Alchemer** - My default recommendation for most agencies. It's built for exactly this: white-labeling under your own domain, client workspaces, granular user roles, and a genuinely good API for pushing results into your own reporting. Pricing is published and roughly 30-50% below SurveyMonkey Team or Qualtrics at comparable tiers. The catch worth knowing up front: Professional and Full Access are capped at 3 users, so a 4th seat forces you into a custom Business Platform quote - budget for that if you're growing.\n\n**2. Qualtrics (CoreXM / Strategic Research)** - The right answer if your clients are enterprise and expect serious methodology: advanced logic, conjoint/MaxDiff, StatsIQ, and ExpertReview flagging bad question design. It's expensive and mostly unpublished - expect $25K-$50K/yr for a small enterprise team, though the self-serve Strategic Research tier is public at ~$420/month. Worth it when you're billing research as the deliverable, overkill when surveys are a side dish.\n\n**3.
