Which one is for you

Pick Alchemer if

  • Fits if you're a researcher who needs conjoint, card sort or heatmap questions
  • Works for teams of one to three building long surveys full of branching, with answers going to Salesforce or HubSpot

Look elsewhere if

  • Pricey if you just want a contact form, since paid plans start at $315 per user a year
  • Pricey if you need advanced logic or file uploads, as those start at $1,075 per user a year
  • Not for you if there are more than 3 of you, because that means a custom-priced Platform plan
  • Tight if you're staying free, with 3 surveys at a time, 100 responses on each and basic question types
  • Watch out: the API and single sign-on are Platform only, and kiosk mode and SPSS export need Full Access

Pick InMoment if

  • Fits if you run customer feedback and review management for a large organisation
  • Makes sense if you also want contact-centre call analysis in the same place

Look elsewhere if

  • Skip it if you want a simple form or poll builder, as it targets large organisations
  • Not for you if you need to see prices first, because none are published
  • Watch out: advisory and strategic services cost extra on top of the platform
  • Tight if you want to try it yourself, since there's no trial, only a demo

How we grade them

2.4GPAAlchemerFair1.8GPAInMomentWeak
Value for money
DThe entry licence is $315 per user a year, but advanced logic, file uploads and email campaigns start on Professional at $1,075, about $90 a month against this category's middle of $24. The API isn't on any published plan at all.
CNo prices or plans are published, so it sits in the middle by default. Services from its own experts are sold separately from the platform.
Free plan and trial
CThe free account caps you at 3 surveys at a time, 100 responses each, basic question types and standard reports. You'll hit that on a first real project. The 7-day trial of a paid plan needs no card up front.
FNothing free and no trial on the listing. Access starts with a demo request.
Features
A43 question types, logic, piping, sending by link, email, SMS or QR, and reports out as PDF, PowerPoint, Excel or Word. What the rest of this category hasn't got: conjoint, card sort and heatmap questions, SPSS export and an offline kiosk mode.
BFeedback surveys, reputation management, conversation intelligence, text analytics and employee and market research. The listing shows no gap in the core job.
Ease of use
CNo store rating on record, and this is a platform you learn rather than pick up: 43 question types, advanced logic, piping and merge codes. The AI Survey Builder drafting from a description is the one shortcut in.
CNo store rating on record. A multi-product platform with programs to set up, so there's a learning curve.
Platforms and integrations
BWeb with integrations for Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, Google Sheets, Tableau, Jira and Zapier. No phone or desktop apps, and the API is reserved for custom-priced Platform plans.
CWeb on the listing, plus a mobile application mentioned. No integrations are named.

How this page was made

  • The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
  • The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
  • Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
  • The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
