Alchemer is a more robust survey development tool but does not have its own audience that we can field the surveys to. Reporting is more customizable in Alchemer as well. Pollfish is a specific tool for a specific job, ALchemer is more versatile.

Pollfish is simple to use platform and everyone knows about this platform. It has pay as you go model which is very beneficial than any subscription.

Pollfish was more suited for my needs to design surveys for strangers to use and get paid responses. It was definitely newer, and while it had some glitches and shortcomings, it had a better UX than some of the others.

Pollfish is one of the most cost-effective options I have worked with and ir works really well for DIY research. While it doesn’t offer a self-serve portal for some of the more advanced audience builds, their pre-set targeting filters are highly detailed and usually give me …

Pollfish is significantly more powerful and produces much better analytics than these alternatives. The AI interview function is also a significant edge over the competition.

We use Alchemer on a daily basis, as it is integrated with our product.
But Pollfish allows easier survey setup (e.g., options like "None of the above" or "Other" can be added in a second by ticking the box, and they are always at the same place).
We are using Pollfish for …

Overall I would place Pollfish in second place from the list I presented in terms of survey capabilities. My list would go Qualtrics, Pollfish, Lyssna, and then SurveyMonkey. We ultimately went with Pollfish because we felt like it offered most of the main capabilities that …

Surveymonkey was a bit more pricey for what we wanted to do with our survey. From what I remember, they charged more to target the audience that we wanted so we decided to go with Pollfish for the survey we sent out.

I have used Typeform for running some internal surveys as well as client-specific surveys, but the major problem that I had with Typeform is the logic setting of the survey; sometimes it gets very difficult for me to understand how a particular logic flows. Also, logo …

Being able to customise the questions is very handy, even after launching the survey I was able to edit the questions easily. Also, being able to monitor the live results is something that you cannot experience with Platform One. I didn't have to wait until the survey finishes …

Pollfish provides quicker, less expensive results, but is not as customizable. Pollfish is great for a general population survey but Alchemer has advantages if a database of potential respondents exists.

It's felt as though it's a step above Survey Monkey. While Survey Monkey also has a trusted and easy to use platform, we felt that Pollfish had a better sourcing system for respondent pools. Attest is also a great platform but is built more squarely as a brand & marketing …

Pollfish was perfect for our CPG brand because we could narrow our respondent pool to very specific retailers and purchasing behaviors. Was also very affordable and fast.

They do not provide a panel but their self assessment tool is amazing. However, we now have created our own AI tool which is more effective. It would be great to have an integration key to allow AI to analyze live studies.

Pollfish is the most cost effective and the quickest survey platform. However there are questions when it comes to the actual reliability of the results that are retrieved from Pollfish surveys. However, its speed makes it tough to use other platforms, even at a potential …

I would recommend Pollifish if a colleague wanted to know one or two simple things about a consumer (or potential consumer) and did not have the resources or time to do focus groups, as the number of questions is adequate to ask about various topics.I would also recommend it for someone who wanted to test a creative piece in front of a specific audience, such as the last case in which I used it

Pros
No answers on this topic
  • 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.

Cons

  • 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.

For what it is and what it offers, I think it is very user friendly, intuitive and reactive. As long as you don't treat it as a powerful full service research tool and look at it more as the scrappy DIY option, it will actually exceed expectations.

  • Has definitely helped with the speed at which we turn around research projects due to how quickly we get results back.
  • Has enabled us to survey respondents from around the world to get a better sense of the global consumer perspective of our products.
  • Insights builder has given us fantastic in-depth results analysis and stat testing capabilities that were not previously available.
