Just a quote. For the last couple of weeks we have evaluated nearly 20 different EFM solutions (Survey Solutions) and I have to mention, that Survs by far is the most innovative solution. Well done!
It would be very useful, if the final distribution option could include parametres as to e.g. “Window size”, “Drop browser navigation” etc. Furthermore a “Private policy” link with text option could be of interest.
There has been a lot of blog as to number of responses vs. fee. As to the evaluation of other Survey Solutions it seems that Survs are VERY competitive – no. of responses, functionality vs. price. They have to get some outcome as to the development of this – for now – very innovative package.

Hi Guys,
Have used survs for the first time today to create a survey for a local non-for profit group. The ease of use and presentation is fantastic. However I’m inclined to agree with previous comments about price/subscription etc. We don’t get many requests for surveys so a monthly subscription is not an option and 100 responses from the free plan isn’t great. Perhaps (like already suggested) 1000 responses with survs logo or a small cost for 1 user and 1000 responses could be considered. That’d be great for my needs.

I’ve seen a couple of mentions for pay per surv idea. I’m involved in surveying in both a professional and voluntary capacity. In neither of these, do I use a survey tool regularly enough to merit a monthly subscription, but on occasion the number of respondents will be in a couple of thousand. In actual fact for the voluntary work I do, the monthly subscription can prove a turn off but the free versions don’t quite meet requirements. As it is I’m giving my time to design and carry out a survey as well as analyse and report – I can be out of pocket as well. Volunteering and community activity is becoming increasingly important and as a movement we’re getting much smarter at using such technology.

In my humble opinion, providing a service that could be used on a pay per use would provide a completely flexible solution to a greater customer base and coupled with your simplicity and clarity of use, would mean that Survs has potential to become the leader of the pack.

Well, I must agree that the “free plan” should be a bit more generous because I think 100 answers could be a little bit “incomprehensible”. I think that number should be well increased.
About Survs itself… well, keep up the EXCELLENT work ;)I’m doing my cut by spreading it amongst my people.

@Justin ;; what about surveys that get more then 24000? That is a final cap?

The pricing at Survs is much steeper then many other survey companies. And more expensive then running it yourself, if you are going to get tens of thousands of responses.

I think your pricing is fair — just two comments:

1. Responses should continue to be collected past the limit — just hide them from me until I upgrade (and then they are unlocked).

2. I don’t run lots of surveys and, therefore, don’t need a monthly subscription. I’d like to be able to purchase surveys individually.

I feel the pricing is steep; very, very steep. For example the main rival you guys would have, is actually cheaper. 200 USD yearly for unlimited responses. Even the basic plan is inferior to the only other paid option Survey Monkey has.

The only thing about survs that wins is the format, and ease of use; but for en masse corporate surveys; survs will be a last choice.

Survey is also used by individuals, and it is not usual for an individual to conduct surveys in a continues manner and they may not need multi-users access. Therefore, another way of introducing the price is IMHO needed. it is a cost per survey. the cost may seem not worthy, but it is the very simple way of increasing the number of customers.
