What Is AskNicely?
AskNicely is a customer experience platform designed for multi-location, service-oriented businesses. Founded in New Zealand, the platform focuses on Net Promoter Score (NPS) as its primary metric, helping companies measure customer loyalty and drive frontline employee coaching based on feedback data.
The platform delivers surveys via email, SMS, web, and in-app channels, visualizing results in real-time dashboards. What sets AskNicely apart is its focus on closing the loop: the system connects customer feedback to specific employees and locations, enabling managers to coach their teams on improving the customer experience.
AskNicely serves enterprise clients across industries like home services, healthcare, property management, and financial services. With pricing starting at $399–$449/mo and plans designed for teams of 10+ users, it’s positioned firmly in the enterprise market. Smaller businesses or those looking specifically for in-person feedback collection may find the platform’s scope and cost beyond their needs.
