Your whole study as Python code
Every Save versions the project and writes readable Python for the questionnaire and each analysis flow. Download it, read it and run it outside Studio, on every plan.
Compare survey platforms
An alternative to Qualtrics, SurveyMonkey and Alchemer.
Siamang Studio builds surveys and analyzes the responses in one place. Crosstabs with significance tests, weighting, regression and reports are part of every plan, and one price covers the whole organization, not each seat.
Studio highlights
The features that set Studio apart.
All six come with Plus at $25 a month for the whole organization, and most of them are on Free too.
A research bundle with a DOI
Data, code, a draft Methods section, provenance and a script that reruns the numbers, in one zip. Deposit it to Zenodo with a DOI, or to OSF, straight from the project history.
Weighting and banner tables built in
Rake or cell-weight to population targets, then run banner tables with significance letters on the effective base and export the tab book to Excel.
Market research methods, no add-ons
MaxDiff, conjoint with a share simulator, key driver analysis, TURF, Van Westendorp and Gabor-Granger are part of every plan, next to regression and factor analysis.
Move in and out freely
Import Qualtrics .qsf and LimeSurvey .lss files. Export SPSS and Stata files with value labels and missing codes, or CSV, Excel and Parquet, on every plan.
One price for the whole team
Plus is $25 a month for your organization, with up to 15 members and unlimited responses. No per-seat fees and no charge for extra responses.
Feature by feature.
Everything in the Studio column comes with Plus, at $25 a month for the whole organization and up to 15 members, and all of it but the unlimited responses is on Free too. For each other platform, the table names the plan you would need, as its own pricing and help pages describe it. Those plans are priced per user or per year.

A plan name: the feature is there only on that plan or higher. Paid plans: not on the free plan. ✗: not available. An empty cell: not documented by the vendor. SurveyMonkey's own guide limits weighting to five questions. Last reviewed October 18, 2026.
How the pricing models differ.
Most survey platforms charge per user or per year and cap the responses each plan includes. Studio has one monthly price for the whole organization.

A Qualtrics alternative with monthly plans.
The Qualtrics free account has no crosstabs, Stats iQ or Text iQ, allows three active surveys and no email invitations, and the self-serve research plan is billed annually, up front. In Studio, the Free plan already has crosstabs with significance tests, weighting, MaxDiff, conjoint, open-text coding and SPSS and Stata export, and paid plans are monthly, for the whole organization.
A SurveyMonkey alternative with research analysis built in.
SurveyMonkey keeps statistical significance, MaxDiff and SPSS export for paid plans, sells key driver analysis as an add-on and leaves regression and factor analysis to other software. Team plans are priced per user, and on paid plans responses over the limit are billed one by one. Studio has these methods on every plan, unlimited responses on Plus and Pro, and one price for the organization.
An Alchemer alternative with every method on every plan.
Alchemer keeps SPSS export, crosstabs and conjoint for its Full Access license, and has no built-in weighting or regression and no tool to import a survey from another platform. Studio includes crosstabs, weighting, regression, conjoint and SPSS export on every plan, and imports Qualtrics and LimeSurvey files.
A QuestionPro alternative priced per organization.
QuestionPro keeps significance tests on crosstabs, weighting, MaxDiff and conjoint for its research licenses. In Studio they are on every plan, Free included, and one subscription covers the organization instead of each user.
A Typeform alternative for survey research.
Typeform has no crosstabs with significance tests, weighting, MaxDiff or conjoint, and its plans set monthly response limits across all your forms: at the limit, your forms close until the next month. Studio is built for studies: a codebook with value labels, SPSS and Stata export, and the analysis in the same project.
A LimeSurvey alternative with the analysis built in.
LimeSurvey's built-in statistics have no crosstabs, weighting, regression or open-text coding. Studio keeps all of them next to the questionnaire and imports your .lss files.
A Google Forms alternative when a survey becomes a study.
Google Forms has no crosstabs, significance tests, weighting or SPSS export, and no codebook with value labels. Studio adds quotas, piping, separate pilot and main fieldwork and the full analysis toolkit, free for up to 1,000 responses per project.
Moving your surveys across.
Import Qualtrics .qsf, LimeSurvey .lss and SurveyJS files. Start on the Free plan or with 30 days of Pro, no credit card needed. Data exports to CSV, Excel, SPSS, Stata and Parquet on every plan, so you can always take it with you.
Switching questions
Before you switch.
How does Studio's pricing compare with Qualtrics, SurveyMonkey or Alchemer?
Studio has one monthly price for the whole organization: $25 a month on Plus and $99 a month on Pro, with team members and the full analysis included. SurveyMonkey's team plans and Alchemer's licenses are priced per user, so their cost grows with each colleague. Qualtrics sells a self-serve research plan billed annually, with a fixed response allowance, and quotes larger plans. In Studio a new colleague is not a new seat, up to 15 members on Plus and without a limit on Pro.
Can I import surveys from Qualtrics or LimeSurvey?
Yes. Studio imports Qualtrics .qsf, LimeSurvey .lss and SurveyJS files, as well as questionnaire.json. Anything it cannot convert is listed for review.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The Free plan has no time limit and includes every question type, the analysis toolkit and all exports, for 2 projects, 2 members and 1,000 responses per project. New accounts also get 30 days of Pro free.
Do you offer academic pricing?
There is no separate academic discount. The plans are the same for everyone, and a lab or department can share one organization subscription.
Is Studio ready for my study?
Studio is in open beta, and everything on this page works today. New accounts get 30 days of Pro free, so you can run a real study on the full toolkit before you choose a plan.
