## The answer, as recorded

> "Customer feedback" splits into two jobs, and the right tool depends on which you mean: **private feedback** (surveys, NPS, "what should we fix?") or **public reviews** (Google/Yelp stars that bring in new customers). Here's who I'd actually name, in order:
> 
> **If you want surveys and private feedback**
> 
> 1. **Google Forms** - Start here if you're not already paying for something. Free, unlimited responses, and genuinely fine for a post-purchase survey or a quarterly check-in. Most small businesses outgrow the *process*, not the tool. Don't pay until a paid feature is the thing blocking you.
> 2. **Typeform** - The one I'd pay for first. Conversational one-question-at-a-time forms get noticeably better completion rates than a wall of fields, which matters a lot when you only have a few hundred customers to ask. Free tier is limited; Basic ~$25/mo for 100 responses/mo, Plus ~$50 for 1,000. The response caps are the real cost driver - check your volume before picking a tier.
> 3. **SurveyMonkey** - The default, and the one your customers already recognize, which helps response rates. Good built-in NPS/CSAT templates and benchmarks so you're not inventing questions. The free plan is tight (
