The models' main caveat: Increasingly positioned as an enterprise research platform with opaque enterprise pricing, so it can be overkill for teams that mainly need. The strongest alternative is Survicate — Near-tie for #1 and the best value/general-purpose choice: excellent NPS plus in-product surveys, event/attribute targeting, web and mobile delivery.
