⚠️ 6 Survey Software Gotchas to Watch For

• Response Data Mining: HIGH Some platforms analyze aggregate response data for their own research or sell industry benchmark reports that include anonymized data from your surveys
• Response Limits Per Survey: MEDIUM Free/basic tiers often cap responses per survey (e.g., 100/survey), not just total responses. Long-running surveys can hit limits unexpectedly
• Branding Removal Costs: MEDIUM "White-label" or removing the platform's logo and branding often requires expensive enterprise plans, making professional surveys costly
• Logic/Branching Tier Locks: HIGH Advanced survey logic, skip patterns, and conditional branching may only be available on premium tiers—check before building complex surveys
• Respondent PII Responsibility: MEDIUM You may bear full GDPR/CCPA compliance responsibility for respondent data, even though it's stored on their servers
• Data Retention on Cancellation: HIGH Response data may be deleted 30-90 days after cancellation. If you pause your subscription, you may lose access to all historical data
