#11 of 12 survey tools
Facts checked 8 Oct 2026

In short

The free plan collects up to 2,500 signals in total; each answered survey question counts as one signal¹.
Premium costs $15 a month billed yearly, or $25 billed monthly¹.
Premium and Business plans have no cap on signals, and surveys and questions are unlimited¹.
Branching and logic trees start on Premium; removing Crowdsignal branding needs Business at $45 a month yearly¹.
The documented API covers polls and ratings only, not surveys³.

Crowdsignal suits people who want polls and surveys with logic for $15 a month and no cap on signals¹. Exports to Excel, CSV, XML and PDF come with Premium⁴. The catch: its pages mention no SOC 2, ISO 27001, EU storage or data processing agreement, and its API covers polls and ratings, not surveys^3,6,7.

Best for: People who want polls and surveys with branching at a low price.
