The short version

  • Only SurveyLegend has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: 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.; 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.
  • They diverge on capability: SurveyLegend covers Per survey response limits, Swydo covers Multi-platform connectors.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

What people use each for

The jobs each tool is most often brought in to do.

SurveyLegend

  • A European organisation that needs survey responses to stay in the EU without paying for an enterprise tier to get itnot Swydo
  • Occasional research where a few surveys each collect a large number of responses, which suits a per-survey quota better than a monthly onenot Swydo
  • Consumer-facing surveys where picture choice and visual scales lift completion rates on phonesnot Swydo
  • Small teams that want a fixed low monthly cost rather than usage-based billingnot Swydo

Swydo

  • A performance agency with a dozen retainer clients that each need a branded monthly PDF without an analyst rebuilding itnot SurveyLegend
  • An in-house team reporting on paid search and paid social to a board that will not open a Looker Studio linknot SurveyLegend
  • An agency that wants unlimited internal users because juniors, account managers and the finance team all need accessnot SurveyLegend
  • Replacing a per-client reporting tool when the client roster is small but each client runs many channelsnot SurveyLegend

Where each one falls short

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Swydo: Is there a free plan?

No, only a fourteen day trial. Billing starts at EUR 69 per month.

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.

Swydo: Can clients log in themselves?

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