Peiley vs Doodle
€6.95/moThe classic date-picker — well-known, but ad-heavy on free
- Strongest point
- Brand recognition — 'doodling' became a verb in some markets
- Weakest point
- Ads + cookie banners on free, no surveys
- Why Peiley
- Same simple date-picker, no ads, plus surveys in the same link
Peiley vs Typeform
€25/moBeautiful one-question-per-screen surveys — priciest on the market
- Strongest point
- Polished UX and large integration library (Salesforce, HubSpot)
- Weakest point
- 10 responses/month on free, logic jumps behind $50 paywall
- Why Peiley
- Same flow + logic jumps for €9.99/mo instead of €25-83/mo
Peiley vs SurveyMonkey
€36/moEnterprise survey tool that holds your free responses hostage
- Strongest point
- Largest enterprise integration catalogue + paid 'audience' marketplace
- Weakest point
- Free = max 25-40 visible responses, CSV export only from €36/mo
- Why Peiley
- All responses + CSV export free, EU-hosted instead of US-Schrems-II
Peiley vs Tally
€29/moModern form-builder with Notion vibes — strong growth since 2023
- Strongest point
- Notion-style `/`-command in the builder (UX favourite)
- Weakest point
- Logic jumps and custom branding from €29/mo only, no date-picker
- Why Peiley
- €9.99/mo instead of €29 for logic + branding, plus date-picker and live polling
Peiley vs Mentimeter
€11.99/moLive polling during presentations — strong in education and events
- Strongest point
- Best live-polling templates for classrooms and webinars
- Weakest point
- Per-presenter pricing, no surveys/date-picker, limited free participants
- Why Peiley
- Live polling + survey + date-picker in one account, no per-user pricing
Peiley vs Google Forms
FreeFree and familiar — but so Google-look it never feels on-brand
- Strongest point
- Deep Google Workspace integration + unlimited free
- Weakest point
- No custom branding, no logic jumps, US-data, basic design
- Why Peiley
- Custom branding + subdomain, GDPR-EU, plus date-picker and live polling
Why Peiley still tends to win overall
- One tool for survey + date-picker + live polling — no other competitor does this
- Cheapest paid tier in its segment — €9.99/mo instead of €25-€36 at survey tools
- EU-hosted on europe-west1 with GDPR DPA by default, no Schrems-II concerns
- Dutch interface, support and NL-first templates — international tools never do this well
- iDEAL and SEPA payments via Mollie — unique in this market
Frequently asked questions
Which tool would you pick if Peiley didn't exist?
Honest answer: pure date-picker → Doodle (with adblocker only). Pretty surveys → Tally on free. Live polling → Mentimeter. Enterprise compliance → SurveyMonkey. None of them cover all three use-cases — which is why we built Peiley.
What does Peiley NOT do that competitors do?
Three honest gaps: (1) we don't have a paid 'audience' marketplace like SurveyMonkey, (2) our integration catalog is smaller than Typeform's (~10 vs 200+), (3) we don't have advanced quiz mechanics like Mentimeter Word Cloud Race. For 95% of use-cases, none of that matters.
Can I switch from a competitor mid-flight?
Yes. Existing links keep working at your old tool; new polls go into Peiley. We natively support CSV import of questions, so an existing Excel questionnaire pastes right in.
How does Peiley make money then?
Via paid tiers (Basic €9.99/mo, Pro €19.99/mo, Custom €40+). The free tier is not a funnel trap — unlimited polls, unlimited responses, all question types. Those who want custom branding, own subdomain or team collaboration pay. That's enough for a healthy, EU-hosted SaaS.
