While there are many variables to evaluate in your search for the best survey software; two of the most important are the cost and business strategies of your software company. Here is a brief overview of what to consider and how it will impact your future surveys.
Cost
The price of survey software can vary tremendously from simple, free plans to over $100 per month for highly customizable plans. When adopting a good plan, it’s helpful to consider cost in relation to the services you’ll be getting. Free programs typically place caps on the number of surveys you can create and the number of responses you can receive—not to mention, they offer fewer options to customize your surveys. In contrast, comprehensive plans generally charge a monthly rate and provide more services. Kiss Insights, for example, offers a monthly rate of $29 and offers unlimited surveys, unlimited responses, and other features, such as customized questions and thank you messages for participants.
Strategies
It’s also incredibly important to consider the strategies employed by your survey software’s company. While some companies let users take control of their survey creation and learn by trial and error, others offer professional advice for optimizing responses and successfully analyzing the data. You should look for a company that focuses on both your needs as well as the site visitors’ tastes—asking too many questions, for example, might initially seem like a benefit to you, but it can dissuade visitors from completing the survey in its entirety.
Considering these two factors will help you discover and implement the right survey software for your website.
