## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-16 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> "Agencies" cuts two ways - marketing/creative agencies running surveys *for* clients, and market-research agencies where fielding *is* the product. Here's what I'd actually name, in order, with both covered.
> 
> ## The core platform (pick one)
> 
> **1. SurveyMonkey** - the default I'd start with for most marketing and creative agencies. Cheap enough to put on a retainer, everyone on the client side already knows the interface, and the built-in reporting is good enough to drop straight into a deck. Roughly $4.3k/yr for SMB tiers, ~$39k/yr at enterprise. It's the "boring, works" answer.
> 
> **2. Alchemer** - my pick when SurveyMonkey feels too thin but Qualtrics is overkill, which is where most mid-size agencies actually sit. Real logic branching, better data export, custom pricing. The common framing is ~70-80% of Qualtrics' capability at about half the price, and it handles multi-client workspaces without a fight.
> 
> **3. Typeform** - for anything the client's *customers* will see. Conversational, one-question-at-a-time format gets meaningfully better completion rates on consumer-facing surveys, and it skins to brand well. Weak analytics - treat it as collection, not analysis. (Tally and Fill
