The product-team alternative to Qualtrics
Powerful customer feedback without the enterprise complexity or six-figure contracts
Customer feedback that moves at the speed of your team
Your product team doesn't have months to wait for a research platform rollout, and you shouldn't need a six-figure contract to ask your users what they think. Iterate gets you from signup to live survey in minutes, with the behavioral targeting, integrations, and AI analysis you need to turn qualitative feedback into real product decisions.
Your feedback data, everywhere you need it
Iterate integrates natively with Braze, Iterable, Klaviyo, CleverTap, MoEngage, and more. Survey responses flow directly into the tools your team already uses, so you can trigger follow-up campaigns, update customer profiles, and act on feedback through your existing campaigns.
Turn qualitative feedback into clear insights
Iterate's Insights reports don't just collect responses. They deliver a scheduled briefing on what’s surfacing in your feedback: key takeaways, sentiment shifts, outliers, and clear next steps. No training required, no complex configuration. Pick a cadence and the summary lands in your inbox.
Surveys that look like your product, not a third-party tool
Iterate's surveys are fully customizable to match your brand, your product's visual design, and your user experience. They appear natively inside your app, website, or email, so customers engage with feedback that feels like a natural part of their journey, not a detour to an enterprise survey platform.

- Start with your next research question: Build and launch a survey through self-serve setup.
- Ask after a product interaction: Use behavioral events to reach customers while the experience is fresh.
- Fit feedback into your routine: Choose a reporting cadence that works for your team.

Common questions
Does Qualtrics integrate with Braze or Iterable?
Qualtrics documents no out-of-the-box Braze or Iterable integration. Connecting them requires custom engineering or a third-party connector. Iterate's are first-party and bidirectional: each response returns as a user attribute and a custom event in real time, and surveys can be sent from a Braze Canvas or Iterable Journey with no SDK.
How do cost and setup compare?
Qualtrics is bought through enterprise procurement, typically on multi-year terms. Iterate is self-serve, priced by audience size with unlimited responses, with no per-seat cost and no annual commitment, and a first survey can be live the same day.
What is the difference for mobile teams?
Both platforms offer mobile SDKs. Iterate lets product teams trigger surveys on in-app behavioral events, with responses writing back to Braze and Iterable in real time.
