Qualaroo vs Survey Solutions

Qualaroo gathers customer insights and contextual feedback through in-app surveys called Nudges. Teams can use it to study website and app experiences, collect product feedback, investigate conversion issues and look for ways to improve user experience. Nudges support targeting, branching logic, triggers, branding, more than 10 question types and surveys in 100+ languages. Heatmaps and session recordings show clicks, scrolling and drop-off behavior alongside feedback. For free-text responses, Qualaroo lists IBM Watson sentiment analysis, word clouds and reporting tools. Its iOS and Android SDKs support in-app feedback, and integrations include Salesforce, Tableau, Intercom, Zapier, Slack, HubSpot, Mailchimp, Google Analytics and webhooks. A free plan includes 50 responses, 500 email sends and 10k pageviews; Essentials costs $39.99 a month. The 14-day trial includes Essentials and Premium features, but CSV response downloads and branding suppression require a paid plan. Qualaroo lists live chat support 24/7, weekday phone support and email responses within one business day.

Survey Solutions is free survey data collection software developed in the World Bank’s Data group. Its Questionnaire Designer supports multilingual forms, collaboration, online and tablet testing, compiler guidance, and formatted PDF output.

GIS tools support collecting location, distance, and area data, geofencing, and offline interviewer guidance using satellite images and GPS. REST APIs support custom dashboards, reports, external database connections, and automated quality controls; its R package covers almost all API calls. Server components can be deployed on premises or in the cloud using documented Docker, AWS, Azure, and Windows Server options. The free server and tablet components are available as downloads, with no use restrictions for public or private companies. Users provide their own tablets and server hosting. Self-hosted administrators handle backups, updates, and ongoing maintenance. The software is listed for Android, API, Linux, self-hosted, web, and Windows.
