Considered Both Products
SnapSurveys
Chose SnapSurveys
It is an in between option. The options we evaluated were Qualtrics and SurveyGizmo. It's cheaper than Qualtrics and easier to design surveys than SurveyGizmo. Nonetheless it's not the worst option out there like SurveyMonkey.
Chose SnapSurveys
Since I have invested so much time in this program and have been using SNAP Surveys since around 1990, I honestly have not focused that much on other competing software programs. The little bit that I have seen is that some popular web-survey programs (like Survey Monkey) may …
Chose SnapSurveys
I choose to use SnapSurveys because of the many options the product itself provides. Other products do not offer the variety that SnapSurveys does. In everything from how you administer your survey, to the preloaded questions and languages you can administer your surveys.
Chose SnapSurveys
Survey Monkey is great but it's really on the "Quick and Dirty" side of things. Due to shortage of staff time and expertise, we go with Survey Monkey whenever possible. But you can't beat Snap for the more robust, complicated stuff.
We use Epi Info for some projects that are …
Chose SnapSurveys
I have used SurveyMonkey and Vovici. Both of these products were easier to learn and use than Snap, but they were also far less powerful.
Wufoo
Chose Wufoo
I prefer Wufoo to Formstack because it is nicer in appearance and is certainly user-friendly. Wufoo has provided everything that Formstack provided, and it also integrates nicely with our conference webpage. To be completely honest, while we still use Wufoo for time-off …
Chose Wufoo
Wufoo lacks the intricate features that SurveyMonkey has in terms of customization, survey login, reporting, and analysis. However, it provides an excellent, easy-to-use way to create forms and surveys/polls for customers that require little effort for such tasks. In many …
Chose Wufoo
They all have very similar freemium and low tier plans, so it comes down to what exactly you need and what you can live without. However, I highly suggest paying up to at least remove branding to keep all your forms on-brand to build trust with your clients and partners.
Chose Wufoo
I have used EmailMeForms in the past, and to be honest, they are very similar, but WuFoo's forms look way more professional. I like the fact that you can fully customize the look and feel of the form, add your own branding, and images and the fact that after submission they …
Chose Wufoo
Both are good basic options. While Google Forms is free, Wufoo provides a free version with premium options. Wufoo has additional customization options such as logos, backgrounds, and other visual changes. Both offer analytics abilities to digest the data and to find common …
Chose Wufoo
For companies who want budget-friendly, customizable forms software that allowed them flexibility and ease of use (where design did not matter), our first recommendation would be Wufoo. Wufoo has all the integrations and capabilities that Typeform has - with more, actually. The …
Chose Wufoo
I do believe SurveyMonkey owns Wufoo, but ultimately the prorated discount for non-profits is what lead us to choose Wufoo.
Chose Wufoo
Wufoo is more robust than Survey Monkey and has more question/answer options. Wufoo also has more customization options for a cleaner, more professional experience for the user when compared to Survey Monkey and Google Forms.
Chose Wufoo
We use them in conjunction with each other. The ability to have multiple technologies work together is what we look for in (and as) a SaaS platform. The best in class is always more beneficial than having one all-in-one solution. In the antiquated days of the past there would …
Chose Wufoo
I think out of these apps, Wufoo and SurveyMonkey maybe are the ones with more robust and complex features. But neither has a design so beautiful as Typeform, nor the simplicity of creating and answering surveys in Google Forms. Usually I use:

- Typeform for small and more …
Chose Wufoo
Both Wufoo and Formstack offer a lot of the same features, which is to be expected. Price is a huge factor though when comparing Wufoo vs Formstack. Wufoo is $29 per month paid annually for 5 users and unlimited forms. Formstack is $82.50 per month paid annually for 5 users …
Chose Wufoo
We use two other form builders, WP Forms and Jot Form. Jot form is probably the closest to Wufoo in functionality and feel, where WP forms is mainly to capture leads and subscribers.

