The Skeptic

Weighted verdict

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.

Same scores as the panel view — this lens weights them the way this judge cares.

Form & survey building

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.

Report an error

The Skeptic

Branching, conditional visibility, question paths, piping, placeholders and participant attributes from an address book are documented, alongside multilingual questionnaires with a translation tool, custom colours, logos, typography and CSS options, templates, and surveys described as barrier-free and "orientiert an WCAG/BITV". We found no public information on calculations, scoring, randomisation or reusable question libraries, and the accessibility claim states orientation to the named standards rather than conformance to them — an advanced builder with roughly half of the top tier's items documented. 2 3 10 11

Distribution, response collection & workflows

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.

Report an error

The Skeptic

Documented distribution covers email, QR code, intranet, social media, print and point of sale, with an address book, an email editor, iFrame embedding of the questionnaire, a downloadable invitation letter as a PDF template, and API documentation. We found no public information on reminders, unique links per contact, submission notifications, file uploads, payments or signatures inside the form, connector services or webhooks — broad on channels, quiet on what happens to an answer once it arrives. 1 2 11 12 13

Survey analysis & reporting

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.

Report an error

The Skeptic

Charts and tables are produced automatically per question with up to ten chart types, results can be filtered by completion status, participant attributes and answer behaviour, with cross-tabulation, dropout analysis, group comparison and NPS, CSAT and Customer Effort Score, and exports reach Excel, Word, PowerPoint, HTML, CSV, SPSS, TXT and MatLab. We found no public information on significance testing, weighting, open-text or sentiment analysis, trend reports across survey waves, or audience-specific dashboards with permissions. 1 2 3 13 14

Hosting choice, teams & portability

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.

Report an error

The Skeptic

Hosting is Germany-only on the vendor's own servers on every plan rather than a paid region upgrade, with rights assignable per survey or area, team workspaces, white-labelling from the Platin plan, Enterprise single sign-on via Azure AD/Entra ID and ADFS, TOTP two-factor authentication, a selectable subdomain in some tariffs, and response exports to SPSS, Excel, CSV and more alongside API documentation. We found no public information on an audit log or user provisioning, and the custom address option is a subdomain rather than a full domain. 3 4 8 10 13 14

European sovereignty

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.

Report an error

The Skeptic

A German entity registered at Amtsgericht Charlottenburg, processing exclusively in Germany on own servers with an explicit claim of no US cloud services including no AWS Frankfurt, and subcontractors named with addresses and certifications — IONOS for backups, Mailbox.org and Strato for mail, all in Germany — plus ISO 27001/27017/27018, TISAX AL2, BSI webchecks and an automatically concluded, downloadable data processing agreement. The open ends are payments through Stripe Payments Europe in Ireland with possible US transfers under the Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses, an unnamed tax accountant for bookkeeping, and ownership visible only as the German general partner Lamas GmbH. 1 4 5 6 7 15

Pricing transparency

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.

Report an error

The Skeptic

Every paid plan is published with monthly and annual figures — Basic at "49 € / Monat" or "490 € / Jahr" up to Enterprise at "499 € / Monat" or "4990 € / Jahr" — with participant caps per survey, admin and user counts, feature lists per tier, VAT stated as "Alle Preise zzgl. MwSt.", a stated 17% saving in annual tariffs, a free tier limited to 50 participants, a 14-day trial, and even the exceptional-case custom processing agreement priced at "mindestens 6000 €". A buyer still cannot compute everything: we found no public information on per-response overage prices or the cost of users beyond the Enterprise bundle of one admin plus twenty users, which runs through an individual offer, and annual add-on contracts renew for a further year unless cancelled 24 hours before expiry. 3 8 9 15
