Which one is for you

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 Surveypal if

  • Fits if you want unlimited users on a survey tool priced by responses
  • Works for teams that feed survey results into Zendesk or Salesforce

Look elsewhere if

  • Skip it if you want a published price, as there isn't one
  • Watch out: the trial's length, limits and card requirement are not stated
  • Too light for AI analysis in the survey tool, as that is listed for CXM
  • Watch out: payment by invoice and a customer success manager appear on CXM only

How we grade them

Value for money
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.
CNo prices are published, since the page says survey tool pricing follows the number of responses.
Free plan and trial
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.

CSurvey design, distribution, reporting and unlimited users. AI analysis, payment by invoice and a customer success manager are listed for CXM only.

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.
