Pro

Sign-up for free! Helio’s Pro account let’s you explore the platform and even get feedback on your surveys without paying a dime.

With a Pro account, you can set up surveys for free and send them out one at a time. Our Open Audience surveys can be used to produce link that you can send to your own participants. The first 50 responses on each survey are free using an Open Audience link. If you’d like more responses on your Open Audience survey, you can then purchase to unlock more in $50 increments.

If you’re looking to tap into Our Participants, you can do so with a Targeted Audience. Test with a completely random sample, or select from up to five demographic targets, including gender, age, income, education, and location. Each survey sent to a Targeted Audience will collect 100 responses. If you’d like more responses, you can purchase an additional 100 after it has been sent. Testing with a Targeted Audience starts at $199 if you don’t select any demographic criteria. Tests sent to specific demographic targets cost $399.

Business

Business plans are great for teams who want to try out Helio with a lighter commitment and need a bit of user feedback to drive their decision making.

What you get with a Business Plan:

  • Access to Ready-Made Audiences
  • Use of Helio’s Branching, Replies, and Prototypes Testing features
  • User seats for you and your team members

There are 3 Business Plans to choose from: Starter, Standard, and Plus.

Each Business Plan gives you a upper limit of audiences, user seats, and answers. If your team believes they’ll reach that limit for any given month, you can always upgrade your plan to account for more tests or more participants.

To purchase a Business Plan, select Upgrade Plan on the Billing page of your account. The following screen will appear with a payment breakdown and form to enter your credit card information.

A 10% discount is provided up front for yearly plan purchases. To go one month at a time, deselect the purple 10% discount toggle in the Subscription Plan box.

Once you’ve entered your credit card information and checked the agreement box for Terms and Conditions, you’re ready to upgrade your account. Select ‘Update Plan’ and your account will be automatically upgraded and stocked with the answers, audiences, and user seats you’ve selected.
