Mindset Engage EX vs Qualtrics

Mindset Engage EX helps organizations measure employee engagement, examine its drivers, and use survey results to guide action. It supports surveys and assessments for engagement, inclusion, wellbeing, lifecycle pulses, and 360 leadership feedback. Its dashboard compares results in real time across business units, teams, and demographic groups. Participants may receive personalized engagement reports, while leaders can use recommendations tailored to their roles. Virtual Structures supports surveys across different organizational and hybrid structures. The platform is Microsoft Teams certified for employee and pulse surveys. Its Lifecycle Plan can use SFTP connections to HR systems to trigger targeted lifecycle surveys; API interfaces are quoted separately. Mindset says the software-as-a-service suite is hosted on Amazon Web Services. Access is available through web and API, while participation is also supported on desktop, mobile, and kiosks. Free access is offered for up to 30 participants, including custom employee and pulse surveys. Paid plans have 12-month terms, but prices are provided on request.

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.
