## ToolGPA grades

- **Value for money: C.** Essentials is £12.99 a month on yearly billing, about $17, which is in the middle of what forms tools charge. Plus is £25 and Business £59.

- **Features: C.** Surveys, quizzes, forms, payments and calculators in one place. Exports, cross-tabulation and branding removal need a paid plan, and the inbox feature is marked coming soon.
- **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. You build each survey or form yourself.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** The plain part of FreeOnlineSurveys you could make: surveys, forms and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 2 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. It costs $208.86 a year.

- You could make: Surveys, forms and reports: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: Splitting visitors between versions and telling you which won.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.

A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it.
