Synesis Survey

Synesis Survey is an AI-powered platform for creating surveys and forms on Android, iOS, and the web. It can turn descriptions into surveys with questions, scales, and logic flows, then provide real-time analytics, interactive visualizations, and insights. Surveys can be shared through QR codes or embedded widgets. The site says the service supports more than 50 languages and more than 50 countries; mobile surveys are touch-optimized and can work offline. AI monitoring looks for duplicate, bot, and suspicious response patterns, while duplicate prevention uses IP tracking and browser fingerprinting. Users can import surveys and responses from SurveyMonkey, Typeform, Google Forms, Microsoft Forms, or CSV files. Starter, Academic, and Pro include Excel and PDF exports. The Free plan costs ₦0 forever and allows one survey and 20 responses per month, with basic question types, email support, and basic analytics. Paid plans add different survey and response allowances and features. The maker describes Synesis as intended for students, researchers, NGOs, businesses, and organizations across Africa.

Synesis Survey combines AI-assisted survey creation with distribution, analytics, and response monitoring. The Free plan is limited to one survey and 20 responses per month, while paid plans add different allowances and capabilities.

Synesis may suit students, researchers, NGOs, businesses, and organizations that need surveys or forms. Its mobile access, offline survey support, and imports from other survey tools may be useful to teams collecting responses in varied settings.

Overview

Synesis Survey is a survey and form platform for teams that want AI-assisted questionnaire creation alongside response monitoring and analysis. It is best suited to students, researchers, NGOs, and organizations—particularly those working across Africa—whose projects can fit its monthly response limits. Its mobile and offline capabilities are useful for fieldwork, but larger studies will need a higher tier.

Key features

Users can describe a survey and have AI generate questions, scales, and branching logic. That is a practical head start for researchers shaping a questionnaire, though the Free plan offers only basic question types; Starter unlocks all question types, and AI-powered analysis starts with Academic.

Real-time analytics, interactive visualizations, and instant insights help users follow response trends while a survey is running. AI monitoring flags duplicates, bots, and suspicious response patterns, while IP tracking and browser fingerprinting help prevent duplicate submissions. These safeguards are valuable when response quality matters, but they do not expand the quotas: Free allows 20 responses per month, Starter 200, Academic 500, and Pro 1,000.

QR codes and embeddable widgets give teams straightforward ways to share surveys. Synesis supports more than 50 languages and says it serves users in more than 50 countries. Responsive, touch-optimized mobile use and offline surveys make it a stronger fit for fieldwork than a web-only workflow. Imports from SurveyMonkey, Typeform, Google Forms, Microsoft Forms, and CSV files can also ease migration.

Starter, Academic, and Pro include Excel and PDF exports, useful for teams that need to move results into familiar reporting workflows. Enterprise adds custom integrations and advanced security; SSO, GDPR compliance, and advanced permissions are positioned as enterprise capabilities. Payments are secured via Paystack.

Pricing

Synesis offers a free tier and paid monthly plans priced in naira. The lower tiers keep costs down but impose response and survey caps; the top tier is aimed at organizations needing higher volume and additional controls.

• Free — ₦0 forever: One survey, 20 responses per month, basic question types, basic analytics, and email support. It is suitable for trying a small questionnaire, but the response ceiling is too low for many ongoing research projects.
• Starter — ₦2,500/month: Up to five surveys and 200 responses per month, all question types, Excel/PDF export, and email support. This is the modest step up for a small project that needs more flexibility than Free; the capped survey count and response volume remain limiting.
• Academic — ₦23,200/month: Unlimited surveys, 500 responses per month, AI-powered analysis, custom branding, and an academic discount. It suits academic users who value analysis and branding, but the response quota still constrains larger studies.
• Pro — ₦46,400/month: Unlimited surveys, 1,000 responses per month, collaboration for five members, advanced analytics, and priority support. It fits a small team running multiple projects, though it is not unlimited in response volume.
• Enterprise — ₦158,400/month: Unlimited responses, white-label options, dedicated support, an SLA guarantee, custom integrations, and advanced security. This is the clearest fit for organizations that need scale and enterprise provisions rather than a low-cost research tool.

The Free plan is billed at ₦0 forever. Paid plan prices are monthly.

Platforms

Synesis Survey is available on Android, iOS, and the web. Its touch-optimized mobile experience and offline surveys make it particularly relevant for teams collecting responses away from a desktop or reliable connection.

Who it's for

Students and researchers can use the Academic plan’s analysis tools and discount, while NGOs and businesses may value multilingual support, offline collection, and distribution options. The maker says the product was begun in 2024 in response to Nigerian researchers’ difficulty accessing affordable survey software. The response caps make Free and Starter more appropriate for small studies than large-scale collection.

Pros and cons

• Pros: AI-generated questions, scales, and logic can accelerate questionnaire drafting; offline mobile surveys suit fieldwork; imports from major survey services and CSV can make switching easier.
• Pros: Fraud monitoring, real-time analytics, and multiple distribution methods combine collection and response oversight in one platform.
• Cons: Free allows only 20 responses monthly, and even Starter caps collection at 200, which narrows their use for active research.
• Cons: Team collaboration is included on Pro for five members, so teams needing shared workspaces must move beyond the lower tiers.
• Cons: Enterprise capabilities and unlimited responses require the highest-priced plan, a substantial commitment for organizations with needs beyond smaller projects.

Alternatives

AI Survey Generators is a useful starting point for readers comparing tools centered on AI survey creation.

Choose Alchemer if its free plan or response allowances on its paid tiers better match your project; its Collaborator plan lists 75,000 annual responses and Professional lists 100,000 annual responses.

Typeform is worth considering if you want unlimited forms on a free plan, though it allows 10 responses per month.

AkioSurvey may fit a small project that needs a free allowance of 200 responses monthly and up to three AI-generated surveys, with a five-question limit on each AI-generated survey.

SurveyMonkey is another freemium option, with a Basic plan limited to 10 questions per survey and limited responses per survey.

Sprig is a paid alternative for readers considering an enterprise platform whose pricing scales with response volume, research capabilities, and deployment environments.

Lumor offers a free plan with one workspace, one user, three studies per month, and 100 responses per month, making it an option for a solo user whose study fits those limits.

SoGoSurvey has a free plan capped at 15 projects per year, 100 responses per project, and 200 responses per year, which may suit projects that fit annual rather than monthly limits.

Surbee offers a student plan with school email verification and 2,000 credits per month; its terms say it then costs $20/mo automatically, with cancellation available anytime.

Verdict

Synesis Survey is a strong fit for students, researchers, NGOs, and small organizations that want AI-assisted survey creation, mobile fieldwork, and response monitoring in one platform. Its strongest reason to choose it is that broad collection workflow, including offline use and multilingual reach. Look elsewhere if your project needs substantial response volume without the cost of Enterprise, or if you need team collaboration below Pro.