Jot form too has its limitations in the look and feel department, but offers similar …
Chose Wufoo
It was the most affordable, easiest to use and best product that we researched and evaluated. We liked the interface of it, how you could make multiple accounts, the different theme options you could choose from and how easy it was to share your form. We needed something we …
Chose Wufoo
In terms of building reports, Wufoo is very similar to Google Forms. Both have the capability to edit live forms and immediately share them. Wufoo offers a few more features than Google Forms does as well. Overall, our department has looked at both options and continues to use …
Chose Wufoo
Wufoo is superior while Google Forms are very basic and limited. They also don't embed well.
Chose Wufoo
We selected Wufoo based on a recommendation from a web developer friend, ease of use and cost. Wufoo does, however, have fewer features than Cognitoforms.
Chose Wufoo
SurveyMonkey does not hold a candle to Wufoo.
Chose Wufoo
Wufoo doesn't replace MailChimp, but Wufoo's forms are more robust and full featured, MailChimp's form capabilities don't always fit my needs, so I integrate the two.
Chose Wufoo
Wufoo has an unparalleled ease of use. It's a simple to follow layout and support staff are accessible within an hour window almost without fail. The forms are more dynamic and easy to set up than either Google Forms or Salsa Labs based registration, but unlike Salsa Labs, the …
Chose Wufoo
As a manager of website content, without much experience in coding HTML, even the smallest of edits were difficult when starting my job. In the past three years, I've used some WordPress theme software and the ninjaform plugin. The lack of design and efficiency became apparent …
Chose Wufoo
We really didn't test drive other products for forms/surveys. We did initial research on what it might add, but Wufoo took the cake every time in comparison for its ease of use, trainability, and support situations.
Chose Wufoo
When I researched Wufoo in 2008, it was easier on the eyes for the survey creator and respondent than SurveyMonkey.
Wufoo also allows questions to have hyperlinks and images. Google Forms does not.
Chose Wufoo
I haven't used very many other products that are similar to Wufoo. Wufoo is built to be integrated with so many other applications and add-ins for workflow (many of which are free), that it is extremely easy to add it in a way that is synergistic with the rest of your business.
Chose Wufoo
We have used Google forms in the past as well and we do like it's ability to populate a google drive spreadsheet immediately that can be shared with an entire committee.
We do have a lot of long term use forms though that wufoo has more stability for maintaining.

Likelihood to Recommend
We would recommend this product to others and it really does fit the needs of the virtual world and still meets the needs of those that need to complete paper. It really is a happy middle place as it works either way. Again, the interface is user-friendly and the ability to do surveys offline is great.

Wufoo is a great tool for building forms. It is especially handy for marketing and non-technical users so that you can develop and implement forms and reduce the need for technology support. We've used this tool for 5+ years and have taken on the form-creation duties for our websites and we've never looked back. With that being said, if you are looking to create a very complex form with a lot of fields and lots of field/page logic, Wufoo may not be the best tool for you and/or you may need significantly more technology support.

Pros
  • Snap has wonderful vast functionality. I love showing off it's latest new features!
  • As well as online surveys, you can produce mobile, paper and kiosk versions with Snap.
  • You can run surveys in multiple languages (including double-byte such as Japanese and Chinese) and analyze all the results together.
  • Smart reporting is definitely worth checking out if you have multiple tailored reports to produce over time.
  • Their support people are extremely professional and knowledgeable.
  • Their worksheets (available on their website) are invaluable and very well written.
  • Their Research Department, staffed by guru users of the software, can provide additional resource for a fee.

  • Wufoo's layout is simple and intuitive. A single click will add a field to your form, and more advanced users can customize forms with minimal time invested to create complex and advanced systems.
  • Integration into webpages is simple. The code is provided in several formats and its a matter of copy and paste.
  • Payments are incredibly easy to integrate once you have the appropriate accounts set up with a third party approved vendor.
  • Creating receipts, follow up emails, and establishing form logic is very simple - a few clicks and you're done!

Cons
  • Difficulty of use: Since the software has such sophistication, using all the features requires a very detailed understanding which takes a lot of time and effort.
  • Tiering of features: The licensing model is a bit unclear and not the easiest to understand.

