QuestionPro vs SimpleSurvey (2026): which should you pick?

Pick QuestionPro if

• Fits if you're a market researcher who needs conjoint, MaxDiff or an audience panel
• Works for field teams that have to collect answers with no connection

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you're a small business, since paid plans start at $99 per user a month
• Not for you if you want to pay month by month, as the pricing page shows annual billing only
• Tight if you stay free: 1 user and 200 responses per survey
• Watch out: Team Edition needs at least 5 users and the Research Suite at least 10, with its price on request
• Watch out: the customer and employee experience products are sold separately, with pricing on request

Pick SimpleSurvey if

• Fits if your rules require data hosted in Canada
• Works for multilingual surveys sent by email

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a free plan, as there is none after the 15-day trial
• Pricey if you add people: PRO is $58 a user a month and manages only 3 users
• Not for you if you need SMS invitations, SSO or integrations, which are Enterprise
• Watch out: the page shows plain dollar signs, and a Canadian company may be quoting Canadian dollars
