Frequently Asked Questions
One buying option is only available online, with a limit of 1,000 responses shared across all users. The other option is for customers who anticipate needing a higher volume of responses or interactions and will need to contact sales for pricing.
You will always have the option to upgrade your trial with a credit card, directly from your account. If you do not upgrade, after 30 days your trial account will be automatically downgraded to the Qualtrics Surveys free account. You will retain access to your surveys or responses, but will lose access to more premium Strategic Research features, such as advanced question types and advanced analytics, among others.
The Qualtrics Surveys free account is designed for simple surveying, or a very basic introduction to Qualtrics’ XM platform. The Strategic Research trial is time-limited and expires after 30 days, but during the free trial period, users will have access to a wider selection of premium Strategic Research features and XM platform capabilities, including but not limited to advanced question types and advanced analytics.
The online-only buying option is for customers who will need no more than 1,000 responses shared across all users. If you anticipate you will need more than 1,000 responses, our Sales team can help you find the right plan to meet your research needs.
If you sign up for a Qualtrics Surveys free account, you will still have the option to temporarily upgrade to the 30-day Strategic Research trial from within your account. You will also have the option to purchase an online-only Strategic Research plan from within your account, with a credit card.
