Value for money
CEssentials is $19.99 a month on yearly billing, level with the middle of what forms tools charge. Business is $49.99 and Enterprise starts at $149.99.
D$99 per user a month is well past the $74 where this category's dearest tenth begins, and four times the $24 middle, for 1 user and 25,000 responses a year. No monthly option is published, and the cheaper Team rate needs at least 5 users.
Free plan and trial
CThe free plan is forever but stops at 50 responses and 500 email sends. Enough to try it, not to run a survey.
CEssentials is free for one person with 30 question types, logic, integrations and 24/7 chat support, but each survey stops at 200 responses, which anything public will pass. There's a 10-day trial of Advanced as well.
Features
CQuestion library, NPS, CES, reports, alerts and website intercepts. File uploads, multi-language surveys and Nudges need Business, and mobile app surveys and SSO need Enterprise.
ACovers the survey job and more than the rest of the category: up to 52 question types, branching, piping and skip logic with a Path Simulator that flags questions no one can reach, surveys in 100-plus languages, SPSS exports, an offline fieldwork app that tracks quotas, and conjoint and MaxDiff in the Research Suite.
Ease of use
CNo store rating on record. You build each survey from the library, which is set-up work.
CNo store rating on record, and a platform of this size takes learning: dozens of question types, logic and piping, panels and data centers. The AI Survey Agent drafting questions, scales and logic is the shortcut.
Platforms and integrations
BWeb only, with Mailchimp, Vertical Response and Adobe connections. No desktop or phone app.
BWeb plus both phones, with the app collecting answers offline, and integrations with Salesforce, HubSpot, Microsoft Dynamics, Google Sheets, Tableau, Power BI, Zapier, webhooks and an API. No desktop app, which is what an A needs.

Worth knowing

  • The crossed-out prices on the page (at $39.99 and $99.99) could not be tied to a monthly-billing option, so the billing basis of those figures is unconfirmed.

  • Team Edition needs at least 5 users, and the Research Suite at least 10, with pricing on request.

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.
