### "My go-to option for market research!"

February 17, 2022

5.0

I have used Pollfish twice: before setting up my blog, and to support an MBA thesis on Strategy and Product Development.

Pros

How fast it was to set up my questionnaire without the need to be tech savvy.

Cons

The price level is not for the light hearted. It's an investment.

### "Lets You Design Professional-Looking Polls In Minutes"

December 24, 2023

5.0

We're very happy with Pollfish for our customer polls. We run abou 4 - 8 polls every month, and we haven't had any issues at all so far. The polls function well even when there's lots of people submitting them at the same time. And the templates, native integrations, and the automated reports are also great additions. If I had to choose again, I'd 100% go for Pollfish.

Pros

Pollfish is probably the single easiest software I've ever used. The drag and drop builder is great itself, but the template library also has anything we every need, so you rarely have to design anything from scratch. The templates are also designed very well, we usually pick one, do a couple edits, and deploy. The whole thing takes less than 10 minutes.

Cons

It would be good to have te reporting features improved a bit more, with better automated insights, embeddable charts, etc.

Reason for choosing Pollfish

### "Great tool to conduct the survey & user responses"

October 4, 2023

4.0

We are a Fintech startup which deals with users all across the globe. Pollfish helps us to know the pre & post engagement of the features. With Pollfish, I can collate the data & check for the areas of improvements on the platform. Instead of spending hefty & not giving a fancy look to the surveys, Pollfish really helps to be budget-friendly & result-driven.

Pros

1\. The interface is really simple & highly intuitive for the first time users.2. It's customisable templates make the job easy by launching the survey in a quick time.3. Flexible filters & transparent pricing.

Cons

1\. Sometimes the data is not reliable as the data visualisation presents irrelevant results such as repetitive answers.2. Unable to reorder the questions & add imagery in the survey.3. It's a longer time & often crashes if the survey is lengthy.

### "Allegory's recent consumer survey"

January 29, 2021

4.0

Overall, I am very satisfied with their services.

Pros

I used Pollfish back in 2017, and I'm impressed with its evolution since then. It's straightforward to use, and you can set up proper screening questions and create logics where you want to show different questions to different audiences based on their previous answers. The dashboard is also very easy to use, even though you can export the data in various formats for further analysis.

Cons

Although it's not a deal-breaker as it was within our expectation (I have an actuarial background), we realized that some of the answers/respondents are not of high-quality, meaning that in some instances, we realized that the same person answered with a different user ID's or some users provided "troll" answers to the some of the open-ended questions. I am sure they have their internal fraud and data quality checks, but some improvement is needed on that end.

Price was the main deal-breaker as it was almost double for the same sample size if I am not mistaken.

### "Insight lover"

February 16, 2022

5.0

Outstanding customer service, responsive, immediate and knowledgeable, and one of your greatest assets. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] is a great \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] .

Pros

The broad respondent network in multiple languages and countries, ease of set-up and cost effective.

Cons

It does not allow for the scoring of responses that would provide a self-assessment for the respondent after the survey is completed. This is offered by Qualtrics and Survey Monkey and it's the only reason we continue to use Survey Monkey. The minute this is provided, we will be moving a 100% of our business to Pollfish.

### "User friendly research tool."

February 16, 2022

5.0

Easy to use software and very helpful support services.

Pros

Easy to use, cost-effective and empowering. Also, the ability to recruit in most countries was a key reason for our selection of Pollfish

Cons

I used the pay per use feature so did not have access to the advanced analytics tool. One needs to be a subscriber to use advanced analytics, which did not make sense as one is already paying for use.

Reason for choosing Pollfish

The audience recruitment was easier and it was available in more countries than Google Survey. We surveyed countries in Africa, East Asia, West Asia, South East Asia, Asia Pacific, Europe and North America

### "Best solution to market your survey at an honest price"

February 10, 2022

4.0

I'm able to collect a lot of responses in a short period of time at an honest price.

