Which one is right for you

Choose Jotform if

  • You take payments or collect e-signatures inside forms, or build approval workflows.
  • You need one form in several languages, or HIPAA features on the Gold plan.

Choose SurveyNinja if

  • Your form fills up fast: 1,000 responses a month cost $10.50/mo here and $34/mo on Jotform, 5,000 cost $25.90/mo and $99/mo, billed yearly.
  • Several people work on your surveys: Standard includes 3 users and Premium 5. On Jotform, every plan below Enterprise has one user.
  • You ask research questions a form can't: click tests with heatmaps, pairwise comparison, map questions, area selection on images and A/B tests of question wording.
  • You want to catch visitors on your site: micro surveys shown after a delay, on scroll, on exit intent (desktop) or on a click, targeted by page and device (beta).
  • You analyze data in SPSS or want your own domain without an Enterprise contract: SPSS export on every plan, including Free, and your own domain on Premium at $48.30/mo.

Where SurveyNinja goes further than Jotform

Features that matter for research and analysis, with the plan they are on.

A team without Enterprise

Standard at $25.90/mo includes 3 users, Premium 5 with custom roles and folder access. Jotform's Starter, Bronze, Silver and Gold are single-user plans.

SPSS export

Open your data straight in SPSS: .sav export on every plan, including Free, next to CSV, Excel, PDF and Word. Jotform downloads CSV, Excel and PDF.

Research question types

Click tests with heatmaps, pairwise comparison with a win matrix, area selection, semantic differential and constant sum from Basic. Jotform offers rating fields, input tables and ranking widgets.

A/B tests built in

Show two versions of a question's wording to different respondents, 50/50 by default, on any plan. From Standard, the report shows which one more people complete and marks the leader with its confidence level. Jotform's A/B guide uses two separate forms on two versions of a web page.

Edit surveys on your phone or your laptop

The whole builder works on a phone: questions, logic, design, publishing and responses. Fix a question on the way to a meeting, check new answers from the couch and finish the survey on your laptop.

  • Every section and setting fits a small screen
  • Logic, design and publishing, not a cut-down view
  • Pick up on your laptop right where you left off

Test designs, rank ideas and ask visitors on your website from the same survey builder.

Micro surveys on your site
