The short version

  • Only SurveyLegend has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Marketing Evolution pricing not published on vendor website; enterprise data infrastructure platform requires custom quote; SurveyLegend every paid tier can collect more responses than it can export, with Pro gathering 5,000 per survey but exporting only 1,000 and Business gathering 20,000 but exporting 10,000, so data you have paid to collect can be stranded inside the product.
  • They diverge on capability: Marketing Evolution covers Multi-touch attribution, SurveyLegend covers Per survey response limits.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Marketing Evolution

  • Pricing not published on vendor website; enterprise data infrastructure platform requires custom quote

SurveyLegend

  • Every paid tier can collect more responses than it can export, with Pro gathering 5,000 per survey but exporting only 1,000 and Business gathering 20,000 but exporting 10,000, so data you have paid to collect can be stranded inside the product.
  • The free Starter plan cannot export data at all, only preview it in the live analytics, which makes it a demonstration rather than a usable plan and means any real project starts as a paid one.
  • The vendor claims neither SOC 2 nor ISO 27001 nor any third-party audit, and its GDPR page does not disclose hosting location, subprocessors or transfer mechanisms, so an enterprise security review will stall regardless of how good the residency story is.
  • The integration list runs to roughly four connectors with no native Zapier, Make, Slack, Teams, HubSpot or Airtable support, so anything beyond Google Sheets or Mailchimp has to be built against the API, which itself is unavailable below the Business tier.
  • No seat, collaborator or team permission model is documented anywhere in the pricing, features or user guide, so an organisation that needs several people to share and administer surveys has no described way to do it.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Marketing Evolution: How much does Marketing Evolution Substrate cost?

Marketing Evolution does not publish pricing on its website. The Substrate platform is sold through enterprise contracts requiring custom quotes.

Source
SurveyLegend: Where is my data stored?

In Frankfurt, Germany, on DigitalOcean, on every plan including the free one, with backups also held in Frankfurt. There is no United States transfer and no residency upgrade to buy.

Marketing Evolution: What is the cost of Darwin proactive intelligence?

Darwin is included with the Substrate platform. Marketing Evolution does not publish per-user or per-instance pricing on its website.

Source
SurveyLegend: What is the catch with the free plan?

You cannot export your data. You can build three surveys, collect a thousand responses each and view the analytics, but getting the raw responses out requires a paid plan.

Marketing Evolution: Does Marketing Evolution offer a free trial?

Marketing Evolution directs users to request a demo or get started on the website. No free trial period is mentioned or offered.

Source
SurveyLegend: Why does Pro cost 170 USD a year when the page shows 15 USD a month?

The published annual total is 170 USD, which is ten dollars below twelve times the stated monthly-equivalent rate. Both figures are printed on the vendor pricing page.

SurveyLegend: Is it suitable for an enterprise rollout?

Probably not. There is no SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification, no documented team or permission model, and support is by email with phone access only on the top tier.
