# QuestionPunk vs Alchemer

Canonical page: https://www.questionpunk.com/compare/alchemer

Alchemer’s self-serve plans start at $55 per user a month, or $315 per user a year, for 75,000 responses a year. QuestionPunk’s free plan has unlimited surveys and responses, and Pro is $50 a month, not per seat.

## The short answer

Alchemer is a survey platform with 400+ integrations, MaxDiff and conjoint on Full Access, and no overage charges when you pass a response limit. For teams that need advanced logic, piping and report exports, it is built for that work. QuestionPunk is newer and narrower: AI follow-ups built into every plan, voice interviews, automatic analysis, and prices that are not per seat.

## Where QuestionPunk wins

### Follow-ups on every plan

AI follow-ups are part of every plan. On the standard models they use no AI credits, and no API key of your own.

### Voice interviews

Respondents answer out loud in 25 languages while the AI asks follow-ups.

### Not priced per seat

Pro is $50 a month or $500 a year, and colleagues join at no extra cost.

## Where Alchemer wins

Alchemer lists 400+ systems and unlimited integrations at every tier.

### Research question types

MaxDiff, choice-based conjoint and card sorting on Full Access, with SPSS export.

### No overage charges
