Chose Outgrow
The previous tools we used had no ability to make numerical calculators and limited logic jump features within surveys (if someone answers question one a particular way, skip question two, etc.) and more limited ability to direct people toward different outcomes based on how …
Chose Outgrow
I haven't used anything else. Maybe Typeform. But Outgrow is engaging, it gets people to want to be involved and be proud of their answer. It's a true lead magnet. I selected it because it's a cool way that is different than a mere download. It's much more sharable than any …
Chose Outgrow
I did use a couple of other popular quiz design programs but I wasn't able to create the conditional logic and outcomes I needed. Outgrow has been the best option for my needs.
Chose Outgrow
Outgrow has a superior versatility coming to the animation, presentation of answers and results for users when completing the quiz. Also, the ability to create complex formulas for answers has been by far the most logical and extensive I have seen for a quiz generator.
Chose Outgrow
I've used a few WordPress based quiz plugins and they just don't compare. They are generally clunky, ugly, and lacking in decent notifications and analytics.

Outgrow is a no brainer.
Chose Outgrow
Limited functionalities, and limited design options. I really only want to implement a solution if it truly fits with the rest of my website and the level of quality of the rest of my products. When looking at the features and usability of Convertcalculator I felt that it did …
Chose Outgrow
I prefer Outgrow to LeadQuizzes because the interactive features are more advanced and also because the overall design is better. An outgrow quiz looks great as a standalone website. It integrates with Google Analytics, converts well off Facebook Ads, and works great as a modal …
Chose Outgrow
Outgrow by far has the fastest load time of any of the quiz software I've used. This is a big deal when running paid ads to a quiz as we don't want people to bounce away because of a slow site. Also, the mathematical formulas and question types are quite sophisticated. The sky …
Chose Outgrow
Typeform doesn't provide a way to build calculators with sliders.
Chose Outgrow
At Share Talk we use Paperform for some tasks which is also an excellent piece of software, but it operates in a different market to Outgrow - you could definitely try and replicate OutGrow with PaperForm but it would not be as easy or seamless to do so. I am yet to find a tool …
Chose Outgrow
Outgrow holds its own against all competitors. The reason it became the top choice was because of the way the platform approaches the creation of interactive quizzes and calculators. There is substantiated science and psychology behind what makes them effective, and Outgrow …
Chose Outgrow
Outgrow does more logical calculations, delivers CTA on the results page, redirects based upon results, and is easier to build than [the competitors]. Each tool has at least one of the features of Outgrow, but none of them combine them except for Outgrow. I was looking for a …
Chose Outgrow
Thrive Quizz builder is a solid plugin but only works on wordpress and you don`t have these kind of integration with other platforms. Thrive is more limited in a lot of ways. Outgrow is a league on its own
Chose Outgrow
Greater value in terms of flexibility to use as needed for any project. Documentation and support ensures I get answers to questions without spending too much time on set up and learning how to use. They continue to add value with things like more templates and new features, so …
Chose Outgrow
Typeform offers intelligent forms through the use of "logic jump", however, Outgrow offers similar services plus more and their interactive quizzes and calculators are better looking and more engaging than the ones I built using Typeform.
Skyword
Chose Skyword
SkyWord distinguishes itself by its efficiency and the capabilities it has with web design and management. It also has a strong variety of content production capabilities like video, social media, etc. Our procurement team has found SkyWord to be fair when it comes to prices, …

Likelihood to Recommend
Outgrow is a better choice compared to its competitors if you don't want to end up promoting their product with your quizzes and calculators. I appreciate that they respect my ability to recommend their platform to peers rather than end-users. That said, Outgrow is a powerful suite of creative tools, and it's likely not a good choice for anyone who's planning to make just one quiz or calculator and then move on.

It's a great platform for freelance writers to use because everything - the brief, deadline, notes, edits along the way etc, are all in one handy location; which is easy to access. It's great to get picked up by one client, following the recommendation of another too. It's almost like a networking site in this respect too, where companies get matched or paired with the right writers.

Cons
  • The UI is a bit elaborate, it seems a bit too much when I want something basic
  • The results emails were a bit confusing to setup but support was great in getting this fixed
  • Only one Admin can use the basic service

  • It would be useful to see historical versions of copy that you have uploaded rather than the latest, edited version.
  • In some programmes the rules are a bit too prescriptive ie set word counts with not too much variance. Similarly, sometimes you have to almost 'shoe horn' key words into the copy in order to hit the number required. This can make the text sound repetitive and less creative journalistically.
  • Not quite sure what the readability scores bring to the party?

Usability
It is a no code platform that makes content creation very easy with pre-built templates and strong lead generation tools. However, customisation options are limited , complex logic can be tricky and better content organisation is needed for a large scale use. Overall, it's user friendly but needs improvement in scalability and flexibility.

Support Rating
Support is very responsive and is quick to respond to questions and problems. Outgrow sometimes changes their pricing and plan structures and add/remove options without properly relaying the info to customers. They could do a better job with communications and being upfront with the pricing plans people sign up for.

Very responsive to our requests. Always make themselves available. We also have a standing weekly status with their team, which keeps us on the same page.

Limited functionalities, and limited design options. I really only want to implement a solution if it truly fits with the rest of my website and the level of quality of the rest of my products. When looking at the features and usability of Convertcalculator I felt that it did not perform as well as Outgrow. Another reason was the number of resources in their Help Center. I did not start a chat with them, so I can't comment on their customer service. I feel like there is no real competition out there, or I've been searching in the wrong places.
