> # Customer feedback tools worth your money as a small business
> 
> The honest first thing: "customer feedback" splits into two different problems, and the right tool depends on which one you have. If you want to **ask** customers questions (surveys, NPS, post-purchase), that's one category. If you want to **collect and manage public reviews** (Google, Yelp, Facebook), that's a different and usually more expensive one. Here's who I'd actually name, in order.
> 
> ## If you want surveys and NPS
> 
> **1. Zoho Survey** - Where I'd start if budget matters. The free plan gives unlimited surveys with up to 15 questions and 150 responses, and paid starts around $19/month. Genuinely usable for validating whether you'll stick with a feedback habit before paying for one. Best value in the category.
> 
> **2. SurveyMonkey** - The safe default, and repeatedly the #1 pick in small-business roundups. Built-in NPS templates, everyone recognizes the format so response rates hold up, and it does polls and event feedback too. Individual plans run ~$39/month, team plans ~$25/user/month with a 3-user minimum on annual billing. You pay a premium for maturity rather than features.
> 
> **3. Typeform** - Pick this if respo
