The panel's verdict
involve.me, operated by stereosense GmbH of Vienna, builds quizzes, calculators and surveys with a built-in CRM and email automation. Scores cluster at 6 to 7 on form building, collection and workflows, consent and data protection, and sovereignty, with hosting and administration at 5 to 6. Collection stands out: submissions carry Stripe, PayPal or Square payments, sync through 50+ native integrations, Zapier and webhooks, and Opt-In Checkbox consent answers travel with each response into analytics and XLS exports under a downloadable DPA. On sovereignty, the privacy policy states data is primarily processed and stored in the EU, with SCCs and transfer impact assessments, but the captured pages name only two subprocessors and leave the hosting provider unnamed. Pricing transparency is the weakest score at 4: "Paid from $29/month annual" is public, and we found no figures for the Start, Grow and Scale plans. Analysis and reporting carries the widest spread, 4 to 6: the operations manager found the funnel metrics sufficient, while the market researcher and academic researcher found no public information on cross-tabulation, significance testing or SPSS/R exports.
Speaks for it
- Payment checkout with Stripe, PayPal or Square runs inside the form flow, alongside 50+ native integrations, Zapier and webhooks.
- A downloadable DPA and an Opt-In Checkbox, required by default, whose consent answers appear in each detailed response and the XLS funnel report.
- The privacy policy states data is primarily processed and stored in the EU, with SCCs, transfer impact assessments and 72-hour breach reporting to the Austrian Data Protection Authority.
- A drag-and-drop editor with 50+ elements and 55+ templates, a formula builder with VLOOKUP and nested IF/THEN, and an AI agent that drafts a funnel from a prompt.
- A free tier with no credit card required, and help pages that state plainly which feature sits on which plan.
Held against it
- We found no public prices for the Start, Grow and Scale plans, or for their submission and email limits, beyond 'Paid from $29/month annual'.
- The published analytics cover funnel metrics — visits, submissions, completion rate, drop-off, device and country breakdowns — and we found no public information on cross-tabulation, significance testing or SPSS/R exports.
- Per-question drop-off detail and device and country breakdowns sit behind the Scale plan.
- SAML2 single sign-on is documented only on a bespoke Enterprise plan that also requires vendor-side enablement, and custom-domain pages remain hosted on the vendor's servers.
- Only two subprocessors are named — Stripe in the United States and Reditus in the Netherlands — and we found no public information on the hosting provider or email-delivery providers.
Best for
- You run lead-generation funnels — quizzes, calculators, assessments — and want payment checkout and CRM sync inside the same flow.
- You collect consent per respondent and want a downloadable DPA with consent answers stored on each response.
- You prefer an operator in Vienna whose privacy policy states primary processing and storage in the EU, with SCCs and transfer impact assessments for transfers outside it.
- You want to try the builder before paying; the free tier requires no credit card.
Avoid if
- You must budget a full year before buying; only 'Paid from $29/month annual' and the custom-domain add-on at $10/€9 per month or $100/€90 per year are public.
- Your reporting depends on cross-tabulation, significance testing or SPSS/R exports; the published analytics cover funnel metrics such as visits, completion rate and drop-off.
- You need single sign-on or pages hosted on your own servers; SSO is documented only on a bespoke Enterprise plan, and custom-domain pages stay on the vendor's servers.
- You need per-question drop-off and device breakdowns on an entry plan; detailed metrics sit on Scale.

Form & survey building
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
What can be built without code: question and field types, conditional logic and branching, piping and hidden fields, calculations, multi-page forms and progress, templates, design and branding, multiple languages, and accessible output for respondents.
0 — Not a form or survey builder; questions cannot be authored in the product.
3 — A builder with the common question types and a few templates; logic, branding or languages are basic or not described.
5 — A drag-and-drop builder with a wide range of question types, conditional logic that shows, hides or skips questions, multi-page forms, a template library, and the customer's logo, colours and fonts.
