Survey Setup Improvements! 🥳

We just added a bunch of improvements to the Survey Setup page that will make your life a lot easier when creating OpinionX surveys:

1. Reorder Mode makes it easier to drag blocks to difference sections of your survey.

2. The ‘Add Block’ button has been replaced by clearer ‘Add Another Question’ buttons between each block.

3. We split the Identify block out into its different question types (Email, Name, etc.) each as a separate block type.

4. Text Response blocks can now be set to Short Answer or Long Answer, which changes the text box size.

5. We added a new sort-by method for Multiple Choice bar charts.

6. We improved the quality of translations across all OpinionX survey languages.

Reorder Mode

Once you start dragging a survey block on the setup tab, all other questions will collapse into a summary mode (just the block-type icon and question text) to allow for easier reordering. We also improved the auto-scroll functionality so that dragging a block to the top or bottom of the screen will scroll the page for you.

Add Another Question

The old + Add Block button was annoying. It only added new question blocks below the one you were currently editing, and it was often nowhere to be found when you needed it most (sometimes even tricking people into thinking OpinionX only allowed one-question surveys). We’ve replaced it with a much clearer set of ‘Add Another Question’ buttons throughout the survey setup page. While they take up a little extra space, I’ve already found these saving me a bunch of unnecessary clicks.

Identify Blocks

Speaking of features new users often missed, the Identify block was probably our single biggest source of customer support messages. Instead of grouping everything together under one block name, we’ve split them out into separate question types like Email Address, Participant Name, and Phone Number. You may also notice a fresh coat of paint on this menu too, we figured we may as well spruce it up while we were adding these :)

Upcoming Tier Changes

Later this month (September 2025), two existing features will move from the Analyze tier to the Accelerate tier:

1. Editor Seats → Surveys on the Analyze plan will now include 1 editor seat (the survey creator). You can still add unlimited view-only collaborators through Viewer invites or Guest Links, and workspaces will continue to have unlimited survey creators across all of our pricing plans.

2. Whitelabeling → The ability to hide the ‘Powered by OpinionX’ button will now join our other Accelerate tier branding features like custom survey URLs and styling.

We know it’s never fun to see features move up a tier; if anything we tend to do the opposite and give more away for free! The reason we’re making this change is to better align plans with how our customers use them: Analyze by individual researchers and Accelerate by more established product teams that need collaboration and brand alignment.

Over the past three years, we’ve lowered the price of Analyze from $480/year to $300/year while expanding the product from a simple tool for ranking pools into an advanced survey platform for strategic research. We can only continue to grow OpinionX if we align the value we offer with the tiering of features across our various plans.

We hate to disappoint you guys, so I hope you can understand our reasoning for this. I’m more than happy to receive any and all feedback you have on this topic.
