Tandem Surveys vs. Typeform

We conduct a monthly employee engagement survey and we use Tandem Surveys for this. It helps us in creating surveys instantly and in generating real time reports that we use in our monthly meetings to discuss and plan for actionable strategies. We also use it for market research when we are launching new products and services

Typeform is definitely a leader in the online survey space and that's for a reason. Between logic mapping and the ease of use for the end user, it's a solid app. The unfortunate thing, however, is the price tag--particularly considering the protection you receive from bots. Typeform only allows a certain number of responses at certain package levels, ie: the lowest level, you get a very limited number of responses but in order to receive more responses before your survey is locked, you must upgrade. This is what ultimately lead us to cancel with them. When you post a survey on Typeform, that survey is automatically posted publicly on their website--making it widely available to bots. Typeform offers no easy form of protection like a standardized captcha that you can add to the survey in order to filter bots out. Instead, there are several "work arounds" that they advise users to do that have very limited degrees of success. A quick online search shows that Typeform knows this is clearly an issue, yet they have yet to build in a bot-prevention feature. Since their plan prices vary by number of responses, it seems that they have no incentive to limit the amount of bots filling out surveys I believe. Ultimately, we canceled because, although the app is powerful, it just seemed like their business practices were unethical in my opinion.

• Creating survey is very easy with its drag and drop function
• Uploading respondents is very easy and seamless
• Reporting is amazing! We even use the exact reporting dashboard in our presentation
• Delivery method options are great, it helps us increase our response rate
• It has scheduling function, so we can schedule surveys every month without worrying about it

• The calculator tool allows you to use numerical formulas to create logic within your form for specific behavior.
• Compatible with modern web browsers for both building a form and publishing, allowing it to work and look good on any device.
• Integration with products like Zapier allow you to use it as part of a larger automation in your company.
• Visually pleasing designs with use of themes, images and video to match your branding.

• It is limited when it comes to integration, you can't integrate it with other apps

• The pricing structure is a little steep, especially for the Pro+ plan. It would be nice if they had an a la carte option because there are some features we are paying for that we will never use.
• When creating forms, sometimes the cursor will inexplicably leave the field you are typing in and leave you with incomplete sentences.
• Even though we are paying for our use, we still have the Typeform branding on our forms, which I think should be removed once you upgrade from the basic plan.

We have had such success with Typeform, and it has been able to exceed our expectations for the range of products it offers

Typeform takes a little bit of getting used to. Compared to Google Forms there are a lot more parts to the software and customizing the form isn't as intuitive. I have also found that embedding it into one smaller section of a webpage seamlessly can be a little tricky. But everything can be figured out eventually and the analytics are very good.

I haven't used the support portion of Typeform, as everything was quite easy to use. I have never encountered a situation where I did not know what to do or how to fix something myself. Typeform is very easy to adopt within any organization, no matter if you understand tech or not.

As compared to Google Forms, Tandem Survey is very customizable and professional-looking. When it comes to SurveyMonkey, it is more affordable and does the job well. Tandem Surveys basically has everything you can ask for an online survey that other platforms don't have. It is really good platform and we highly recommend it with other businesses

When looking for a feature rich & flexible / customizable solution, Typeform beats out everyone. However, for specific use cases (like NPS), AskNicely is a clear winner in terms of features, but is much too expensive. Typeform is also fun to use, especially compared to Wufoo which seems so out of date

• Using Tandem Surveys, it helped us to better understand our employees which increases our retention rate and reduces turn over which saves us a lot when it comes to recruitment and training new employees.

• Typeform has helped guide our Customer Success, Product, and Marketing teams in strategizing how to engage with customers better, and it has also given us a quick and easy way to do so! By collecting feedback and being able to share it across internal teams, we can coordinate our efforts to build our customers a better tool.
• Typeform has proved to be an elegant solution to one of our earlier vexing problems (previous survey tools that looked annoying, had extremely limited branding options/were not customizable, and didn't integrate well with the rest of our tool set) while not breaking the bank for us - it's a very reasonable price point and does WAY more than the previous tools we were paying just as much for.