8 — Advanced logic with piping, hidden fields, calculations and scoring, randomisation, surveys translated into several languages from one master, reusable question libraries, custom CSS or themes, and accessible forms with a named standard (WCAG 2.1 AA or BITV) stated.
10 — Best-in-class authoring: complex research designs (loops, quotas in logic, conjoint or MaxDiff), versioned forms with change history, a published accessibility conformance report, and every element of a form available through the API.
The Market Researcher
A drag-and-drop editor with more than fifty elements, fifty-five plus templates, conditional outcome pages, a formula builder with VLOOKUP and nested IF/THEN, hidden fields carried through the embed code, and full control of fonts, colours and logo would cover my questionnaire design comfortably, and an AI agent drafts the whole funnel from a prompt. We found no public information on multi-language surveys from one master, reusable question libraries, custom CSS or any named accessibility standard, which keeps this below the advanced authoring level my four-language waves need. 1 5 6 7
The Operations Manager
This is the kind of builder a non-IT colleague could run: the AI Agent generates the step flow, fields, logic, copy and design from a prompt, and the drag-and-drop editor offers 50-plus elements across 55-plus templates, with the customer's logo, fonts and colours. Conditional outcome pages, a formula builder with VLOOKUP and nested IF/THEN, hidden fields for UTM parameters and score-based outcomes take it well beyond basic branching. We found no public information on multilingual forms, custom CSS or a stated accessibility standard. 1 5 6 7 8
The HR Lead
A drag-and-drop editor with 50+ elements, a formula builder with VLOOKUP, nested conditions and multi-variable math, conditional outcome pages, score-based results, hidden fields and randomised A/B splitting between paths covers most of what an engagement questionnaire needs. We found no public information on multi-language surveys from one master, a stated accessibility standard, custom CSS or reusable question libraries, so I cannot place the authoring environment higher. 1 5 6 8
The Academic Researcher
A drag-and-drop editor with more than fifty elements, 55+ templates, conditional outcome pages, a formula builder with nested IF/THEN and VLOOKUP, hidden fields carried through embed parameters, and randomly split A/B paths covers most of what a questionnaire needs, and the Opt-In Checkbox element can double as an in-instrument consent page. I found no public information on surveys in several languages from one master, a stated accessibility standard, reusable question libraries or custom CSS, so it stops short of research-grade authoring. 1 5 6 7 8 12
The Data Protection Officer
A drag-and-drop editor with more than fifty elements, a template library, custom fonts, colours and logo, hidden fields, and a formula builder with VLOOKUP, nested conditions and multi-variable math cover advanced authoring, and the AI agent drafts the step flow, logic, copy and design from a description. I found no public information on surveys translated from one master, custom CSS, reusable question libraries, or a stated accessibility standard, which is what the top levels ask for. 1 2 5 6
The Skeptic
A genuine drag-and-drop builder: 50+ elements, 55+ templates, conditional outcome pages, a formula builder with nested IF/THEN and VLOOKUP, score-based outcomes, and the customer's logo, fonts and colours. We found no public information on multilingual surveys from one master, reusable question libraries, custom CSS, or any named accessibility standard for respondents, which keeps this short of the top tiers. 1 2 5 6
Distribution, response collection & workflows
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
How forms reach people and what happens to an answer: share links, embedding, QR codes, email invitations with reminders, contact lists and panels, offline or kiosk collection, file uploads, payments and signatures inside the form, notifications, approval or assignment of submissions, and automations that pass a response on to other tools.
0 — No way to collect responses from other people; the product only analyses data collected elsewhere.
3 — A share link and an embed code, with responses visible in the product; invitations, notifications and onward workflows are basic or not described.
5 — Links, embedding and QR codes, email notifications on submission, file uploads, a few native integrations (spreadsheets, CRM, chat) plus a connector service such as Zapier or Make, and either email invitations with reminders or payments inside the form.
8 — Invitations to managed contact lists with reminders and unique links, response quotas and closing rules, offline or kiosk collection, submissions routed for approval or assignment, conditional notifications, documented webhooks and a REST API to read and write responses.
