Common questions
How much integration setup is involved?
Iterate writes each response back as a user attribute and a custom event without per-question field mapping. Survicate uses explicit question-to-attribute mapping, which you define and maintain as surveys change. This is worth considering if your team runs many surveys through its engagement platform.
Can I collect feedback in a native mobile app?
Yes. Iterate offers native iOS and Android SDKs plus a React Native SDK, with event-based triggering. Both platforms support native mobile surveys; compare the supported frameworks with the ones your app uses.
How does survey pricing differ?
Iterate prices by audience size with unlimited responses. Survicate prices by response volume. For an ongoing research program, consider whether your budget should scale with the audience you reach or the answers you collect.
Can Iterate survey responses trigger Braze campaigns?
Yes. Responses write back to Braze in real time as user attributes and custom events, available immediately for segmentation and campaign targeting with no export. An NPS detractor score can trigger a retention Canvas; a satisfaction response can update personalization in the next campaign.
