Which one is for you
Pick AskNicely if
- Fits if you run a service business that wants staff leaderboards from feedback
- Works for teams that want reviews requested after each job
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want to try it yourself, since there's no trial, only a demo
- Not for you if you need a price up front, as none is published
- Watch out: SSO costs $1,500 a year and NiceAI and reputation management are add-ons
- Tight if you're small: plans start at 500 responses a year, and a named success manager only comes above $9,600 a year
Pick Survicate if
- Fits if you're a product team running surveys inside your app or website
- Works for customer experience teams tracking NPS, CSAT and CES alongside support tickets
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you collect lots of answers, since 100 responses a month already costs $56 and 1,500 costs $289
- Not for you if you want a free plan, as there's only a 10-day trial that stops at 25 responses
- Watch out: monthly Starter keeps the Survicate branding, allows 2 active surveys and charges $0.39 to $0.89 per extra response
- Skip it if you need webhooks, the Export API or Salesforce on a small budget, because those need Pro, from $349 a month
- Watch out: SAML SSO is Enterprise only, from $569 a month on an annual commitment

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.