10 — Collection at research and process scale: panel or sample sourcing, multi-channel distribution (email, SMS, web, app intercept) with deduplication, workflows with branching and audit trail, and every response event exposed to the customer's systems in real time with a stated delivery guarantee.
The Market Researcher
Distribution and follow-up are the strongest part: share links, short URLs with QR codes, inline, full-size and popup embeds for WordPress, Webflow, Wix and more, invite by email from the Start plan, payments through Stripe, PayPal or Square, and a workflow engine with triggers, wait steps, branching on answers, scores and email engagement, A/B splits, and fifty-plus native integrations plus Zapier and webhooks. We found no public information on reminder emails to invitees, unique per-respondent links, response quotas or closing rules, or a REST API to pull responses into my tabulation stack, so a quota-managed panel wave is hard to run cleanly. 5 7 8 10 11
The Operations Manager
A submission can land exactly where my people need it: share links, short URLs and QR codes, three embed types, payment checkout with Stripe, PayPal or Square in the same flow, internal notification emails to up to five recipients with custom subject and body, and 50-plus native integrations including HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive and Google Sheets, plus Zapier and webhooks. Workflows trigger on completed submissions or payments and branch on answers, scores, tags and email engagement, with assignee changes, wait steps and scheduled runs. We found no public information on respondent file-upload fields, response quotas and closing rules, offline or kiosk collection, or a REST API. 5 6 7 8 11
The HR Lead
Links, QR codes, three embed modes and email invitations are documented, and behind every submission sits a genuine workflow engine: six trigger types, branching on answers, scores, tags and opt-in status, wait steps, assignment changes, internal notifications with up to five recipients, plus 50+ native integrations, Zapier, webhooks and payments inside the flow. We found no public information on response quotas or closing rules, offline or kiosk collection, or a documented API to read and write responses, which holds it below the top band. 5 7 8 11 14
The Academic Researcher
Distribution and onward processing are genuinely strong: share links, embedding and QR codes, email invitations from the Start plan, in-form payments, file attachments, 50+ native integrations plus Zapier and webhooks, and a workflow engine with six triggers, branching on answers and scores, waits, assignments and random splits. I found no public information on unique one-time links with reminders, response quotas or closing rules, offline or kiosk collection, or a REST API to read responses. 5 7 8 11
The Data Protection Officer
Distribution is well covered: share links, short URLs and QR codes, embedding on WordPress, Webflow, Shopify and others, payments through Stripe, PayPal or Square inside the funnel, and invitations by email from the Start plan. The workflow engine with six triggers, branching on answers, scores and outcomes, assignment of contacts, conditional internal notifications and documented webhooks goes well past the basics. I found no public information on a REST API to read and write responses, response quotas, closing rules or offline collection. 5 6 7 8 11
The Skeptic
Links, QR codes, inline/pop-up/full-size embeds, payments inside the flow via Stripe, PayPal and Square, internal email notifications, invitations from the built-in CRM, webhooks and 50+ native integrations plus Zapier, and a real automation engine — six triggers, branching on answers, scores and email engagement, waits, A/B splits, execution monitoring. We found no public information on respondent file uploads, unique reminder links, response quotas or closing rules, offline or kiosk collection, or a REST API to read and write responses. 5 6 7 8 11
Survey analysis & reporting
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
What the product does with the answers: live results and charts, filters and segments, cross-tabulation, NPS, CSAT and other standard scores, open-text and sentiment analysis, shareable dashboards and reports, and exports to the formats analysts use (CSV, Excel, SPSS, R).
0 — No view of results inside the product; submissions can only be forwarded or downloaded one at a time.
3 — A table of responses with simple charts per question and a CSV export; filters, comparisons and report sharing are basic or not described.
5 — Charts per question, filters and segments, at least one comparison or cross-tab view, standard scores such as NPS, shareable or exportable reports (PDF, presentation), and exports to CSV and Excel.
