August 19, 2026 5.0 9/10 Hard to describe overall experience because it was so simple and quick. I had no hiccups or issues creating my survey. Pros Easy to navigate, and clear straight forward instructions. The themes/designs were versatile and fun. Cons Many conveniences only come with the Premium plan. Basic wants such as being able to stop and come back to the survey later. Review Source ES Emma S. Student Education Management Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Very good survey platform" October 6, 2026 5.0 Very good experience overall. I would recommend this product for anyone wanting to build a meaningful survey. Pros It's as good as Qualtrics and possibly more reliable. Very intuitive and easy to use. The QR code links worked well and I like being able to provide others with access to the live results. I had a lot of fun with this product. Cons Nothing bad to say really. It was a good experience. Other platforms I have tried are more complicated and less reliable. Switched from [XM for Strategy & Research](https://www.capterra.com/p/72396/Strategy-and-Research/) Qualtrics wasn't reliably functioning for the purpose I needed. Review Source MB Mika B. Project Manager Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Tool for very basic time-to-time usage" April 21, 2022 3.0 I think the tool is good if you have fairly little amount of users and you will always send the invites out from another solution. In this case the tool is good value for money. Pros The tool is fairly easy to use and you can get started fast with it. On the end user side those who will receive the survey, the tool looks good. Cons The tool has limited capabilities especially in the survey delivery side, sending the survey invites. Also there are not much admin features and managing the whole platform is very difficult. Review Source LK Leticia K. RN Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Basic plan is great but make sure you transfer results or copy them externally in real time so you're not locked out of reviewign them once it ends!" July 30, 2026 5.0 Great overall except for result review. It's easy to create, share, and edit. Perfect for work or school until reviewing. It's easy to review but the survey and results close simultaneously and while I don't need to share results, I do want to review them! Pros The ease of creating and sharing the survey! Also being able to edit it vs starting from scratch if you notice any late errors was great! It's perfect for school projects! Cons That once the survey was completed, I wasn't able to see the results any longer because I'm on the basic plan. I'm okay with not being able to share them or easily make them into a PDF or graph as I can do that on my own but I was hoping to be able to reference them a little while longer after the survey closed. Even a couple weeks after the survey closes would be better than them closing simultaneously. Switched from [SurveyMonkey](https://www.capterra.com/p/253516/SurveyMonkey/) My last plan was covered by my employer but they no longer cover that service.

The platform prioritizes getting a clean survey out the door in minutes rather than overwhelming you with sprawling configuration menus Pros Fast, Clean Builder: The drag-and-drop interface is remarkably clean Responsive Respondent Experience: Surveys look polished on mobile and desktop devices right out of the box Cons Limited Deep Integrations: If you need complex automated workflows (e.g., bi-directional syncing into CRM pipelines or enterprise data lakes Review Source KS Karen S. Student Environmental Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Positive first time experience." September 11, 2026 5.0 Extremely satisfied. All of the steps are really clear with good instructions and lots of options for different styles and requirements. I would highly recommend it. Pros It is extremely user-friendly. This is the first time I have created an online survey, and I need to do one as part of my master's dissertation project, and I was very happy with the result. Cons The limitations to the free product are quite restrictive, and purchasing the product is quite pricey. Review Source WA Walid A. CEO Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "SurveyHero: User-Friendly, Responsive, and scalable platform " October 6, 2026 5.0 I have been using survey hero for years and Iam very stastfied and willing to recommend it to other researchers and services Pros Agility, responsiveness, user friendliness, and bilingual support ensure a flexible, fast, intuitive, and accessible experience that meets diverse user needs. Cons when I reached 30,000 survey i was unable to download my responses in bulk and it affected my analysis capacity Review Source HS Hila S. student Research Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "review surveyhero" September 27, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience with SurveyHero was positive. It is user-friendly, reliable, and works well for creating and distributing surveys. However, the limited export options and the need to pay for more advanced features make it slightly less convenient for academic or complex research projects. Pros SurveyHero is very easy and convenient to use. The interface is clear, intuitive, and efficient, making it simple to create surveys, collect responses, and manage the data without needing much technical knowledge. Cons One of the main disadvantages is that SurveyHero does not export data directly to SPSS, only to formats such as Excel, which adds an extra step for statistical analysis. In addition, some more advanced features, such as enhanced anonymity options, are only available in paid plans. Review Source AR Annamarie R. Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Surveys Made Simple" September 14, 2026 5.0 I initially used the survey with an internal team at work and was pleasantly surprised at the ease of use for both building a wide variety of survey questions and reviewing results. Several team members reported on the ease of use from their perspective, so it is a win-win. Pros The survey design is easy to navigate, minimizing my time spent on survey creation while maximizing the survey's use. Cons I did not experience anything negative in the use of the survey. I felt there was little information as a means of guidance in the build, but I quickly noted the prompts, so it was pretty easy! Review Source EH Elias H. Student Education Management Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Testing for my first survey" September 18, 2026 4.0 So far it has been good. I have to manually write every question and answer and it takes a lot of time Pros It’s seems its easy to create and manage surveys. The site looks simple, yet it has many options to create whatever your goal is. Cons I wish I could upload a file with all the questions so it creates the survey automatically. Maybe there is the option, I haven’t found it. Review Source JJ Janet J. Student Accounting Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Wonderful site to create surveys for students! " March 20, 2025 5.0 So far my experience has been wonderful, I cant wait to try out more features! Pros I liked the ease of use and that they offer a free version for students which is beyond amazing! Cons nothing its great, I have found nothing that is negative about the site thus far Switched from [SurveyMonkey](https://www.capterra.com/p/253516/SurveyMonkey/) I had created a survey, however I was unable to export it to excel or actually use the survey I created without purchasing a plan that was roughly $300/yr. As a student the cost was way out of my budget! I went looking elsewhere which is when I found SurveyHero! They are phenomenal, and they offer a free account for students! Review Source BR Brooke R. Director Education Management Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Great, easy to use survey creator" March 10, 2026 5.0 Pros One of the biggest advantages of SurveyHero is its ease of use. The interface is simple and intuitive, making it easy for beginners to create surveys in just a few minutes. Users can choose from multiple question types such as multiple choice, open-ended questions, ratings, and scales. The drag-and-drop style layout allows users to quickly organize questions without needing design experience. Another major benefit is the visual customization options. SurveyHero allows users to adjust colors, themes, and layouts so surveys can match branding or look more visually appealing. This is particularly helpful for businesses that want their surveys to feel professional and consistent with their brand. Cons Despite its strengths, SurveyHero does have some drawbacks. One limitation is that advanced features are restricted in the free version. While basic surveys are easy to create, features such as deeper analytics, advanced logic, or large response limits often require a paid plan. Another downside is that complex survey logic is somewhat limited compared to larger survey tools. Users who need highly advanced branching, conditional workflows, or research-level survey design may find the platform somewhat restrictive. Finally, while the interface is simple, data export and integration options can feel limited for users who want to connect survey data directly with other software or large data systems.

June 28, 2026 5.0 I was able to easily gather data, and will be exporting it to use in a research project for a class. Pros The best part of SurveyHero is the ability to insert bulk responses with a simple copy and paste. This makes it easier to use an assignments require responses. Cons So far there is nothing I've disliked about SurveyHero. I have not been able to export my data yet but I anticipate it will be easy. Having to upgrade for a full year, instead of monthly is a bit of an inconvenience. Review Source Sheikh S. Student Education Management Used the software for: I used a free trial ### " Easy to Use, But Limited for More Advanced Needs" July 2, 2026 5.0 Pros What I liked most about SurveyHero was how easy it was to build a survey quickly. The interface felt clean and intuitive, and I could create a professional-looking questionnaire without a steep learning curve. I also liked that it was simple to share the survey and start collecting responses right away. Cons What I liked least about SurveyHero was that some of the more useful features seemed to be locked behind paid plans, especially deeper analytics and stronger branding options. I also found the pricing a bit limiting for a thesis project, because the free plan can feel good at the start but less flexible once you want more control over exports or reporting. Review Source RD Rhonda D. Staff Technician MFG Engineering Semiconductors Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Statistics Student with need to create surveys" February 16, 2026 4.0 Positive experience but I need more options as a student such as ability to alter graph text and export files for data analysis. Pros I found it very easy to sign up for a basic account. It was also easy to create a survey with questions of my choosing. Cons The graphs generated for my data had odd labels for x and y axis with no way to change them. I was unable to export to csv, excel, or pdf to perform data calculations needed for my course because I have only a basic account. Review Source MFT Mahir Faysal T.
