Alchemer vs Conjointly (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Alchemer if

• Fits if you're a researcher who needs conjoint, card sort or heatmap questions
• Works for teams of one to three building long surveys full of branching, with answers going to Salesforce or HubSpot

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you just want a contact form, since paid plans start at $315 per user a year
• Pricey if you need advanced logic or file uploads, as those start at $1,075 per user a year
• Not for you if there are more than 3 of you, because that means a custom-priced Platform plan
• Tight if you're staying free, with 3 surveys at a time, 100 responses on each and basic question types
• Watch out: the API and single sign-on are Platform only, and kiosk mode and SPSS export need Full Access

Pick Conjointly if

• Fits if you run pricing or concept research and want the methods built in
• Works for teams that share one annual license across members

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you work alone, as Professional is $2,895 a year
• Tight if you stay free, since advanced methods stop at 20 responses
• Watch out: panel respondents cost extra, from a $0.55 minimum bid per complete
• Watch out: purchase-order payment needs Ultimate, $10,000 a year and up
• Watch out: a branded respondent domain is a $3,000 a year add-on

Alchemer

• Professional and Full Access allow at most 3 users; larger teams need a custom-priced Platform plan.
• The pricing page limits API access, single sign-on and security assessments to Platform plans.
• The Free account stops at 3 surveys and 100 responses per survey, with a short list of question types.
• Offline or kiosk mode, SPSS export and the market research question types all require Full Access.

Conjointly

• Panel respondents cost extra: self-serve sample has a minimum bid of $0.55 and an average bid of $1.55 per complete.
• Professional is billed annually by credit card only; purchase-order payment needs Ultimate.
• Basic limits advanced methods to 20 responses, so it suits trials rather than live studies.
• A branded respondent domain is a separate $3,000 per year add-on.