8 — Cross-tabulation with significance testing, weighting, open-text coding or sentiment analysis, trend reports across survey waves, dashboards for different audiences with permissions, and SPSS or R exports with labels.
10 — A research-grade analysis environment: statistical models beyond cross-tabs (driver analysis, regression), benchmarks, text analytics with themes the customer can edit, and every analysis reproducible from documented exports or an analytics API.
The Market Researcher
Inside the product I get summary metrics (visits, submissions, completion rate, average score, a 30-day trend), per-question drop-off plus device and country breakdowns on the Scale plan, saved segments with AND/OR filters, and AI reports that summarize collected responses including open-ended answers, which is genuinely useful before a board meeting. We found no public information on cross-tabulation, NPS or other standard scores, significance testing, weighting, shareable dashboards or SPSS/R exports, so my cross-tabs would still happen in a spreadsheet after the XLS export. 6 9 10
The Operations Manager
The analytics view covers my operational needs: visits, submissions, completion rate and average score with a 30-day trend, drop-off analysis with per-question, device and country breakdowns, saved segments with stacked AND/OR filters, payment status per submission, and XLS/CSV export, while AI Reports summarise open-ended answers so nobody counts them by hand. We found no public information on cross-tabulation, NPS or other standard scores, shareable report formats or SPSS/R exports, and the detailed metrics sit behind the Scale plan. 6 9 10
The HR Lead
The analytics offer summary metrics with a 30-day trend, per-question drop-off, device and country breakdowns, deletion of individual responses, and CSV or XLS exports, with auto-updating segments and stacked AND/OR filters over contacts; AI reports summarise open-ended answers so nobody counts them by hand. We found no public information on cross-tabulation or comparison views, NPS or similar standard scores, shareable PDF reports or exports beyond CSV and Excel — and no public information on hiding results below a minimum group size, which is the first demand my works council would make. 6 9 10
The Academic Researcher
The analytics give visits, submissions, completion rate, average score, a 30-day trend, drop-off and device and country breakdowns, saved segments with stacked AND/OR filters, and XLS and CSV exports — with the detailed metrics gated to the top Scale plan. For a research workflow this is the weak spot: I found no public information on cross-tabulation with significance testing, weighting, shareable report dashboards, or SPSS and R exports with labels, and open-text handling appears as AI-generated summaries of open-ended answers. 6 9 10
The Data Protection Officer
Analytics shows summary metrics with a thirty-day trend, drop-off points with per-question and device and country breakdowns on the Scale plan, contact filters with AND/OR logic and saved segments that update on their own, AI summaries of open-ended answers, and export to XLS and CSV. I found no public information on cross-tabulation with significance testing, standard scores such as NPS, shareable dashboards or analyst formats like SPSS or R. 6 9 10
The Skeptic
What we see is funnel analytics: summary metrics with a 30-day trend, drop-off and per-question drop-off views, device and country breakdowns, date-range filters, saved segments with AND/OR logic, XLS and CSV export, and AI summaries of open-ended answers. We found no public information on cross-tabulation, NPS or CSAT scoring, significance testing, shareable PDF reports or SPSS/R exports — and the drop-off detail sits behind the Scale plan. 9 10
Consent, GDPR & respondent data
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
What the product gives the customer to collect personal data lawfully: consent and privacy-notice fields, anonymous surveys that really drop IP addresses and identifiers, retention periods and automatic deletion, handling of access and erasure requests, encryption of responses, a data processing agreement, and controls over cookies and tracking on the form itself.
0 — The product collects no personal data from respondents, so there is nothing to protect; or it is a different kind of product.
3 — A privacy policy and a statement of GDPR compliance, with a checkbox field usable for consent; anonymity, retention and deletion are not described.
5 — A data processing agreement offered to customers, a consent or privacy-notice field, an anonymous mode that does not store IP addresses, responses deletable by the customer, and encryption in transit and at rest stated.
8 — Retention periods with automatic deletion, tools for access and erasure requests per respondent, field-level encryption or masking of sensitive answers, forms that set no tracking cookies by default, a published list of technical and organisational measures, and a named data protection officer.
