SurveyCTO pricing

SurveyCTO plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.

| Basic | $225/month | 6 | +$225/month, 6 more features |

| Advanced | $630/month | 4 | +$315/month, 4 more features |
| Enterprise | On request | 4 | Priced on request |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

What the product covers
The full SurveyCTO feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.
Other
- Offline collection
- XLSForm authoring
- Automated quality checks
- Audio auditing
- Case management
- Random assignment
- Server region selection
People bring SurveyCTO in for a household survey with 200 enumerators across a country where paying per seat would cost more than the fieldwork, an impact evaluation that needs audio auditing and timing metadata to prove interviews were conducted as reported, a panel study revisiting the same households annually and needing offline case assignment to find them again, a statistics unit that must keep data inside a specific region and produce a soc 2 report for its funder. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to SurveyCTO are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in Surveys
Too few surveys tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the SurveyCTO badges page.
Before you pay for SurveyCTO
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 5 tiers between Free and On request, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
SurveyCTO runs on web, android, ios, and is published by Dobility, Inc. of Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States. The full record is on the SurveyCTO review, and the rest of the category is under best surveys tools.

In practice it is brought in for a household survey with 200 enumerators across a country where paying per seat would cost more than the fieldwork, an impact evaluation that needs audio auditing and timing metadata to prove interviews were conducted as reported, a panel study revisiting the same households annually and needing offline case assignment to find them again.
- Does SurveyCTO charge per user?
- The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 5 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.
- Are these SurveyCTO prices current?
- They are what the catalogue entry holds, refreshed when the entry is. Vendors change pricing without notice and nobody at Softwr re-verifies each tier by hand, so treat this as a structured summary and the vendor's own pricing page as the authority.
- What should I compare SurveyCTO against before paying?
- The closest surveys tools in this directory are KoboToolbox, QuestionPro, Medallia, Device Magic. Each has a side-by-side comparison with SurveyCTO covering price, platforms and features.
