• Quantitative UX metrics

Less suited when:

• You need post-launch in-product surveys

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Sprig more expensive?

Sprig includes AI-powered analysis of open-ended responses and session replays tied to surveys. Alternatives lack these features. You’re paying for research infrastructure, not just survey collection.

Which alternative is cheapest?

Hotjar at $32/mo includes surveys alongside behavior analytics. Survicate at $89/mo is survey-focused but cheaper than Sprig.

Can I get session replays with surveys?

Sprig and Hotjar both offer session replays with surveys. Survicate and Maze don’t include session recording.

What’s the difference between Sprig and Maze?

Timing. Sprig is post-launch (surveys in production product). Maze is pre-launch (prototype testing before you build). Complementary, not competing.
