Important: The pricing model of zenloop appears to scale with the number of survey responses.

On most survey platforms, "response" means answering one question.
If you have a survey with 10 questions and 10 participants have completed it fully, you have used 100 responses.

PollHero Reporting & Analytics

PollHero collects data from the first response, even if a survey is abandoned. This way, no feedback is lost.

PollHero’s reporting is clear and straightforward, without complicated settings. You receive only the data you actually need.

The PollHero Reporting Dashboard offers you three AI features:

  • AI Sentiment Analysis, to capture the mood of your customers
  • AI Topic Clustering, to sort free-text responses into topic areas
  • AI Summary & Suggestions, for quick identification of optimization potential

AI Summaries are provided for each free-text question.

You can filter by custom user attributes in reporting, download your project reporting per survey as CSV, and compare any type of rating (NPS, rating question, emojis) over time.

zenloop Reporting & Analytics

zenloop reporting also offers you AI features:

  • AI sentiment analysis
  • AI Topic Clusters

zenSurvey provides data on survey response rates and allows you to compare NPS data over an extended period.

Privacy & Data

PollHero is developed and hosted in Germany. This makes the software and artificial intelligence 100% GDPR-compliant. Additionally, PollHero offers you another level of data protection through two-factor authentication.

Within the surveys, you can manage in the settings whether personal data is shown in the reporting. Per project, it is possible to enable or disable PII (personally identifiable information) masking. Email addresses and numbers with 4 or more digits are censored in the responses.

zenloop is also a German company, which stores data as follows:

They use Amazon’s AWS servers, which are located in Luxembourg. While Luxembourg is an EU country, Amazon AWS is an American company.
zenloop also uses Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud as data centers.

US-based companies, even when located in Europe, are subject to the CLOUD Act, which allows US authorities to collect data from all users.

Additionally, zenloop transfers data to the UK, which is no longer an EU country and therefore does not have to comply with EU GDPR.
