Qualtrics
There is no meaningful single “model consensus,” but the recurring safe recommendations are SurveyMonkey, Qualtrics, Typeform, and Alchemer; my genuine default recommendation for most real buyers is SurveyMonkey, unless you have an enterprise-scale VoC program or a specific in-product/privacy requirement.
