Frequently asked questions

Why choose SmartSurvey as your Delighted alternative?
+

SmartSurvey is a feedback management platform built for teams that need more than NPS. You get unlimited surveys with advanced logic, branching, and personalisation across email, SMS, embed, QR, and kiosk. Built-in AI text analysis categorises open responses automatically, while custom dashboards let you track results across your whole programme. Whether you're running CX, employee, or product feedback surveys, SmartSurvey gives you the tools to collect, analyse, and act on what matters.

Is Delighted really shutting down?
+

Yes. Qualtrics confirmed the shutdown in mid-2025. Delighted stops accepting annual renewals on 1 July 2025, monthly plans end on 31 May 2026, and all customer data is permanently deleted after 30 June 2026. Feature development has already stopped. If you're currently using Delighted, now is the time to move so your feedback programme has no gap.

Can I migrate my survey data from Delighted?
+

Yes. Our team supports you through the migration so your historical data, survey templates, and distribution workflows carry across to SmartSurvey. Most teams are collecting responses again within a few days. Book a demo and we'll walk you through how it works for your specific setup.

Does SmartSurvey cap responses like Delighted?
+

SmartSurvey's self-serve plans give you up to 150,000 responses per year, with custom volumes available on Solutions plans. Delighted's most expensive self-serve plan allows only 500 per month, roughly 6,000 per year. The difference is significant at any meaningful scale, and SmartSurvey removes Delighted's 10-question cap entirely. SmartSurvey has no limit on questions per survey.

Does SmartSurvey support NPS, CSAT, and CES?
+

Yes, all three are built in and ready to use straight away. You also get employee engagement surveys, product feedback templates, and custom survey types, so you can run every programme you need from one platform without switching tools again.

Do you integrate with other tools?
+

Yes. SmartSurvey connects with Salesforce and HubSpot for contact management, Power BI and Microsoft Teams for reporting and sharing, and your existing systems through a full API and webhooks. You can also embed surveys directly into websites and apps. Delighted has no native Microsoft integrations at all.

Is my data safe?
+

SmartSurvey is ISO 27001 certified and Cyber Essentials Plus accredited. Data is encrypted in transit using TLS and at rest. We are fully GDPR compliant, with UK data storage on all plans. Delighted stores data on AWS in an undisclosed region with no published ISO 27001 or Cyber Essentials credentials of its own.

Can I try before committing to a contract?
+

Yes. A personalised demo and trial are available so you can see SmartSurvey in the context of your programme before committing. Start by requesting a demo and our team will set you up.

How much does it cost?
+

Pricing depends on your requirements and programme size. Book a demo to get started and we'll put together a plan that fits your needs.
