Why we make survey software

I’ve been building survey software since 1999.

A lot of the support requests start with an apology. “Sorry for the dumb question.” “I know this is probably obvious, but...”

Those apologies stuck with us. The software had its own way of thinking about surveys. When people couldn’t see it, simple things felt hard — and they assumed the problem was them.

So we set out to make the hard parts easy. We created Candor Surveys for people whose real job isn’t making surveys.

People arrive here needing one survey done. That’s what they get.

Six things we work at every day

Everything makes sense the first time you see it

Plain language everywhere. Guidance appears as you work — before you need to ask for it. If something doesn’t make sense, that’s on us to fix.

Every limit is visible before you start

Costs, constraints, and feature boundaries — all visible before you invest your time. Your first survey is completely free. After that, every price is on our website.

You always know what to do next

Come back after a week or nine months — everything still makes sense. Your recent work is front and center. A clear path from start to finish.

Charts and exports you can hand over

Charts that look clean. Exports that are presentation-ready.

Help is always reachable — and human

When you’re stuck, a real person reads your message and responds. Same business day for most questions.

Cancel anytime

Your surveys and results stay right where they are.

If we’re falling short on any of these, tell us.
