Read this page as one judge. Each weighs the same scores by what they care about.

The HR Lead

Weighted verdict

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.

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 HR Lead

The authoring side is research-grade: branching and skip logic built on boolean operators with custom variables, geolocation, email-list and device-type criteria, default logic and rule testing, plus text piping, randomisation, quota management, looping and quiz scoring. Conjoint, MaxDiff, Van Westendorp and Gabor-Granger question types, twenty-plus themes with custom CSS, logos and branded subdomains, and multilingual surveys with auto-translate (German among the default languages) cover everything an engagement survey needs. Section 508 accessibility compliance is stated, though we found no public information on versioned forms with change history or a published accessibility conformance report. 2 8 9 4 5

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 HR Lead

Distribution runs through email, social media, custom URLs, SMS, CATI telephone surveys and a mobile app, with kiosk mode on iPad and Android (PIN-protected, with page timers) for on-site collection, contact import with reminders, and a payment question type. Responses flow onward through Zapier, webhooks, custom scripting, an API and integrations such as Salesforce, Google Sheets and Tableau. We found no public information on unique invitation links, response quotas with closing rules, or routing of submissions for approval or assignment. 2 11 5 6

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 HR Lead

For the reports my managers read: cross-tabs with Pearson's chi-square, p-values, column proportion and Fisher's exact tests (the statistical options gated to the Research license), filters by question, response status and custom variable, plus trend, correlation, TURF and GAP analyses, weighting, NPS, and exports to Excel, PDF, PowerPoint and SPSS. Sentiment analysis tags open-text comments into themes with a bubble chart, drill-down and Excel export, charged per response in credits. We found no public information on dashboards scoped to different audiences with permissions, or on benchmark comparisons. 2 12 13

Consent, GDPR & respondent data

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.

Report an error

The HR Lead

The respondent-rights machinery is genuinely strong: a standard processor agreement for all customers, GDPR settings with a privacy-and-data-security link in every survey footer, respondents able to see the surveys they took, download their own data and request deletion at individual response level or across all responses, a named Privacy Compliance Officer, and all content deleted on termination. But my works council would stop at the anonymity question: the captured pages state IP addresses may be collected and are included in downloads, and we found no public information on an anonymous mode that drops IP addresses, on automatic retention periods (retention runs indefinitely while the account is active and paid), or on encryption of the responses themselves — the encryption statement we found covers order forms. 4 6 7 15

Report an error

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 HR Lead

EU servers are referenced with GDPR compliance on by default for accounts there, alongside region-specific data centers, SAML single sign-on, user roles and teams, system audit logs on the Research Edition, response exports in several formats through an API, and a 99.5% uptime commitment for Enterprise clients with a service-credit remedy. The terms prohibit removing the 'Powered by QuestionPro' footer. We found no public information on a self-hosted edition, user provisioning, granular per-form permissions, or an export of the forms themselves for migration. 2 4 7 17

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 HR Lead

The contracting entity is QuestionPro, Inc. of Beaverton, Oregon, governed by Washington state law, with the FTC overseeing its Data Privacy Framework commitments — no EU entity or representative appears on the captured pages. Processor agreements are said to exist with all data processors including cloud infrastructure, but none of the hosting infrastructure or subprocessors is named, and while EU servers are referenced the vendor's own pages do not confirm where a given account's responses sit. For a works-council review in Germany I cannot trace this chain end to end, even with ISO 27001 and Data Privacy Framework certification stated. 7 4 6 5

Report an error

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 HR Lead

Two paid plans are public with their limits — Advanced at $99 per user / per month Billed annually with 25,000 responses per year, Team Edition at $83 per user / per month Billed annually with 100,000 responses per year — next to a free tier of one user and 200 responses per survey, and the terms spell out auto-renewal, a 13.6% renewal repricing, 30-day non-renewal notice and non-refundable fees. Sentiment analysis is priced at 0.05 credits per response. The Research Edition — where the audit logs and statistical options live — is custom quote only, and we found no public information on VAT treatment, overage response prices or a plan comparison table. 3 7 13 2

Questions about QuestionPro

Is QuestionPro European?

No. whats-best.ai classifies QuestionPro as Rest of world.

Where does QuestionPro store data?

Not stated on the vendor’s pages as of 28 Oct 2026.

Does QuestionPro have a free plan?

Yes. QuestionPro has a free plan, per the vendor’s page captured 28 Oct 2026.

What are the best alternatives to QuestionPro?

As of 3 Nov 2026, the panel rates Formbricks (4/5), easyfeedback (3.5/5) and Netigate (3.5/5) highest among the other 19 Forms & Surveys products evaluated. Ratings that look equal are rounded to half stars; the order uses the unrounded rating, then the name. The highest-rated European alternative is Formbricks (EU-Made). Ratings are the AI panel’s opinion, formed from public evidence: how scores are made. The full list, with European products first: QuestionPro alternatives.

Where this could be wrong

Evidence ages. The oldest capture behind this page is from 28 Oct 2026. Vendors change pricing and policies without notice; every fact reflects its source as of the capture date shown in the registry.
Weak sourcing — Data processing agreement, Legal entity. Not confirmed on the vendor’s own pages as captured.
Weak sourcing — Hosting location. The EU region is confirmed to exist, but no excerpt states where the default hosting sits — the pricing page lists a "Global Data center" on lower tiers and "Regional Data centers" only on Team/Research plans, and the security page only names unnamed "SOC 2 Data Centers".
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.

What we left out
