Where each one falls short

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

Medallia

There is no published pricing and no self-serve tier, so evaluating cost requires a sales process before any real budgeting can happen.
Implementation is a project, not a signup, and typically involves data integration and consulting work before the platform produces usable dashboards.
The breadth of modules means a buyer who only needs a simple survey tool is paying for enterprise infrastructure they will not use.
Switching away later means re-architecting how feedback is collected across the organisation, which creates real vendor lock-in once rolled out.
Smaller teams and mid-market companies are effectively priced out, since the platform and its go-to-market are built for large enterprise accounts.

Swydo

Pricing by data source punishes agencies with many small clients: forty clients on two connections each costs more than the headline EUR 69 suggests, and the per-source rate only starts falling after ten sources.
There is no data warehouse or SQL layer, so any calculation the interface does not offer natively cannot be built, and complex attribution reporting has to happen elsewhere.
Historical data lives with the connection, so removing a departed client destroys the reporting history for that account unless it was exported first.
The connector list is around forty sources and skews to mainstream ad platforms, so agencies serving niche verticals with bespoke platforms will still need manual data entry or Google Sheets bridges.
Report design is template-driven rather than free-form, so agencies that sell on the polish of their deliverables often find they cannot match a designed InDesign or Canva output.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Medallia: Is there a self-serve or free version?

No. Medallia sells only through direct sales with quoted enterprise contracts; there is no published price list.

Swydo: Does Swydo charge per client?

No. Clients, users and reports are unlimited. You pay a base fee plus a per-data-source charge above ten sources.

Medallia: Can a mid-sized company buy Medallia?

Technically yes, but the sales motion, implementation cost and contract structure are built for large enterprise deployments, not smaller teams.

Swydo: What is a data source?

One authenticated connection to one platform for one account, so one client with Google Ads and GA4 is two sources.

Medallia: Does it replace a standalone survey tool?

It can collect surveys, but its value is in unifying multiple feedback channels; a company only needing surveys is better served by a cheaper dedicated tool.

Swydo: Can clients log in themselves?

Yes, clients get live dashboard access at no extra seat cost.