10 — Data protection by design and evidenced: end-to-end or customer-key encryption of responses, documented data minimisation defaults, a DPA with audit rights and subprocessor change notice, records of consent kept with each response, and an independent audit of the privacy controls published.
The Market Researcher
Well covered for respondent data: a downloadable data processing agreement with EU-wide GDPR scope, an Opt-In Checkbox element that links to the privacy policy and whose answers appear in every detailed response and the XLS funnel report, encryption in transit and at rest, deletion within 30 days of a request, automatic retention that is 30 days on free plans and indefinite on paid with configurable periods from the Scale plan, and personal data filtered out of AI analysis by default. We found no public information on an anonymous mode that drops IP addresses, field-level encryption, tracking-cookie controls on the form itself, or a named data protection officer. 3 4 9 11 12
The Operations Manager
The compliance kit is real and downloadable: a DPA, TLS and at-rest encryption, SOC 2 Type II, a published Trust Center list of measures, deletion within 30 days of a request, and an Opt-In Checkbox whose consent answer is stored with each response and appears in the XLS funnel report. Retention is set per organisation and configurable on the Scale plan, and AI features filter personal data out by default. We found no public information on an anonymous mode that drops IP addresses, field-level encryption or masking, or a named data protection officer. 3 4 9 11 12
The HR Lead
The strongest area: a downloadable data processing agreement, TLS and at-rest encryption, an opt-in checkbox whose consent answers travel with each response, automatic deletion on a configurable retention period from the Scale plan upward with a 30-day default on free, deletion of individual responses, a Trust Center with documented measures, 72-hour breach reporting to the Austrian authority, and AI features that filter personal data by default. We found no public information on an anonymous mode that drops IP addresses or identifiers, a named data protection officer, or tracking cookies on the form itself — for a survey the works council reads, those are the first questions I would be asked. 3 4 9 11 12
The Academic Researcher
This is among the stronger areas for my ethics board: a downloadable DPA, an Opt-In Checkbox that is required by default, can link to the privacy policy, and whose answer travels with each response into the analytics and the XLS report — effectively a consent record per participant — plus TLS and at-rest encryption, automatic deletion after 30 days on the free plan with configurable retention on Scale, deletion within 30 days on request, SCCs with transfer impact assessments, and personal data filtered out of AI features by default. I found no public information on a truly anonymous mode that drops IP addresses, field-level encryption, cookie defaults on the form itself, or a named data protection officer. 3 4 9 11 12
The Data Protection Officer
This is where the paperwork is strongest: a downloadable data processing agreement, an opt-in checkbox that links to the privacy policy and keeps consent answers with each response in analytics and exports, automatic deletion under a retention period the customer sets on the Scale plan and higher, deletion of individual responses on demand, encryption in transit and at rest, and a Trust Center listing the measures alongside SOC 2 Type II. What I still want before signing is an anonymous mode that does not store IP addresses — I found no public information on that, nor on field-level masking or a named data protection officer. 3 4 9 11 12
The Skeptic
The paperwork is concrete: a downloadable data processing agreement, an opt-in checkbox that links to the privacy policy and is required by default, opt-in answers kept with each response, automatic deletion after 30 days on the free tier and configurable retention from Scale, deletion requests honoured within 30 days, encryption in transit and at rest, SCCs and transfer impact assessments, and a published Trust Center list of measures. We found no public information on an anonymous mode that drops IP addresses, on cookies the forms set themselves, or on a named data protection officer — and workflow emails track opens and clicks automatically. 3 4 9 11 12
Hosting choice, teams & portability
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
What the customer may choose about where and how the product runs and who uses it: a selectable data region or EU-only hosting, self-hosting or an on-premise edition, team workspaces with roles and permissions, single sign-on, an audit log, custom domains and white-labelling, and a complete export of forms and responses that another tool can import.
0 — A single-user tool with no export of forms or responses.
