In it's category, it's one of the least supple tires.
It's such a vague, subjective thing, particularly since it's very hard to normalize with things like pressure, size, etc.
It's quite easy to normalize for size and pressure, and the difference in feel is substantial. A 28mm Power Cup is nearly the same size as 30mm GP5k. I measure all my tires in multiplier spots with calipers and then blow them up to the pressure recommended by silca's calculator, using the same pump/gauge.
The first time I rode the Power Cup TLR after switching from GP5k/latex, I kept pulling over because I thought I had a flat. The Power Cup at 70 psi felt like GP5k at 20-30 psi, without exaggeration.
