Qualtrics is consolidating products into its enterprise suite. Delighted sunsets on June 30, 2026. If you are planning your switch, contact us for migration help.
Most teams are live in 15-30 minutes. You can create, brand, and launch surveys without engineering work. You can start instantly on the free plan.
Yes. Elvan includes native Zendesk integration for post-resolution CSAT on eligible plans. See the Zendesk integration page for more information.
Yes, and when you do, you'll notice what's different. Elvan supports every survey type Delighted had: NPS, CSAT, CES, PMF, eNPS, 5-star, thumbs, and smileys. Same rating scales, same follow-up prompts, same delivery channels.
Open your Delighted surveys in one tab and Elvan's builder in another. Most teams have everything rebuilt in under 30 minutes. But here's what changes: every response that comes in from that point gets analyzed by AI automatically. You're not just recreating Delighted. You're replacing it with something better.
Technically, until June 30, 2026. But the smarter question is: why wait? Your surveys stop working the moment Delighted shuts off, with no warning and no grace period after the deadline.
And Delighted has been in feature freeze since the announcement, which means every day you stay is a day on a platform that isn't getting better. Migrating now means you're running on something actively improving. The migration itself takes under an hour. The risk of waiting is much higher than the effort of switching. You can begin on the free plan or book migration help.
Absolutely, and that's exactly how we'd recommend doing it. Spin up Elvan on the free plan today, recreate your most important survey, and run both in parallel for a week or two.
Use that overlap to get your team familiar with Elvan's interface and AI summaries before making the full switch. By the time you migrate the rest of your surveys, the platform already feels familiar. No technical conflict, no disruption to existing data collection, and the free plan covers the entire overlap period without paying for two tools at once.
