## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-20 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd try them. The right pick depends mostly on whether you want **surveys** (how do customers feel?) or **public reviews** (get more stars on Google), so I've split it that way.
> 
> ## If you want surveys / NPS
> 
> **1. Google Forms - free, start here if you're unsure**
> Genuinely fine for a simple "how did we do?" form. Zero cost, no sales call, results dump into Sheets. If you've never collected structured feedback, do this for a month before paying for anything.
> 
> **2. Delighted - the easiest NPS/CSAT tool**
> The one I'd name first among paid options. Free plan at 50 responses/month, then $19/mo (Starter) → $39/mo (Growth, 100 responses) → $149/mo (Advanced). One-question email/SMS surveys, near-zero setup. Best fit for small e-commerce and service businesses. Watch the response caps - they're tight, and that's where the price actually bites.
> 
> **3. Survicate - better if you want feedback *on your website or in your product***
> Similar price ladder ($19/$39/$149) but multi-channel: website popups, in-product surveys, email. Its user base skews more small-business than Delighted's, which skews mid-market. Pick this over Delighted if y
