Where Usertick works differently
- 01
AI reading on every plan
Each written answer gets a category, a theme, a type, a sentiment and an urgency, in any language, on every plan, Free included.
- 02
Email surveys sent by Usertick
Usertick sends to a contact list now or up to 30 days ahead, and NPS, Stars, CES and choice questions can be answered inside the email.
- 03
Workflows on every plan
Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Sheets, Jira, Linear, HubSpot, webhooks, Zapier and threshold alerts come with every plan. Free runs 1 workflow per survey.
- 04
Extra responses that never expire
Past the monthly limit, Usertick collects with extra responses bought once at $0.10 each. They never expire and stay through plan changes.
Moving from Formbricks to Usertick
Your questions come across as text. Usertick builds the survey from them, and you set the rest in the editor.
- 1
Copy your questions from Formbricks
Open the survey in Formbricks and copy its questions and answer options as plain text.
- 2
Paste them into Usertick
Under Create survey, Paste questions turns up to 10,000 characters of text into a survey, with the wording kept and the right type for each question.
- 3
Set what text doesn't carry
Add the logic, the timing and the theme in the editor, then preview the survey.
- 4
Publish, then close the old survey
Put the survey on your website, in an email, on a link or on a QR code. Close the one in Formbricks once Usertick's is live, so that nobody answers twice.
Usertick doesn't import earlier responses. They stay in Formbricks, so keep them there or export them where Formbricks allows it.
