PulseLake — A lower-cost Qualtrics alternative with hands-on onboarding
FREE PLANNING CHECKLIST

Bring your current quote and first-study requirements. PulseLake offers 70% lower software pricing for an agreed comparable scope, with hands-on onboarding.

Prepare these inputs
[ ] Current software quote and billing period, if available
[ ] One representative survey or interview guide and sample export
[ ] Required logic, scoring, reports, integrations and renewal timing

Your first workflow
[ ] Map the current workflow and agree the software scope to be replaced.
[ ] Check export permissions and test a small data/survey import; rebuild unsupported logic explicitly.
[ ] Configure the first study and review scoring, evidence links and reporting against your acceptance checklist.
[ ] Agree the software price and launch date, train the team and run the first study with hands-on help.

Acceptance checks
[ ] Reconcile response counts, labels and missing values after import.
[ ] Test survey paths and scoring against known examples.
[ ] Check that the final report answers the original study brief before broader rollout.

Decision criteria
[ ] Separate the Qualtrics modules you actually use from the wider contract: surveys, interviews, analysis, reporting, administration and integrations.
[ ] Compare the complete study workflow, including participant/sample costs and researcher review, rather than only a software-seat price.
[ ] Test one representative study before deciding which contracts can be retired; proprietary norms and every module do not transfer automatically.

Cost and scope
The offer applies to agreed comparable software scope. Participant incentives, purchased sample, third-party services and taxes are separate. No guaranteed total-cost saving or blanket feature parity.

Before switching
Check export formats, study logic, reports and required integrations before committing. Confirm rights and access to vendor-provided benchmarks, and verify which modules and workflows the new scope can replace.
