One Time Surveys – Pay One Time Fee. No Subscription. Pay as you Go.

Posted in: Blog, FluidSurveys - News by admin on September 7, 2009 | 1 Comment

Dear FluidSurveys Friends,

The time has come. We listened and we heard you when you said that you wanted to see us build a one time fee survey option into our pricing model. We are in the process of finalizing this payment option and in the next few hours you will see it in our website.

The pricing model will be very simple. You pay a one time fee and you will be able to create a survey with unlimited responses. You can access the data gathered with this survey at anytime. You can continue gathering data with this survey until you please. The only thing we request is that you log into you account at least once every six months so that we know that your account is valid.

Google Forms vs SurveyMonkey vs FluidSurveys – Feature Comparison

Posted in: Blog, FluidSurveys - News by admin on September 3, 2009 | No Comments

Today’s post from TechCrunch that talks about Google Forms was very interesting. We were very glad to see that Google Forms had decided to improve their offering. Google forms, the way we see it, helps us explain to our niche why FluidSurveys is the best online survey tool in its niche.

Take for example, some of the reasons why you should choose FluidSurveys over Google Forms or SurveyMonkey (see table below). Now, the software titles all have overlap areas and SurveyMonkey and Google Forms are clearly great tools and are looking to reach the largest audience possible and therefore offer features that appeal to the masses. They haven’t focused on building some of the advanced features that are used for advanced research (essentially more niche features). This is where we step in.

SurveyMonkey and Google Forms each have their own place in the market and while we are all very comparable on the basic features, FluidSurveys tries to develop all those extra features that our users can’t find anywhere else. Of course, there is also our easy to use drag and drop interface which is pretty cool as well

So, what are some of the differentiating features of FluidSurveys (i.e. things we have that the other tools don’t)?

Energy Drinks Can Help You Accomplish Great Things

Not to encourage anyone out there to have as many energy drinks as we do in the office (we know that they are definitely not the healthiest choice), but we thought it would be worthwhile to show you what the Energy Drink Fridge at the office looks like. That’s right, we said “Energy Drink Fridge”:

To take this to yet another level, why not take our Energy Drink Survey Below?

Comparing FluidSurveys to Zoomerang and SurveyMonkey – Online Review

Posted in: Blog, FluidSurveys - News by admin on July 31, 2009 | No Comments

Prospective customers always ask us, how does FluidSurveys Compare to the likes of SurveyMonkey and Zoomerang. Fair question. Both of those companies have been around for a while and so naturally, their names do come up. From our perspective, we’ve made it a point to offer more features, a more innovative and intuitive user interface, and lower pricing. You can check out this comparison table to SurveyMonkey and this comparison table to Zoomerang.

FluidSurveys has a focus on the enterprise and the web. We allow our customers to choose to use our website for a survey solution and even allow customers to install our software on their own servers. This two-pronged strategy has contributed a great deal to who we are today. At the end of the day, everyone will have their own favorite tool. We believe that we have a very compelling offering and any of our users will attest to that
