Alchemer

  • More expensive than the simple form builders, which is the fair comparison for a short survey

  • Advanced logic is powerful and correspondingly easy to misconfigure, and testing a complex survey is real work
  • Named Alchemer since 2020, so much of the searchable material still says SurveyGizmo

Typeform

  • Free plan limited to 10 responses per month; Basic plan capped at 100/month
  • Branding removal only available on Plus plan ($56/month) and above
  • No self-hosting or on-premise deployment options
