Comparison

SurveyNinja vs SurveySparrow: 5,000 responses a month at $25.90/mo instead of $275/mo

SurveySparrow counts responses by the year: Business at $79/mo gives 36,000, so a steady 5,000 a month means the 60,000 tier at $275/mo. SurveyNinja Standard covers 5,000 every month for $25.90/mo, and Free gives 100 a month instead of 75 a quarter. SPSS export is on every plan, including Free, and click tests with heatmaps start on Basic; SurveySparrow keeps both for Enterprise.

Free plan with 100 responses a month and 14 days of Premium. No card required.

Where SurveyNinja goes further than SurveySparrow

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

Limits that renew every month

Your allowance resets each month: 1,000 responses on Basic, 5,000 on Standard, 20,000 on Premium. SurveySparrow counts a year or a quarter at a time, and more responses mean a pricier tier or a custom plan.

SPSS export on every plan

Hand your analyst an SPSS .sav file on any plan, including Free, along with CSV, Excel, PDF and Word. On SurveySparrow, SPSS export is Enterprise only.

Micro surveys on every plan

One code on your site shows a short survey by page and device, after a delay, on scroll, on exit intent (desktop) or on a click, on every plan, in beta. SurveySparrow's SpotChecks are an Enterprise add-on.

Your own domain without Enterprise

Run surveys on your own domain on Premium at $48.30/mo. On SurveySparrow, a custom domain comes with URL white labelling on Enterprise.

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
