1000minds vs Qualtrics

1000minds provides software for decision-making, conjoint analysis, discrete choice experiments, and preferences research. Its patented PAPRIKA method asks participants to compare pairs of partial profiles, then adapts later questions to their earlier answers. Users can create and tailor a decision model, run it individually, with a group, or as a survey, and examine results with graphical and analytical tools. An AI assistant can help build models and generate ideas while the user remains in control. The conjoint and DCE platform supports surveys of up to 5,000 people, and the research platform plan includes unlimited surveys. The software can be combined with research survey panels and other survey tools; bespoke integration and development services can help connect outputs to applications or wider systems. The maker identifies 1000minds as SOC 2 and GDPR compliant and offers an EU application instance for EU data storage and processing. It offers a free personalized onboarding call and expert support, with on-call consultations for some packages. Founded in 2003 and headquartered in Dunedin, New Zealand, the company describes use across government, business, nonprofit, health, academia, and consulting.

Qualtrics provides survey tools and an experience-management platform called XM Data & AI, which combines experience data with human context to support decisions and outcomes. Its free Qualtrics Surveys account is for one user and allows three active surveys, 30 questions per survey and 500 total responses. It includes skip, display and branch logic. The Strategic Research plan costs $420.00 per month, billed as $5,040 annually, for 1,000 responses shared across users; it also supports unlimited users and surveys, and includes 23 question types. A 30-day Strategic Research trial provides access to most premium features, with some restrictions; without an upgrade, it downgrades to the free account. Paid plans include more than 20 guided research solutions and advanced analysis such as crosstabs, statistical tools and generative-AI video summaries. Surveys support more than 70 languages, while dashboards support 24. Data exports include CSV, TSV, Excel and SPSS, among other formats. Qualtrics offers API access. Its Strategic Research Custom plan is for enterprise organizations needing higher response volumes, with pricing based on interactions and 5,000 or more responses.
