Gorilla: A Qualtrics Alternative

Many universities rely on Qualtrics for survey-based research. And as a survey tool, Qualtrics is great. However, it lacks other tools you may need to conduct your behavioural research, like precision reaction times, game builder and shop builder.

What’s more, with SAP’s recent purchase of Qualtrics, the company’s focus appears to be moving to large enterprises and away from academia.

Consequently, Universities across the world are being quoted higher and higher renewal prices. We’ve heard stories of departments being issued renewal fees that are five or ten times what they were paying before:

“This is ridiculous. Our previous year’s subscription was under £10,000, and our renewal is being quoted at over £50,000. We just can’t afford that. Can you help?”

"I use Gorilla to undertake novel research in behavioural health. I can use Qualtrics for surveys, but Gorilla opens up a wider range of behavioural tasks incuding randomised trials and reaction time behaviour. It is easy to set-up a task for participants to complete at home over the internet, so I can use it to collect useful behavioural data from participants across the UK. I launched a study recently, went to lunch and came back to 400 participant responses."

The program is flexible and easy to use.

"I used Gorilla to build my MRes experiments which involve participants having their attention trained whilst I measure their reaction times. The program is flexible, easy to use, and the Gorilla support team are fantastic!"
