Which one is for you

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

Pick Sogolytics if

  • Works for students and non-profits who can ask about free licenses

Look elsewhere if

  • Pricey if you pay monthly, since Pro is $99 and Pro Max is $199 a month
  • Watch out: the $66 and $99 yearly prices are a limited-time first-year discount and the page gives no renewal figure
  • Tight if you stay free, with 200 responses and 200 email invitations a year
  • Skip it if you need SMS invitations, as they are Enterprise only

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.
