A free Sogolytics alternative with no annual response cap
Sogolytics' free plan stops at 200 responses a year, and each project caps at 100. PuckSurveys is free with unlimited responses, and it captures how sure people were, not just what they picked.
Sogolytics is a capable research and customer-experience platform, and its free plan even includes the full toolkit, but it's throttled hard: you get 200 survey responses a year, total, across everything you run, and each project stops at 100 responses. That's about four answers a week for your whole account, so a single real survey can use up the year's budget in a day. For an occasional survey, a class project, a side project, or a small team that just wants to ask a few good questions and keep collecting, that runs out fast. PuckSurveys is free, with unlimited responses and the full results dashboard included. Every answer is given by sliding a puck, which captures how sure the person was, not just what they chose. If it earns its keep you can chip in for the servers, but the survey, the responses, and the insights stay free.

Why people switch
- No annual response cap. Sogolytics' free plan stops at 200 responses a year, total; here every survey takes unlimited responses, free, with nothing to run out.
- 200 a year is tighter than it sounds. That's about four responses a week across every survey you run, and each project stops at 100; here there is no yearly or per-survey ceiling.
- You see hesitation, not just choices. Sliding a puck between No and Yes records how sure someone was on every answer, a signal Sogolytics doesn't capture.
- Nothing to unlock, nothing to run out. The full dashboard, the conviction on each answer, the answer replay, and free CSV export are all included, free, with no volume cap to hit.
When Sogolytics is the better choice (we'll say it, and mean it):
Sogolytics is a serious research and experience-management platform, and its real strength is depth, plus the fact that its free plan is fully featured. Advanced reporting and analytics, text and sentiment analysis, customer-experience programs like NPS, CSAT, and CES tracked over time, omnichannel distribution, and enterprise features like white-labeling and compliance are genuinely their advantage, and every feature is available even on the free plan, so you are limited by volume, not by tools. If you run a serious, high-volume research or customer-experience program and want that full toolkit, Sogolytics is built for it and worth its price. We are for the everyday survey where you want a better answering experience, no cap, and the conviction behind each answer, free. If you need a full research and CX suite at volume, that is them. If you want richer answers with no limits and no bill, that's us.
