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?”

For Busi­ness Schools

Gorilla is an online research plat­form that matches the func­tion­al­i­ty pro­vid­ed by Qualtrics in a pow­er­ful and easy to use tool.

For Psy­chol­o­gy Departments

Gorilla is an all-in-one plat­form for online behav­iour­al research, with tools for surveys, reac­tion time tasks, and mul­ti­play­er tasks.

For Behav­iour­al Science Research

Gorilla is an all-in-one plat­form for online behav­iour­al research, with tools for surveys, reac­tion time tasks, gam­i­fied research tasks, mul­ti­play­er tasks, con­sumer research sim­u­la­tions, and more.

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 nit­ti­est grit­ti­est: Here’s our Ques­tion­naire Builder 2 show­case fea­tur­ing its com­po­nents in detail.

We also back you up with our world-class support team who you can contact any time you get stuck, our ever-expand­ing list of clone­able sample tasks, and our regular live webi­na­rs. All for a pleas­ant research experience.

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!
