VSIterate vs Delighted comparison

A new home for your customer feedback

Keep asking the questions your team relies on. Iterate supports NPS, CSAT, and CES surveys, with hands-on help to recreate your survey flows and connect them to the tools you already use.

Room to grow your research program

Go beyond a score with custom forms, matrix questions, and branching logic. Ask follow-up questions that help explain a rating, or trigger a survey after a specific product interaction while the experience is still fresh.

Put each answer to work

Trigger surveys from Braze and Iterable campaigns, embed feedback in Shopify Checkout, and sync responses back into your engagement platforms in real time. Use an answer to update a customer profile or start a follow-up campaign, so feedback reaches the people who can act on it.

Why choose Iterate

  • Support through the transition: Work with our team to recreate your surveys and configure integrations.
  • Make sense of open-ended answers: Research Assistant helps surface themes, sentiment, and outliers in your feedback.
  • Keep the experience familiar: Customize surveys to match your brand across web, email, and native mobile apps.

Common questions

Can I move my NPS program from Delighted?

Our team can help recreate your survey flows, cadence, and integrations. If you have historical exports, discuss them with us when planning the transition so we can establish what can be carried over.

Can I collect feedback in a native mobile app?

Yes. Iterate offers native iOS and Android SDKs for surveys triggered by in-app events. You can ask for feedback while the customer is using your product.

How is Iterate priced?

Plans are priced by audience size, with unlimited responses and no per-seat cost. Collecting more answers or adding teammates does not increase the price for the same audience size.

Ready to make the switch?

Bring your feedback program to Iterate. Our team will help you plan the transition, set up your surveys, and connect the answers to your next customer conversation.
