    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 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).

    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 Qual…

    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 …

    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.

    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.

    Despite its minor shortcomings, PollFish is still very good for startups that need to gauge their product idea's potential acceptance and customer demand, and also very useful for fine-tuning their branding, messaging, product features, and even pricing. This is so much better than traditional polling and surveying, which were more expensive and much slower in the past.

    Pros
    Prodege LLC
    • Obtain people's opinions on a specific topic, both quantitatively and qualitatively, as it has option for open answers.
    • Being able to segment my audience not only by country and state, but also by city and even socioeconomic level (something that is particularly difficult outside of the United States).
    • Be able to insert videos in order to make quick creativity tests.
    • Obtain quick results. Most of the times in only one day, even with specific segmentations.

    Cons
    Prodege LLC
    • The survey editor UI can be quite annoying. The way it scrolls back up to the top of the page whenever I click on a question to edit it makes it so that the page is constantly moving.
    • Oftentimes I get an "oops an error occurred" message but it never actually explains what is going wrong.
    • Customer support can sometimes take a long time to respond making it challenging when faced with a platform question or capability I am not familiar with.

    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.

    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 sacrifice of the quality of data.