3 — Shared access for a team and a response export; data location, roles and single sign-on are not described.
5 — Hosting location stated with an EU option, team workspaces with at least two roles, single sign-on on a higher plan, a custom domain or removed vendor branding, and an export of all responses.
8 — EU-only hosting selectable per account or a self-hosted edition, granular roles per form or folder, SSO with SAML and user provisioning, an audit log, white-labelling, and forms and responses exportable in a documented format with an API.
10 — Full control over operation: an open-source or on-premise edition with feature parity, customer-chosen region per workspace, administrative APIs, a documented migration path in and out, and an uptime commitment with a published status history.
The Market Researcher
The captured pages state data is primarily processed and stored in the European Union, custom domains with SSL run from the Grow plan (with pages still hosted on the vendor's servers), the vendor footer is removable from Grow, responses export to XLS and CSV, and SAML2 single sign-on with just-in-time account creation exists on a bespoke Enterprise contract that also needs support-side enablement. We found no public information on selectable EU-only hosting per account, self-hosting, role granularity per form or folder, or an audit log, which leaves my research team's governance thin. 3 8 9 13 14
The Operations Manager
Data is processed primarily in the EU and responses export to XLS or CSV on paid plans, the vendor footer comes off from the Grow plan, a custom subdomain with SSL is supported (with pages still hosted on the vendor's servers), and SAML2 single sign-on with domain enforcement exists on a bespoke Enterprise contract. We found no public information on per-form role permissions, an audit log, self-hosting, or an export of the form definitions themselves. 3 8 9 13 14
The HR Lead
Data is stated to be processed and stored primarily in the European Union with the core infrastructure there, single sign-on exists as enforced SAML2 with just-in-time account creation, though only on a bespoke Enterprise contract, and custom subdomains with SSL and footer removal are available from Grow upward, with responses exportable to CSV and XLS. We found no public information on an audit log, granular roles per form or folder, a documented API, or an export of the forms themselves, and the pages state that custom-domain pages stay hosted on the vendor's servers. 3 8 9 13 14
The Academic Researcher
The privacy policy states data is primarily processed and stored within the EU, custom domains with SSL plus footer removal give white-labelling from Grow upward, organizations carry team members and assignees, responses export to XLS and CSV, and SAML2 single sign-on with domain enforcement and just-in-time account creation exists — but only on a bespoke Enterprise plan requiring vendor-side enablement. All pages stay hosted on the vendor's servers with nothing published to the customer's own, and I found no public information on a selectable data region, an audit log, granular per-form roles, or an API-based export of the forms themselves. 3 8 13 14
The Data Protection Officer
Data is stored primarily in the European Union with the core infrastructure there, SAML2 single sign-on can be enforced across the company domain but only on a bespoke Enterprise contract, custom domains with SSL arrive on the Grow plan, the vendor footer is removable from Grow, and responses export to XLS or CSV on paid plans. Workspaces with an admin who manually assigns members are described, but I found no public information on granular per-form role permissions, an audit log, a self-hosted edition, or a selectable hosting region per account — and keeping responses away from people who do not need them is exactly what I look for. 3 8 9 13 14
The Skeptic

European sovereignty
panel opinion
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Who the contracting entity and the parent company are, where forms and responses are hosted, and who the subprocessors are (hosting, email delivery, payment providers, analytics, AI features). Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline; responses often carry personal and sometimes special-category data, so the whole chain counts, not only the database.
0 — Non-EU vendor and contracting entity, hosting unstated, subprocessors unnamed, and no data processing agreement offered.
3 — A privacy policy and a data processing agreement exist, but hosting location is unstated or non-EU and the subprocessors are not listed.
5 — EU hosting available and an EU contracting entity or EU representative, but parts of the chain (email, analytics, AI features, support) run through non-EU providers without a stated safeguard.
8 — EU hosting on named infrastructure, EU contracting entity, subprocessors listed with their locations, a data processing agreement published, and security certifications (ISO 27001, SOC 2) stated.
