Surveys should be 100% free, no gotchas

Hats off to Hotjar. They built a quality product suite and popularized the on-site survey popup, bringing awareness to how important it is to gather rich, qualitative feedback. But candidly, Hotjar has moved upmarket and has priced out the majority of the market who need a surveying tool. We get it — things change once you get acquired. You have to raise prices and focus on making investors happy. But is that what’s best for customers?

Whether you’re a UX researcher or marketer, selling products or services, running NPS or post-purchase surveys… we’re dedicated to helping you keep your finger on the pulse and connect with your customers like never before.

Surveys is 100% free no matter how much traffic you have or how many responses you gather.

Customer testimonials

"Crazy Egg Surveys are a simple way to ask questions of users without spending any developer time configuring pop ups."

Kristen Carney

Co-founder, Cubit Planning

"Crazy Egg Surveys stands out as an exceptionally straightforward tool that offers superior value and just the right degree of customization. Including some neat platform extras on the side."

Crazy Egg, the original creator of the on-site popup survey

Would you believe us if we told you that Surveys was actually conceived 14 years ago? Flashback to 2009: We launched KISSinsights as a sister tool to KISSmetrics. We ended up selling it to Sean Ellis, who rebranded it to Qualaroo and grew it into the behemoth that it is today.

Fast forward to today… we couldn’t help but notice that all these companies providing the same on-site surveying capabilities we pioneered were all moving upmarket and greatly limiting what people got for free.

We believe everyone deserves an on-site surveying tool that can be used by anyone, for free, no matter how many page views or responses you get.
