CSConjoint Survey
Compare/Qualtrics Alternative for Academic Research

A Qualtrics Alternative Built for Academic Research

Conjoint Survey is for researchers who need to build field-ready studies quickly without enterprise procurement, complex licensing, or weeks of setup. It focuses on the workflows most social scientists actually need: survey experiments, conjoint designs, respondent URLs, clean exports, balance checks, and publication-ready documentation.

Best For

  • Faculty, graduate students, and research teams who need a serious study online quickly.
  • Projects using Prolific, MTurk, email lists, classroom samples, LMS links, or panel vendors.
  • Researchers who want fewer menus and more immediate methods, exports, and diagnostics.

Why Researchers Choose It

Academic workflow first

The product is organized around IRB packets, preregistration, balance tables, AMCE/ATE estimates, and replication files.

Simple fielding

Every study gets a respondent URL that can be sent through panels, listservs, course systems, or email.

Transparent pricing

The launch plan is intentionally simple: one free real pilot, then a One-Time Payment for full exports, larger fielding, and repeated work.

Questions Researchers Ask

Is this a full enterprise survey suite?

No. It is intentionally focused on academic research workflows that need rigorous design, randomization, fielding, exports, and documentation without enterprise complexity.

Can I use it with respondent panels?

Yes. Studies can capture URL parameters from Prolific, MTurk, Qualtrics links, LMS systems, email lists, and panel vendors.

Can it serve as the main tool for many academic projects?

For many survey experiments, conjoint studies, questionnaires, and text-response experiments, yes. Specialized institutional workflows may still require an enterprise platform.
