Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Formation at 4.5 against Good Survey's 2.5. Formation also leads on review sentiment (60% vs 38%) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). Good Survey's advantage is price ($1.99 vs $2.99). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
