Why teams switch

Five reasons research teams use RecRam for recorded answers

Each point is set against what Alchemer's own pricing page and help center say, so you can check it yourself.

RecRam

Included

Video answers without an add-on

Recorder questions (video, voice, screen or text) are part of every plan, with up to 10 minutes per answer.

Alchemer: Alchemer's Video Feedback question is an add-on powered by VoxPopMe. Answers run 15 to 300 seconds and must include both video and audio.

RecRam

110+ languages

Transcripts in your respondents' languages

Speech-to-text detects the spoken language automatically, and transcripts can be translated into 100 languages.

Alchemer: Only English-language video responses are transcribed. Each account gets 1,000 minutes of transcription and sentiment scoring.

RecRam

Embeds

Recording works in website widgets too

Video Magnet puts recording forms on your site as a popup, chat button or inline widget, with time, scroll and exit-intent triggers.

Alchemer: The Video Feedback question isn't supported on survey embeds or in Offline Mode, and it stops showing to respondents once the account's minutes are used.

RecRam

$29/mo

One plan price, not a price per user

Starter is $29/mo for 1 member; Professional is $99/mo with 3. Extra members are $12/mo each.

Alchemer: Collaborator is $55 per user/month, Professional $165 and Full Access $275, billed monthly. More than 3 users needs a Business Platform account.

RecRam

Every plan

API and webhooks from the entry plan

REST API, signed webhooks, Zapier, n8n, Make, HubSpot, Zendesk, Slack and Google Sheets, all on Starter.

Alchemer: Alchemer says API access is available for Business Platform accounts.
