Savings estimates are based on actual Forsta Surveys contracts and renewal pricing sourced from real customer agreements (2023–2025). Forsta standard rate of $0.95/complete and high-volume rate of $0.70/complete reflect signed contracts reviewed by QuestionPro. The 5% annual renewal uplift is drawn directly from Forsta's standard renewal clause. QuestionPro Research Suite platform pricing is derived from QuestionPro's published enterprise pricing and sales playbook benchmarks. Actual pricing for both platforms varies by program scope, contract term, seat count, and negotiation. A QuestionPro representative will provide a written quote during your demo.