Pros

Pollfish offers a lot of question types. It's almost impossible not being able to build the survey you are looking for

Cons

It may be a little bit tricky to build a pricing survey based on some methods (like Van Westendorp method) but I know they are working on it

Reason for choosing Pollfish

Support is awesome. My first survey did not collect quality responses because it was based on Van Westendorp pricing analysis, but the software was not built around this type of survey. They gave me back my money instantly after checking out the quality of answers

### "Pollfish for Market Research"

February 17, 2022

5.0

I've had a great experience with Pollfish so far. We used Pollfish to send a poll to user in the healthcare system to gain a greater understanding of their experience in healthcare and to see what tools would be useful for them in the healthcare space.

Pros

I appreciate that Pollfish was intuitive both in creating a poll and also for the user who takes the poll.

Cons

I would like a little bit more assistance in how to effectively use Pollfish. I don't have a strong background in technology so "pro tips" would be helpful.

### "Surveying tool that is right for you"

September 9, 2022

5.0

Overall, Pollfish is a unique piece of software.

Pros

Much of its responsiveness appeals to me. It is completely automated. Technically, it is of good quality. I enjoy the video and audio presentations for the items and services to be surveyed. I also use Pollfish to fill out questionnaires. It's simple, enjoyable, and a wonderful way to spend some time online, plus I get to express my thoughts.

Cons

For me, I do not dislike anything in Pollfish. It is good however there are times where it is difficult to use in phones.

4.0

Pros

The product is intuitive to use and so inexpensive, you can really road-test ideas without heavy investment. As well, the team at Pollfish is eager to be helpful.

Cons

The nuance of reporting is highly limited. As well, it can be very difficult to recruit nuanced populations. Lastly they do not offer the ability to use the software with the clients own database

### "Good Value and Insights for the Money"

February 28, 2022

4.0

Pros

Pollfish gives you a way to conduct quantitative online surveys without the price barrier of Google Surveys or even SurveyMonkey in come cases. It is easy and quick to deploy and reach target audiences.

Cons

Compared to Google Surveys and SurveyMonkey, the program lacks some features/robustness. I used to be unsure about where they find their audience, but they have recently done a good job of spelling that out more on their website.

### "Very fast and affordable, with some data quality & features drawbacks"

December 14, 2021

4.0

I really enjoy the speed of a Pollfish survey, including the ability to load it myself so I don't wait extra time / pay extra to field. Data quality and survey question options are my biggest flag.

Pros

Pollfish is easy to use, fast to field, and the customer service has been responsive and helpful.

Cons

Two main points of feedback would be around 1) data quality: sometimes the responses feel like a person is just quickly clicking through on their phone, and open ended questions often have poor results. While I know those are less than idea to survey providers, we find them useful. And 2) survey question options - they are still a bit limited in terms of options and structure.

### "Awesome filters but a tad overwhelming "

February 17, 2022

5.0

Pollfish has helped my company understand our core users’ preferences and pain points much better. The respondent and answer percentages give very quick data on rankings of preferences and issues. By using a variety of survey type questions on various social media platforms and with email, we have been able to refine our product and boost sales with the changes.

Pros

You have the ability to hone in on precise demographics in terms of age, gender and so forth when defining the target audience for the survey...very helpful for precise data.

Cons

I felt overwhelmed but the number of features with a lack of proper education on how to use them. I have used other companies such as Survey Monkey that have modal pop ups when you hover over a feature to explain what it is and use. Trial and error with great patience is best on Pollfish.

### "NEVER USE POLLFISH (TERRIBLE RESPONSES, HORRENDOUS CUSTOMER SUPPORT)"

August 24, 2020

1.0

Pros

It has a very intuitive UI that makes it seem like they're providing a compelling and legitimate product, nothing could be further from the truth...

Cons

I never take the time to write reviews about the software I use, but my experience with Pollfish was so utterly time consuming, stressful, and detrimental in any capacity that I literally feel the duty to warn others of not wasting your money on this terrible service. First and foremost, their core product literally does not work (especially if your survey is not run using their platform). I used a Qualtrics survey and virtually every answer I got was straight-lined and very clearly unthoughtful (it was more common than not to see people answer questions in ways that contradicted previous answers than not). After observing this embarrassingly low level of responses as they were coming in, I immediately asked for a refund and said I didn't want to proceed with the survey. At this point I had only gotten 60 or so responses of the 400 that I purchased, and they're telling me it's going to take them over a month to refund what I deposited. Terrible service, would not recommend to anyone.
