The short answer

Zoho Survey is inexpensive, with unlimited responses on its annual Plus, Pro and Enterprise plans, offline collection from Basic up, and translation into 90+ languages on Pro and Enterprise. For straightforward surveys on a small budget, it is a good fit. QuestionPunk adds what a standard survey tool leaves out: AI follow-ups on open answers, voice interviews, and a written report with themes and quotes.
