Survicate vs Respondent

From $114 per month (annual billing, Growth)

From $40 per B2C session at pay-as-you-go, plus the incentive you set

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.

Session fees are $40 B2C and $80 B2B at pay-as-you-go, falling about 30% on a large annual commitment, with a further discount for unmoderated studies. You are only charged for completed sessions — no-shows and screen-outs are free. Incentives are separate and you fund them: $100-$400 per professional B2B participant is normal, on top of the session fee.

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

No subscription required; pay per completed session.

• 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.

• Reaches professional segments that general panels simply do not contain.
• Verification meaningfully reduces participants misrepresenting their role.
• No subscription commitment.

• 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.

• Expensive per participant once incentives are included.
• Recruitment only, no research tooling.
• Some fraudulent participation persists despite verification.

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

B2B product teams that need to talk to specific professional roles.
