Pollfish vs Sondea (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Pollfish if

• Fits if you need answers from strangers rather than your own list
• Works for researchers who can set a budget per response

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you need many answers, because each response costs from $0.95
• Watch out: full-service projects start at $5,000 per market and enterprise at $10,000 a year
• Skip it if you only want to collect your own form entries, as it is built around its panel
• Tight if you want free responses, as the page gives no allowance or trial

Pick Sondea if

• Fits if you want a research firm to run a study for you in Spain
• Works for brands that need a consumer panel rather than their own contact list

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a survey builder to use yourself, as the pages describe none
• Not for you if you need a price up front, since studies are quoted per project
• Watch out: the site is in Spanish only
• Too light for nothing, but too heavy if all you need is a quick poll

Pollfish

• The platform is free but responses are charged per response, from $0.95 each, so cost grows with sample size.
• Full-service projects start at $5,000 per market and enterprise packages at $10,000 a year.
• It is a research product built around its own panel, not a general form or data-collection tool.
• The page gives no free response allowance or trial; the free part is the builder and joining.

Sondea

• No prices are published; studies are quoted per project.
• The site is in Spanish and sells research services, not a self-serve survey builder.
• Self-serve access to the software is not described on the pages read, only a user login and a registration link.
