What you get for $29 once

  • 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).
  • Three delivery channels. A standalone survey link, personalized email sends via your own SMTP, and an embeddable widget script.
  • One response per recipient. Email-keyed dedupe at the database level means a second submit gets a friendly already-responded message.
  • Detractor alerts. A Slack-ready webhook and/or email fire instantly on low scores, and soft-fail so they never block response capture.
  • Dashboard. Score trend over time, the promoter/passive/detractor split, and a response feed with comments.
  • No renewal, ever. The license does not expire and there is no per-seat meter — $29 is the whole price.
