Which one is for you
Pick Crowdsignal if
- Fits if you run a WordPress site and want a poll inside a post
- Works for one-off quizzes or surveys with small audiences
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you run long surveys, because each answer counts as a signal and 2,500 goes fast
- Watch out: over the free limit, extra answers are collected but hidden until you upgrade
- Skip it if you want no branding or your own domain, as both need Business at $45 a month
- Not for you if you need a long list of integrations, as only Sheets and WordPress are named
Pick Surveyplanet if
- Fits if you run lots of surveys and don't want to count responses
- Works for researchers and teachers who want one flat yearly price per license
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you need your results in Excel or CSV without paying, since exports need Pro
- Not for you if your survey needs skip logic on the free plan, as branching is Pro only
- Too light for teams that want answers sent to other apps, with no integrations listed and the API on Enterprise
- Watch out: free surveys carry Surveyplanet branding, and white-label surveys need Pro at $180 a year
- Pricey if you need Teams, custom survey URLs or Insights, which are Enterprise only at $350 a year with no monthly option

More comparisons
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.
