seconds, supplemented by topic tagging, pulse surveys, and a Kanban-style Action Management module for driving organizational change. Feedback is collected via the web dashboard, a Terminal App for tablet-based stations, and mobile apps (Tracker and Terminal) on iOS and Android, with native integrations into Microsoft Teams and Slack via a bot named EVA. The Enterprise tier unlocks API access, HRIS synchronization (Azure AD, SAP, Persis, Google Auth), and individual GDPR contracts. All tiers are hosted exclusively in Europe (EEA) under EU GDPR requirements.

• Culture Amp: End-to-end employee engagement and performance platform with pulse surveys, eNPS, and analytics. Direct competitor to CompanyMood across the same HR buyer personas, typically selling into mid-market and enterprise.
• 15Five: Continuous employee performance and feedback platform combining weekly check-ins, pulse surveys, and manager dashboards. Overlaps with CompanyMood's pulse/feedback and manager-insight use cases for the same HR and manager buyers.