10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: European ownership, entity, hosting and every subprocessor, data export and deletion documented, and certifications published with their scope rather than implied.
The Market Researcher
The contracting entity is stereosense GmbH of Vienna, registered at the Vienna commercial court with register number FN 461219p, data is stated to be primarily processed and stored in the European Union, a data processing agreement is published, SOC 2 Type II is stated, and transfers outside the EU carry Standard Contractual Clauses and Transfer Impact Assessments. Only two subprocessors are named with locations, Stripe in the United States for payments and Reditus B.V. in the Netherlands for affiliate tracking, and we found no public information on the hosting infrastructure provider, email delivery or AI providers, so the chain is only partially evidenced end to end. 2 3 4 7
The Operations Manager
The contracting entity is stereosense GmbH of Vienna with an Austrian register number and VAT ID, data is primarily processed and stored in the EU, the DPA is published, SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliance are stated, and subprocessors are named with locations for payments (Stripe, United States) and affiliate tracking (Reditus B.V., Netherlands), with SCCs and transfer impact assessments for transfers outside the EU. We found no public information naming the hosting infrastructure provider or the email-delivery and analytics providers, so the chain is documented only in part. 2 3 4 12
The HR Lead
The contracting entity is stereosense GmbH of Vienna with a commercial register number, the core infrastructure is stated to sit in the European Union, the data processing agreement is published, SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliance are stated, and two subprocessors are named with locations — Stripe in the United States and Reditus in the Netherlands — with Standard Contractual Clauses and transfer impact assessments for transfers outside the EU. We found no public information naming the hosting infrastructure provider or further subprocessors such as email delivery or analytics, and the certifications are stated without their scope, so the chain is not evidenced end to end. 2 3 4 12
The Academic Researcher
The operator is stereosense GmbH of Vienna with a commercial register number and Austrian VAT ID, the core infrastructure is stated to sit in the EU, breaches go to the Austrian data protection authority within 72 hours, the DPA is published, SCCs and transfer impact assessments are in place, and a SOC 2 Type II audit is claimed. The captured pages name only Stripe in the United States and Reditus in the Netherlands as subprocessors, the underlying hosting provider is not named, and there is no complete list covering email delivery or AI features, so the chain is not evidenced end to end. 2 3 4
The Data Protection Officer
The contracting entity is stereosense GmbH of Vienna with an Austrian register number, hosting is stated as primarily within the EU, a data processing agreement is published, transfers outside the EU carry standard contractual clauses and transfer impact assessments, and SOC 2 Type II is stated. Only two subprocessors are named with their places — Stripe in the United States for payments and Reditus in the Netherlands for affiliate tracking — and I found no public information on the named hosting infrastructure or a complete subprocessor list, so the chain is only partly visible. 2 3 4
The Skeptic
The chain starts and mostly stays European: an Austrian GmbH in Vienna with commercial register number and VAT ID, primary hosting in the EU, a published data processing agreement, SOC 2 Type II, breach notification to the Austrian data protection authority within 72 hours, and SCCs with transfer impact assessments for anything leaving the EU. The hosting infrastructure itself goes unnamed, and the captured pages name only two subprocessors — Stripe in the United States for payments, Reditus in the Netherlands for referrals — with no public information on the email delivery, tracking or support providers. 2 3 4 14
Pricing transparency
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Whether a buyer can compute the real annual cost from public pages alone: price per plan and per user, response or submission limits and what happens above them, which features (logic, branding removal, SSO, EU hosting, analysis modules) need a higher plan, add-ons, minimum term and the free tier's limits.
0 — No public prices at all; every customer is a sales call.
3 — A starting price or a free tier exists, but how cost scales with users, responses or features is unclear.
5 — Plans are public with prices and their main limits (users, responses, forms), but at least one commonly needed piece (SSO, EU hosting, extra responses, branding removal) is unpriced or "on request".
8 — Every plan priced publicly with its limits, overage or extra-response prices, feature differences per plan in a comparison table, billing period, VAT treatment and cancellation terms stated.
