Thanks for the review and for providing an opportunity for feedback. I am the president of justASKthem.com, the creators of ASK3. You raise some inportant points.

Pricing is an interesting issue. We also do traditional surveys for major corportations. I just received a price from one of the main industry sources of email survey respondents. These are people who have agreed to receive email invitations to take surveys as a part of a market research panel. Their cost to us for 200 completed surveys would be about $1000 for one project. For another project that price rises to $9000 for 400 completed surveys. So, from that perspective 1000 completed surveys for $50 is a huge bargain.

On the other hand we have desgined ASK3 to be used for online ecommerce on sites like eBay. There a cost of even $10 per auction survey seems to be too high.

The balance is, I believe, in the cost per completed survey and in the number of surveys we can host at one time. If we charge by the completed response at, say, $.10 per survey (that's ten cents), then someone using ebay could end up paying $10 for 1000 responses in a month from surveys on 200 web auctions, or about $100 per year for 10,000 survey responses. That is not so bad.

On the other hand, if a major company like Amazon or Google wanted to do the same thing, the survey questionnaire would be customized and we would have to host their surveys on their own exclusive servers, so a higher price would prevail.

So, we are looking into determining what would be a fairer price across the industry.

In the meantime, we are looking for beta testers who would like to try ASK3 for free. At this time you can register on our Website and try ASK3 for a free introductory period or you may email us at info at justASKthem.com and request to become a beta tester. As a beta tester we will be talking much more and we will ask you for regular feedback, but the service will be completely free for the beta test period.

Thanks for reviewing our products.
