The plans
What Q Research Software charges
Q Research Software charges annually for its analyst licences. Your bill depends on the number of standard user licences or transferable licences you need.
Standard licence
US$3,259 per user per year
It is for one computer.
Transferable licence
US$9,777 per year
It allows installation on multiple computers, with one user at a time.
How the bill is built
One licence per analyst
The standard licence costs US$3,259 per user per year and is for one computer. If several analysts need access, the standard price applies per user, so count the seats used for recurring survey summaries and review papers.
Sharing has its own licence
The transferable licence costs US$9,777 annually. Q describes installation on multiple computers with one user at a time, so it is not simultaneous access for several people.
Billed annually
Both published licence prices are annual. You pay for the licence over the year, so consider the number and type of licences your team needs when working out the recurring bill.
Support and training included
Q includes upgrades, technical support and online training with its licences. The price also gives access to a broad statistical and reporting toolkit, including specialist analysis as well as everyday survey summaries.
A year of Q Research Software
What it costs over a year
At the published standard rate, ten licences would cost US$32,590 per year. This is an annual scenario, not a confirmed customer invoice. Each standard licence is charged per user, while a transferable licence is US$9,777 per year and permits installation on multiple computers with one user at a time. Your total depends on which licence type and number of licences you need.
Underneath the bill
What you are really paying for
Access for each analyst
A standard licence is priced per user and covers one computer. The annual bill grows with the number of analysts who need their own standard licence for survey summaries, review papers and other analysis.
A defined sharing arrangement
The transferable licence costs more than a standard licence, but allows installation on multiple computers. Its terms still allow only one user at a time, so the licence type determines how your team can share access.
A wider research toolkit
The licence includes upgrades, technical support and online training. Q also offers advanced analysis alongside everyday survey summaries, so part of the cost is access to a broad statistical and reporting toolkit.
The owned alternative
An alternative you own
Survey Tabulation is an owned alternative built around a database your business controls. Enterprise DNA builds your version around how your business runs, brings across the Q Research Software data you choose to export, and runs it for you. The service is charged as one setup fee followed by a monthly retainer. There is also a free version you can run yourself.

Can you move Q survey data to an owned alternative? expand_more