10 — Complete price computability: annual cost derivable for a given number of users, responses and features, with every add-on, enterprise option, support level and data-return term published.
The Market Researcher
A free tier without credit card and a published starting price of 'Paid from $29/month annual' exist, and the help pages map features onto the plan ladder: exports, integrations and invite-by-email on paid plans, footer removal and custom domains from Grow with the domain add-on priced exactly at $10/€9 per month or $100/€90 per year, detailed metrics and partial-submission views on Scale, and single sign-on only on a bespoke Enterprise plan. We found no public information on the individual prices of the Start, Grow and Scale plans, per-plan response or email limits beyond a plan-dependent monthly email limit, VAT treatment or cancellation terms, so I cannot compute a year's budget for my three waves from public pages alone. 1 7 8 9 13 14
The Operations Manager
A free tier with no credit card required and a stated 'Paid from $29/month annual' entry point are public, and the plan walls are visible in the help pages — footer removal from Grow, custom domains from Grow with each extra domain at $10/€9 per month or $100/€90 per year, detailed metrics and partial submissions on Scale, single sign-on only on a bespoke Enterprise plan. We found no public information on the Grow and Scale plan prices, the monthly email-limit quantities, or response and submission limits, so an annual total beyond the entry plan is not computable from the captured pages. 1 8 12 13 14
The HR Lead
A free tier without credit card and a published entry price of $29/month annual exist, and the help pages are unusually frank about feature placement: footer removal from Grow, detailed metrics and configurable retention on Scale, integrations only on paid plans, exports excluded from free, and custom domain add-ons at $10/€9 per month or $100/€90 per year. The individual prices for Start, Grow and Scale, per-user costs, the plan-dependent email limits, VAT treatment and everything about the Enterprise SSO plan are not published, so I could not compute what a year of surveying six hundred employees would cost. 8 9 11 12 13 14
The Academic Researcher
A free tier without credit card and a paid entry point of "$29/month annual" are public, the help pages map many gates — exports from Start, footer removal and custom domains from Grow, detailed metrics and configurable retention from Scale, single sign-on only on a bespoke Enterprise contract — and the custom-domain add-on is priced exactly at "$10/€9 per month or $100/€90 per year". I found no public information on the individual prices of the Start, Grow and Scale plans, the plan-dependent email limits, overage pricing, VAT treatment or cancellation terms, so a faculty cannot compute its real annual cost from these pages alone. 1 8 9 12 13 14
The Data Protection Officer
The free tier without a credit card, the starting price of $29/month with annual billing, exact custom-domain add-on prices of $10/€9 per month or $100/€90 per year, and a clear plan ladder of Free, Start, Grow and Scale with many features mapped to tiers are all published. I found no public information on the individual prices of the Grow and Scale plans, response or submission limits, or what happens when a plan-dependent email limit is reached, so a buyer cannot yet compute the real annual cost. 1 8 9 12 13
The Skeptic
A free tier without credit card and "paid from $29/month annual" are public, and the help centre is unusually frank about which feature sits on which plan — footer removal from Grow, detailed metrics and partial submissions on Scale, custom-domain add-ons at $10/€9 per month or $100/€90 per year. But the captured pages show only the starting price: we found no public figures for the Start, Grow and Scale plans themselves, for submission or response limits, for the plan-dependent email limits, or for the Enterprise tier with single sign-on, so a buyer cannot compute a real annual cost. 1 8 9 12 13 14

Where this could be wrong
- Evidence ages. The oldest capture behind this page is from 3 Nov 2026. Vendors change pricing and policies without notice; every fact reflects its source as of the capture date shown in the registry.
- Weak sourcing — Hosting location, Legal entity, Data processing agreement. Not confirmed on the vendor’s own pages as captured.
- AI can misread a source. Extraction and judgement are automated; a citation guarantees traceability, not infallibility. If something here is wrong, say so — no account needed, every report is decided within 5 business days, and accepted corrections are published.
