6Q vs Qualtrics

6Q uses six-question surveys to collect employee feedback and measure team mood. Survey creators can choose anonymous or individual surveys, use more than 200 professional questions, or write custom ones. Polls can be scheduled every 1, 2, 4, or 13 weeks at a chosen day and time. Email summaries and detailed web reports can be viewed, printed, or exported. Teams, locations, and departments can be grouped to compare moods, and employees can thank peers through High Fives, which has a leaderboard. The service is web-based. Its free plan supports up to 5 users; the 10 Team plan costs $9 per month for up to 10 users, and 50 Team costs $49 per month for up to 50 users. Custom enterprise plans are available for larger teams, with price not listed, and a free trial is offered. The pricing page says polls and reports are delivered over secure SSL and poll data is not shared with third parties. Support includes email and a knowledge base; enterprise customers can access telephone support during business hours.
