## 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.

## Scores by judge and criterion

Scores out of 5, each judge scoring independently against the published rubric (v1). "n/r" = not rated: the vendor publishes no price, or the judge found no public information on that criterion.

| Criterion | The Market Researcher | The Operations Manager | The HR Lead | The Academic Researcher | The Data Protection Officer | The Skeptic |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Form & survey building | 3/5 | 3.5/5 | 3/5 | 3/5 | 3/5 | 3/5 |
| Distribution, response collection & workflows | 3/5 | 3.5/5 | 3.5/5 | 3/5 | 3.5/5 | 3/5 |
| Survey analysis & reporting | 2/5 | 3/5 | 2.5/5 | 2.5/5 | 2/5 | 2/5 |
| Consent, GDPR & respondent data | 3/5 | 3.5/5 | 3/5 | 3.5/5 | 3.5/5 | 3/5 |
| Hosting choice, teams & portability | 3/5 | 3/5 | 3/5 | 3/5 | 2.5/5 | 3/5 |
| European sovereignty | 3.5/5 | 3.5/5 | 3.5/5 | 3.5/5 | 3/5 | 3.5/5 |
| Pricing transparency | 2/5 | 2/5 | 2/5 | 2/5 | 2/5 | 2/5 |
| **Weighted verdict** | **2.5/5** | **3/5** | **3/5** | **3/5** | **3/5** | **3/5** |

### The judges

- **The Market Researcher** (v1.0): Runs customer and brand studies for a mid-sized consumer-goods company, three waves a year in four languages. Wants logic and quotas that keep the sample clean, invitations with reminders, cross-tabs and NPS without exporting to a spreadsheet first, and open answers grouped into themes before the board meeting.
- **The Operations Manager** (v1.0): Replaces paper and PDF forms at a service company: event registrations, supplier onboarding, damage reports with photos, order requests with a payment. Wants forms a colleague can build without IT, file uploads, a submission that lands in the right inbox and the CRM or spreadsheet without copy and paste, and a price that does not jump when the response count does.
- **The HR Lead** (v1.0): Runs the yearly engagement survey and pulse checks for a German company of six hundred, with the works council reading every question. Wants anonymity that is real and stated, results hidden below a minimum group size, reports per department that managers can read, and answers that are deleted when the agreement with the works council says so.
- **The Academic Researcher** (v1.0): Runs questionnaire studies at a European university and has to satisfy the ethics board before the first respondent sees a question. Wants complex branching, randomisation and validated scales, an informed-consent page that is part of the instrument, exports to SPSS and R with labels intact, and a licence the faculty can host or at least keep in the EU.
- **The Data Protection Officer** (v1.0): Signs off every form tool a department wants to use and has found health data in a feedback form before. Wants a data processing agreement and a subprocessor list on the vendor's own pages, consent fields and an anonymous mode that drops IP addresses, retention periods that delete on their own, EU hosting the customer can choose, and roles that keep responses away from people who do not need them.
- **The Skeptic** (v1.0): Has seen a "free form builder" put its logo on every customer survey and charge per response the month the campaign worked. Reads "GDPR compliant" with no data processing agreement behind it, "anonymous" surveys that still log IP addresses, "EU hosting" on the enterprise plan only, and AI analysis features with no word on where the answers go — and asks whether the responses can leave with the customer.
