Here's what I'd actually name:\n\n## If you want to ask customers questions (surveys, NPS, CSAT)\n\n**1. Google Forms** - Start here if you're not sure yet. Free, unlimited responses, no trial clock. It won't do NPS scoring or automated follow-ups, but if you just need to find out why people churned, it costs you nothing and takes 20 minutes. A lot of small businesses over-buy here.\n\n**2. Zoho Survey** - Best paid value at ~$19/month, and there's a usable free tier with unlimited surveys (capped questions/responses). If you already use anything in the Zoho suite, it's an obvious pick. ([pricing](https://www.softwaresuggest.com/zoho-survey/pricing))\n\n**3. Typeform** - From ~$25/month. Pick this when the survey is customer-facing and design matters - one question per screen, high completion rates. Worth it for onboarding or lead-qualification forms, overkill for internal pulse checks.\n\n**4. SurveyMonkey** - The default name, free plan available, paid from ~$10-39/month depending on plan.
