Move from data to decisions faster with BlockSurvey's AI-powered surveys. Run ethical research backed by privacy protection that is built in from the start.
Our Verdict
Alchemer's per-user pricing and steep learning curve make it a costly, complex choice for growing teams. BlockSurvey gives you AI-powered surveys with true end-to-end encryption (even we can't read your responses) at transparent pricing, with no 3-user tier caps and no escalating per-seat fees.

Why Teams Are Leaving Alchemer
01
Per-user pricing that escalates fast, from $55 to $275 per user, per month, with multiple reviewers citing steep recent price increases without proportional new features
02
Professional and Full Access plans cap at a maximum of 3 users per plan; growing past that requires a custom-quoted Business/Platform plan with no public pricing
03
The free plan hard-caps at 100 responses per survey (extra responses are collected but locked/uninspectable until you upgrade), plus only 3 surveys and email campaigns capped at 5 contacts
04
Phone support is gated behind the Professional tier and up, so base Collaborator-tier customers get email-only support
05
No structured, re-importable export of your own survey's design or logic. Alchemer's help docs confirm there's no tool to import a survey from another platform into Alchemer, and no equivalent way to export an Alchemer survey's structure back out, only raw response data (CSV/Excel/SPSS/PDF)
06
Long-time users who remember the tool as SurveyGizmo report support quality and reliability declining since the Alchemer rebrand, alongside a steep learning curve and dated UI/UX
