What you would be giving up
SurveyLegend is most often brought in for a european organisation that needs survey responses to stay in the eu without paying for an enterprise tier to get it, occasional research where a few surveys each collect a large number of responses, which suits a per-survey quota better than a monthly one, consumer-facing surveys where picture choice and visual scales lift completion rates on phones, small teams that want a fixed low monthly cost rather than usage-based billing. Anything replacing it has to cover the ones you actually depend on, and a cheaper tool that misses one of them is not cheaper.
Two things this page cannot settle. It compares on price, model, tier count and rating, because those are the fields the category listing carries, feature-level differences need both full records, which is what the head-to-head pages load. And the ratings are third-party aggregates imported with each entry rather than reviews written here, so a 0.2 difference between two tools is noise rather than a finding.
If SurveyLegend is broadly right and the question is cost, the SurveyLegend pricing breakdown covers every tier and what each one adds. If you want the whole field rather than a shortlist, the Surveys category lists everything the directory holds, and best surveys tools ranks them.
SurveyLegend runs on web, ios, android. Platform coverage is not carried on the category listing for the alternatives, so it is one more thing to check on each head-to-head page rather than here.
