> # Best customer feedback tools for small businesses
> 
> "Customer feedback" splits into two different jobs, and the right tool depends on which one you have. Here's how I'd rank them.
> 
> ## If you want to run surveys (NPS/CSAT, post-purchase, churn)
> 
> **1. Survicate** - My default recommendation for most small businesses. It's purpose-built for ongoing customer feedback rather than one-off surveys: email, in-app, website, and link surveys in one place, with decent AI theme analysis on open-ended answers. Starts around $49/month. The automatic theming matters more than people expect - a 3-person team will never maintain a manual tagging scheme, and that's the #1 reason feedback tools get abandoned.
> 
> **2. Zonka Feedback** - Best value if budget is the constraint. Roughly $348/year for a single user, versus ~$1,500+/year for Qualtrics' entry tier. Multi-channel (email, SMS, kiosk, in-app), so it works well for brick-and-mortar plus online. Less polished than Survicate but you get most of the function.
> 
> **3. Delighted** (a Qualtrics product) - The cleanest NPS/CSAT setup experience; you can be live in an afternoon. Genuinely free tier for low volume (25 responses/month on the free plan), wit
