> **1. Google Forms (free)** - Genuinely where I'd start if you're not sure what you're doing yet. Unlimited responses, zero cost, exports to Sheets. Most small businesses discover their feedback problem is "we don't ask," not "our survey tool lacks NPS segmentation." Outgrow it before you pay for anything.

Typeform is prettier and has much better completion rates on longer forms, but pricing scales by *response volume*, which bites: ~$25/mo for only 100 responses, ~$50 for 1,000.

> 
> **4. Birdeye or Podium** - The paid version of #3,
