Pulsecheck for Freelancers: NPS, CSAT and CES surveys you own forever

NPS, CSAT and CES surveys you own forever.

Freelancers expense a dozen subscriptions — proposals, contracts, invoices, time tracking — against irregular income. Owning the tools outright removes a whole line of fixed costs.

The tool this job usually means renting is Delighted, at $224+/mo — roughly $2,688 a year, every year. Pulsecheck does the job for a one-time $29 — running on infrastructure you control.

Fit check

Why it fits how freelancers work

🔢 Three survey types

NPS (0-10), CSAT (1-5) and CES (1-7), each with correct documented score math (NPS = %promoters minus %detractors, ranged -100 to 100).

For freelancers, three survey types pays off between gigs, against irregular income — and it's covered by the same one-time $29, not metered per month.

📬 Three delivery channels

A standalone survey link, personalized email sends via your own SMTP, and an embeddable widget script.

For freelancers, three delivery channels pays off between gigs, against irregular income — and it's covered by the same one-time $29, not metered per month.

🚫 One response per recipient

Email-keyed dedupe at the database level means a second submit gets a friendly already-responded message.

For freelancers, one response per recipient pays off between gigs, against irregular income — and it's covered by the same one-time $29, not metered per month.
