    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).

    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.

    Chose Pollfish
    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 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.

    SurveyGizmo works extremely well as a platform for receiving survey responses. As a survey/business analytics tool, the platform offers extensive options for customization and deployment of professional questionnaires. Our team has found SurveyGizmo to be extremely well suited for the modern administrative employee. Surveys are relatively easy to create, deploy, and manage responses in real time. Furthermore, monitoring / managing the results enables businesses to provide any necessary follow-up based on key results. Our team spends quite a bit of time testing out survey tools and have found SurveyGizmo to be a solid option for the needs of our team. Furthermore, we have recommended the platform to other departments within our organization that have uniquely different skillsets from our own. Overall, we see SurveyGizmo as a tool that can be used across most organizational teams if implemented with the specific user-experience in mind.

    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
    Alchemer
    • Attaching images! Survey Gizmo makes attaching images from surveys a breeze. I've tried other popular survey tools and it can be difficult for users to submit images as part of their survey (e.g. some only allow 1 picture per question, whereas Survey Gizmo allows a range for you to select from)
    • Easy and intuitive survey building.
    • Pretty good out-of-the-box survey analysis.

    • 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
    Alchemer
    • Duplicate protection needs improvement. Anyone who would like to start a survey and finish at a later time is unable to which limits total survey responses.
    • Password protection option can be a challenge when uploading spreadsheets with pre-populated data.
    • Logic and piping options for questions can be difficult when designing more complicated and in-depth surveys, which requires a lot of testing.
    • Follow-up surveys do not provide an option for survey takers to review their previous survey responses, which may provide less accurate data when comparing individuals across multiple surveys.
    • Would like the option to link surveys together in order to more easily track data from individuals across multiple surveys and save previous survey data.

    • 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.

    The feature sets, agility, and flexibility remain approachable and incredibly powerful. Support is also very responsive and top notch. Overall, with a bit of basic foundational skills, there are seemingly an unlimited number of use cases for which Alchemer can be leveraged.

    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.

    Support Rating
    Alchemer
    Every once in awhile, it is necessary to solicit support. On those occasions, support is extremely responsive and supportive. It has been my experience that [if] they can't walk you through the desired endpoint, they will take a look at your build and remedy for you.

    I liked the interface for SurveyGizmo much more than Qualtrics. You knew a question was adjusted in SurveyGizmo and wouldn't change, but with Qualtric's interface, you had to refresh the account several times sometimes to ensure the question would work appropriately. Also, with SG, there were a lot of easier capabilities, such as changing missing values in bulk, required questions in bulk, etc.

    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.
