- Skip it if you need team seats, as every plan includes one user
- Watch out: white label, API access and phone support are Legendary only, $65 a month
- Watch out: prices exclude VAT

- Fits if you run customer, employee or market research and need statistics on the answers
- Works for a one-off project on the month-to-month Standard plan, at $149 for the month
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you only need a simple form, at $39 a month billed annually ($468) for the cheapest yearly plan
- Pricey if you want crosstabs, advanced logic or multilingual surveys, since all wait for Premier at $139 a month
- Tight if you stay free: 10 questions per survey, and the number of viewable responses is only shown after sign-up
- Watch out: paid plans cap responses (1,000 a month on Standard, 15,000 a year on Advantage) and charge $0.15 for each extra
- Skip it if you're a team of two, as Team plans need 3 users, and Salesforce, Power BI, Tableau and SSO need Enterprise at 5 or more

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.
