Strategic Research Trial

About the Strategic Research Trial

Qualtrics offers a free account option that allows users to try a limited scope of features. However, more advanced research or complex feedback studies may require additional, advanced features. For researchers who are interested in exploring enhanced features, but aren’t ready to purchase, it’s easy to start a 30-day free  trial of our Strategic Research offerings.

Our Strategic Research product is an advanced research solution that combines experience feedback, sophisticated research methodologies, and analytics in a single platform.
