## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-04 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd try them:
> 
> **1. Google Forms (free)** - Start here if you've never run a survey. It's free, unlimited, and good enough for a post-purchase or post-service questionnaire. Don't pay for software until you know you'll actually read the responses.
> 
> **2. Survicate** - My default first paid pick. Multichannel (email, in-app, website, link), a genuinely usable free tier, and AI summarization of open-text answers. The on-ramp from "free experiment" to "real program" is the smoothest of the bunch.
> 
> **3. Typeform (~$25/mo)** - Best choice if response rate is your problem. The one-question-at-a-time format noticeably outperforms grid-style surveys, and it looks like something you'd be happy to put your brand on. Weaker on analysis.
> 
> **4. SurveyMonkey (~$18/mo)** - The boring, reliable option. Huge template library (NPS, CSAT, post-purchase) so you're not writing questions from scratch, and benchmark data to compare your scores against. Watch the response caps on cheap tiers.
> 
> **5. Zonka Feedback** - Step up to this when you want NPS/CSAT/CES tracked properly over time plus kiosk/tablet and SMS collection. Good fit for brick-and-mort
