The Enterprise Trap

Survey software isn't research software.

The Logic Builder Tax

Alchemer's advanced branching, piping, and workflow features are powerful — if you're a survey methodologist. For founders who need answers, it's overkill. You spend hours building logic instead of getting insights.

The Recruitment Gap

Alchemer builds beautiful surveys. It doesn't find respondents. You still need to recruit, buy panels, or beg your email list. The platform solves distribution, not the audience problem.

The Enterprise Pricing Wall

Alchemer starts at $3,500/year for basic features. Advanced logic, API access, and enterprise support cost significantly more. For startups, that's a research budget that could fund 3 months of TestSynthia.
