123FormBuilder vs. Pollfish

If you have a lot of customer interaction with your site, where you need to collected specific, targeted, situational data, 123FormBuilder is an absolute winner. If your site is more information and perhaps leads to a software platform or other product or service, 123FormBuilder might prove unnecessarily robust for you. Something simpler and cheaper might make more sense for you. But in most cases where you're seeking to collect information from customers, I'd happily recommend 123FormBuilder.

Again, when it comes to quick, DIY research it is one of the best options I've seen! Capable of a lot and very reliable, stable platform with quality respondents. They also automatically do bad data checks while in field, which saves time and effort on the back end and makes it easier to trust the results. Also, passing this to a colleague who is less skilled when it comes to research is less of an issue since their team also reviews every survey before launch

• Customizable look and feel options based on varying requirements in our case
• Logic based branching & validation

• Pollfish is very intuitive to use. If you understand how survey questions and answer options are structured, building the surveys themselves is pretty simple.
• When you do run into problems, the customer service through the chat agent on the site is second to none. They are always very responsive and have answered any question I've ever had very quickly and very clearly.
• Pollfish automatically can break you data down into several interesting subcategories. But it's also very easy to break your pool down into one that's very custom, and that's something that other survey companies charge quite a bit for.

• Some employees are intimidated at first. After all, it is html.
• There is so much functionality that it can be easy for novices to get lost.
• Will there be more payment flexibility? parents use more of the bank to person payment options.

• Prohibiting participants who don't fit your requirements. I've seen times where someone will literally say in a free responses question that they marked an answer, got rejected from a study, then opened the link again and selected a new answer to be able to participate.
• An easy way to remove participants who are "bad responses" and have the results view upload seamlessly.
• Maybe an AI function that helps you remove bias from quesitons.

I like the product, but I am no longer in control of the project where this product was being used. However, I would definitely use 123ContactForm on future products

Easy to install and quickly explain to others how to use

I think it is limited in being a browser only application. If there was a native software application that hosted Pollfish to eliminate some of the lag time working in surveys, I think that would be a big value add. Sometimes the platform gets too bogged online when trying to add things into the survey.

I installed 123ContactForm myself and while I had some issues installing it I was able to visit their website and the troubleshooting information they provided in their faq section. They did offer other support if a user needed additional support, but I found the information provided on their website to be more than sufficient

123ContactForm was very easy to implement and the content provided by them supported the product very well and answered all of my questions

Compared to JotForm or Woofoo, 123ContactForm offers a much better interface and better flexibility than the other tools. I have used JotForm only to get stumped by their inability to push the limits of the form. As for Woofoo, the level of ease of use in terms of their interface leaves much to be desired. Any updates made to their form was down using a WYSIWYG, where with 123ContactForm you can make the updates while building the form

Honestly, it came down to having a user-friendly platform at an affordable cost. For the type of analysis we do, we don’t need a heavy, highly complex solution like Qualtrics -- after trying it, we found it far too intimidating and expensive to maintain. Pollfish provides a strong balance of capabilities with reliable data, and we can create, launch, and collect results within hours. I’ve considered exploring other options, but Pollfish continues to reinvest in the platform and add value, which has kept it aligned with our business needs.

It was easy to install and I believe that would make it easy to use across several websites

• 123ContactForm has been positive for my business. It has saved us money because we did not require any development I was able to do this myself.

• At least a couple of our new business wins this year were attributed to prospective clients appreciating the thorough research our new business team conducted preparing for the pitch. We used Pollfish to collect the data for that research.
• We accelerated several deliverables being able to design, field and analyze surveys "un-house" using Pollfish rather than waiting for a 3rd party full-service vendor to return the survey data to us.
