Delighted has shut down. Qualtrics acquired Delighted and retired the platform in early 2026. If you're still looking for a replacement, you're in the right place.

The best Delighted alternative for small business

Delighted kept things simple but limited you to a single question. Responsly gives you NPS, CSAT, and CES — plus full surveys, AI analytics, and Google Sheets sync — starting at $49/month.

"Delighted was great for NPS but we needed more. Responsly does everything Delighted did — plus multi-question surveys, AI analysis, and WhatsApp — all for less."

Sophie R.

Head of CX

"When Delighted announced shutdown we were panicking. We migrated to Responsly in a week and within a month we couldn't imagine going back to how limited Delighted was."

Product Lead at Dombi

Better Google Sheets integration than Delighted ever had

Delighted's Google Sheets integration was one-way and basic — export only. Responsly's integration syncs responses in real time, supports filtering and segmentation, and works alongside Zapier and the full Google Workspace suite.

Delighted Google Sheets

  • ✗ Export only — no live sync
  • ✗ Manual trigger required
  • ✗ No filtering or segmentation
  • ✗ Platform no longer available

Responsly Google Sheets

  • ✓ Real-time response sync
  • ✓ Automatic on every submission
  • ✓ Filter by survey, tag, or date
  • ✓ Works with Zapier + full API

Delighted shut down. Now what?

Qualtrics acquired Delighted and then retired the platform entirely. If you're looking for a replacement, Responsly is the most direct upgrade — same simplicity for NPS/CSAT/CES, but with far more capability when you need it.

Qualtrics is what they'd push you to instead

Built for enterprise researchers, not CX teams

Qualtrics — the company that acquired and shut down Delighted — wants you on their platform. It's powerful, sure. But it takes weeks to learn, costs a fortune, and is not something your team will enjoy opening every morning. Responsly is.

Survey fatigue starts with ugly surveys

Qualtrics forms feel like a research paper. Responsly's modern, mobile-first surveys look great on every device — and people actually want to complete them.
