## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-27 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> "Customer feedback" splits into two jobs that need different tools, so here's my list sorted that way.
> 
> ## If you mean surveys / asking customers directly
> 
> **1. Tally** - My default recommendation for a small business that just needs to start collecting feedback this week. The free tier is genuinely unlimited (surveys, responses, conditional logic, file uploads, even payments), it's a Notion-style blank page where you type and hit "/" to add a question, and it exports to Google Sheets/Airtable/Zapier. There's almost no reason to pay for anything until you outgrow it.

> 
> **2. Google Forms** - Free, already in your Google account, zero learning curve, results land in Sheets. Weak templates and ugly branding, but if you want one post-purchase question answered and nothing more, don't overthink it.

> 
> **3. Typeform** - Worth the ~$26/mo Basic (Plus $57, Business $93) when response *rate* is y
