Lyssna vs Survicate

From $166 per month (Growth, billed annually)

From $114 per month (annual billing, Growth)

Growth buys 5 in-depth studies a month, 5 seats and unlimited self-recruited responses. Panel responses are purchased separately per participant, typically a low single-digit dollar amount for general audiences.

Billed on monthly survey responses, so the cost rises exactly when a survey is working. Seats and integration count are gated by tier as well, which is what usually forces the upgrade rather than the response cap.

Free plan: unlimited quick studies, 3 seats and 15 self-recruited responses.

10-day trial, no card. No permanently free tier.

• Extremely fast — a first-click test can be designed, run and answered inside an hour.
• Cheap enough to use for routine design decisions rather than special projects.
• Simple test types that non-researchers can run correctly.

• One survey, every channel — web, in-product, email, mobile and link — with the answers pooled rather than siloed per tool.
• Event-triggered in-product surveys catch people at the moment the behaviour happened.
• CRM and support integrations attach responses to a real customer record instead of an anonymous id.

• Narrow: it answers specific comparative questions, not exploratory ones.
• No moderated sessions.
• Panel is general-population; niche B2B audiences are hard to reach.

• Priced by responses, which penalises the surveys that get answered.
• It collects opinions, not observed behaviour; pair it with replay or analytics rather than reading it alone.
• Survey fatigue is a real cost to your product, and nothing in the tool stops you over-asking.

Design teams that want quick evidence for everyday interface decisions.

Product teams that want the 'why' behind an analytics drop-off without commissioning a research study.
