Tally collects answers for free, but its charts stay inside your dashboard: they can't be shared or exported. SurveyNinja sends your team or client a report link from Basic at $10.50/mo, writes an AI report from open answers on Premium and exports to SPSS. You also get click tests, pairwise comparison and A/B tests of question wording, none of them in Tally's question list.
Free plan with 100 responses a month and 14 days of Premium. No card required.
Prices and features checked on October 15, 2026.
Features that matter for research and analysis, with the plan they are on.
Send a public link to the report, the summary or the responses from Basic. Tally's Insights are visible only in the creator's dashboard; to share them, Tally suggests screenshots or a CSV file.
Download responses as SPSS, CSV, Excel, PDF or Word from Basic. Tally downloads submissions as CSV and single submissions as PDF.
Themes, sentiment, quotes and group comparison, with a shareable link and PDF, on Premium at $48.30/mo. Tally's help center doesn't document AI analysis of responses.
Owner, admin and member roles, plus custom roles with folder access on Premium. In a Tally organization, every member can create, edit and delete any form they can see.
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.
Test designs, rank ideas and ask visitors on your website from the same survey builder.
Paste one code and show a short survey in a corner card or modal: after a delay, on scroll, on exit intent (desktop) or on a click. Choose pages and devices and limit how often visitors see it.
Upload a mockup or a screenshot and ask where people would click. The report shows a heatmap of all clicks.
Respondents choose between two options at a time; the adaptive mode drops weak options early. The report ranks items with a win matrix.
Show different versions of a question to different respondents and compare completion and answers by version, with a significance test.
Respondents drop pins on a map: where they live, shop or travel. See the answers as a map and a list of places.
Mark zones on an image and let respondents pick them, with scores and logic like any answer option.
Each cell shows whether the feature exists and the plan it starts on.
