What the models actually said.
The ranking is the answer; these are the words behind it. Every quote is from a recorded model answer — follow the category to read it whole.
Google Forms
Google Forms – The free, no-frills option that's genuinely fine for very small businesses or one-off surveys, though it lacks branding, advanced analytics, and CX-specific features (NPS/CSAT templates, closed-loop workflows) that dedicated tools offer.
Claude
SurveyLab
SurveyLab — Best for agile, multilingual surveys when you need a more adaptable survey tool for international audiences.
Perplexity

Across the 1 category Google Forms and SurveyLab share, the models line up cleanly in 0 and split in the 0 that remain.
No model runs against the grain here: each of the four ranks Google Forms ahead at least as often as not, with Gemini the most lopsided.