  • The reports can be a little rough looking when we have a longer form. The data grids are nice but often cumbersome for someone to view. In those situations, we export the data to excel and plug into our own report forms.
  • A cloud-like situation would be helpful for saving old forms. It's nice to reference previous forms but our main page gets bogged down. It would be nice to have a second page to save old forms and have the main page be for active forms.
  • Simpler formatting would be nice for those who do not know HTML. To be able to bold or change font size with the click of a button would be helpful.

Though there are many aspects of the product I enjoy and are very useful, it needs to be updated a bit. When using the software you can see that a lot of time was spent on the backend of things, such as the included questions. However, you can see that the way in which it is put together and how it looks did not receive as much attention. I really would enjoy something that is more aesthetically pleasing and not something that looks like it predates 1999

I only give it this mid-range rating because, since the 2014 Super Bowl is history, our company will be closing in a couple months. I hope in my next employment opportunity that I will be able to use Wufoo again. I will probably use it to a limited extent in my personal life to communicate with friends and contacts in a unique manner. I am also working on a Certificate in Web Development and I definitely use Wufoo as embedded forms in websites I build.

Usability
I think as an organization there is always room to grow, however, this application has really helped us with our dilemma with offline, online, and paper surveys. We are able to make our surveys fun and engaging and the interface for the person creating the survey is user-friendly. Customer service is very helpful if you need additional support.

I have always found Wufoo to be incredibly user-friendly and simple to understand. It can be readily grasped by even the most non-technical of users. It's simple, clean, and highly readable. To this date, I haven't heard a single customer or coworker complain about the usability of Wufoo. All in all, Wufoo is a product that has exceptional overall usability.

Every time I try to use a different Form Builder - I constantly go back to Wufoo, especially compared to WordPress Plugin Form Builders. The biggest reason is the reliability of the form notifications getting sent and delivered are better than form builder that rely on the Wordpress Mail Send Feature. The only feature that I have found over the last 3 years that Wufoo is missing is the ability to customize the layout of the notification emails. But that is minor in the grand scope of its reliability.

Unmatched response time and incredible support. When you submit a support e-mail you get an immediate response to let you know that they are on it. Within 10 to 15 minutes you get a detailed and educated response to the problem you are having. They either direct you to documentation on their site or they give you other avenues in which to Achieve fixing your issue. The response is always personal and never feels automated.

Implementing Wufoo was a seamless process. It was an instantaneous transition from the old pdf forms and webforms we were using to the easier to understand Wufoo forms. Employees learned it with ease and the clients response was instantaneously positive. Adding Wufoo to your workflow is not only easy it is necessary.

Since I have invested so much time in this program and have been using SNAP Surveys since around 1990, I honestly have not focused that much on other competing software programs. The little bit that I have seen is that some popular web-survey programs (like Survey Monkey) may have nice looking front end features but limited analysis capabilities and SPSS has strong analysis capabilities but is not a strong questionnaire designer.

For companies who want budget-friendly, customizable forms software that allowed them flexibility and ease of use (where design did not matter), our first recommendation would be Wufoo. Wufoo has all the integrations and capabilities that Typeform has - with more, actually. The major difference is user experience and design. Typeform breaks all questions out one by one... but it's much easier to customize the design and create a high-end experience without HTML. For companies who need customizable forms software but really care about their design - Typeform is our go-to. We rarely use Google Forms (would only use them for free-needs or internal / non-important use), mostly because we prefer the experience that we can get from Wufoo and Typeform.

Return on Investment
  • Information gathered from surveys could be measured by key figures.
  • Increased employee efficiency, and help with better customer service.
  • Each department could review the finding and put them to use.

  • Gives clients quick and easy forms to fill out - increased satisfaction due to ease
  • Our department often has to follow up with clients after submitting their forms
  • We use Wufoo to schedule campus visits - this is where the form is found lacking most of us. We would love for a calendar feature to be able to block out certain dates or redirect before a form is completed.
