Choose Paperform if

  • You sell products, take subscriptions or bookings, or collect e-signatures through your forms.

  • You share and analyze results: a public report link from Basic, SPSS and Excel export, and an AI report with themes, sentiment and quotes on Premium.
  • You want to catch visitors at the right moment: micro surveys shown after a delay, on scroll, on exit intent (desktop) or on a click, targeted by page and device.

Where SurveyNinja goes further than Paperform

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

A report link you can share

Send a public link to the report, the summary or the responses from Basic. Paperform shares reports by printing them; its help center offers no public report link.

SPSS and Excel export

Download responses as SPSS, CSV, Excel, PDF or Word from Basic. Paperform downloads CSV, and single submissions as PDF or Word.

Research question types

Click tests with heatmaps, pairwise comparison, map questions, area selection, semantic differential and constant sum. Paperform's help center lists 27 field types, including rank, rating, scale and matrix.

Micro surveys with triggers

Show a micro survey after a delay, on scroll, on exit intent (desktop) or on a click, targeted by page and device, on every plan (beta). Paperform's popup opens when a visitor clicks an element or from your own script.

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

Is SurveyNinja cheaper than Paperform?

Up to 20,000 responses a month, yes. On SurveyNinja 100 responses a month are free; Paperform's free plan stops at 30. 1,000 responses cost $10.50/mo on SurveyNinja Basic and $49/mo on Paperform Pro; 5,000 cost $25.90/mo and $49/mo. Paperform Pro has no submission cap within its fair use policy, so its price stays the same as you grow. Prices with yearly billing, checked on October 15, 2026.

Can I move my Paperform forms to SurveyNinja?

Rebuild the survey from a template or with the AI generator; Paperform forms can't be imported directly. Then upload past responses from the CSV file Paperform gives you, on a paid plan, up to 20 MB and 10,000 rows per file. Uploaded responses don't count toward your monthly limit.

What does Paperform have that SurveyNinja doesn't?

Payments, product sales, subscriptions and bookings in forms, calculations, e-signatures with Papersign, workflow automation with Stepper, unlimited users on every plan and SAML single sign-on on Business. SurveyNinja is built for surveys and research: click tests, pairwise comparison, A/B tests, SPSS export, shareable reports and a free plan with more responses.

Is there a free plan and a trial?

Yes. SurveyNinja's Free plan includes 100 responses a month and 3 surveys of up to 10 questions, and you get 14 days of Premium after sign-up, no card required. Paperform's free plan includes 30 submissions a month, and its paid plans have a 7-day trial.

Can I share survey results with my team or a client?

Yes. From Basic you can send a public link to the report, the summary or the responses; on Premium the AI report has its own link and a PDF. Paperform shares results through exports, integrations and printed reports.

Can I run click tests and A/B tests?

Yes. A/B tests of a question or block are on every plan, with a significance test in the report; click tests with heatmaps, area selection and pairwise comparison start on Basic. None of them is among Paperform's field types.

Is SurveyNinja available in Spanish and Portuguese?

Yes. The website, the help center and the survey screens your respondents see are available in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
