Looks great. I think the price is right. The website is very clear. Maybe the examples should be more business oriented. You should also include the time frame to get the 50 answers: 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week?

Can we choose, or at least influence the demography (only women, only people below 35, etc.)?

Thanks. Good point about more business-oriented examples. The time frame varies since it depends on the people answering the question, but it's usually within a couple hours - good idea to note that on the site.

Unfortunately, can't choose demography but we try to break out the responses in a bunch of different ways so you can visually filter which demographic you're interested in.

another one of the creators here, thanks for the warm comments.

a follow-up question - how much more compelling would this be if you could choose/influence the demographics and # of responses (potentially at a higher cost)?

Nice site. Clear goals. One suggestion: Why limit at 50 responses? What if I want more than 50 people to participate in the survey/market research? Can I setup something? It wasn't obvious from the web site.

It's limited mainly for simplicity. Since it's intended to be a cheap and quick answer, we figured $5 and 50 questions seemed reasonable for most. Perhaps we can keep the standard, advertised solution at 50 for $5 but when you buy offer the option to upgrade to more questions.

Currently no, you can't set up a higher # of responses.

We found that 50 responses offers a good set of opinions without taking too long to finish. What are some other options you'd like to see?

I personally think $5 is a great price point, but would make 3 tiers of plans.

1) Free, limited number of responses (maybe 5/month?), ad supported.

2) $5, Unlimited number of responses, no ads.

3) Skinable version for companies, allows them to manage questions/responses asked by employees.
