Third-party reviews in 2026 most often put **Starter at about $175 a month, billed annually**, which is about $2,100 a year. Enterprise is quote-only. Sprig does not show a full price list without a conversation with sales, so treat every figure here as reported, not confirmed. If what you need is the reasons behind the numbers, [Koji](https://www.koji.so) runs AI-moderated interviews with published per-interview prices: 1 credit per qualified text interview, 3 per voice interview, €1 per credit.\n\nThis guide covers what each Sprig plan includes, how MTU pricing works, the questions to ask before you sign, and when an interview tool fits better than an in-product survey.\n\n---\n\n## What Sprig does\n\nSprig, formerly called UserLeap, started as an in-product survey tool and has grown into a wider research platform. Today it covers:\n\n- **In-product surveys** triggered by an event, a page or a user attribute, on web and mobile.\n- **Session replays**, including short clips captured around a survey response, so you can see what the person did before they answered.\n- **Heatmaps** of where people click and scroll.\n- **AI analysis** that groups open-text answers into themes, plus AI recommendations on what to act on. Sprig describes design, fielding and synthesis agents that help build a study and summarise results.\n- **Link surveys** and broader studies such as concept tests and experience measurement.\n\nIts strength is timing. A question shown at the moment someone finishes onboarding or abandons a flow gets a fresher answer than an email a week later.\n\n---\n\n## Sprig plans and prices in 2026\n\nSprig's plans are consistent across sources. The limits and prices are not, so here is the range:\n\n| Plan | Reported price | Reported limits | What it suits |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| Free | $0 | One survey or replay study a month and a small MTU cap in one report; about 250 responses a month and 1 user in another | Trying the product |\n| Starter | About $175 a month, billed annually. One directory lists a $5,000 a year flat rate instead | Two in-product surveys or replays and up to 25,000 MTUs, per one review | Small product teams |\n| Enterprise | Custom quote | Custom MTU and study limits, API access, SSO, dedicated support, more AI features | Larger teams with many products or regions |\n\nThree things to take from the table:\n\n1. **The free plan is a trial in practice.** One study a month is enough to learn the tool, not to run a research program.\n2. **Starter is priced per year.** At about $175 a month billed annually, you commit roughly $2,100 up front.\n3. **Enterprise is where most scaling teams land**, because MTU caps and study limits rise with the size of your product, and that tier has no public price.\n\n---\n\n## How MTU pricing works\n\nAn MTU is a monthly tracked user: someone your Sprig SDK sees in your product during the month. MTU pricing ties the bill to the size of your user base, so:\n\n- **A growing product raises your bill** even if you run the same number of surveys.\n- **A large free tier is expensive to track.** Consumer apps with many casual users reach MTU limits fast.\n- **Response volume matters less than reach.** You pay to be able to ask everyone, whether or not they answer.\n\nThat is a fair model for a tool whose value is reaching every user at the right moment. It is a poor fit if you only want to hear from 30 people about one decision.\n\nBefore you accept a quote, ask Sprig, or any tool priced by tracked users, for these answers in writing:\n\n![Checklist of questions to ask before buying an MTU-priced survey tool, from how users are counted to limits, AI features, seats and export.](/visuals/mtu-priced-survey-tool-buying-questions-checklist/mtu-priced-survey-tool-buying-questions-checklist.png \"Ask these before you sign, and keep the answers with the contract.\")\n\n- How MTUs are counted, and what happens if you go over your tier.\n- How many surveys or replays the plan allows each month.\n- Whether responses are capped, and the price of going over.\n- Which AI analysis features are included and which cost extra.\n- Whether replays and heatmaps are priced separately.\n- How many seats are included, and the cost of adding more.\n- The renewal increase, in writing.\n- How you export your data if you leave.\n\n---\n\n## Why in-product surveys are worth paying for\n\nThe case for Sprig rests on response rates. Refiner's analysis of 1,382 in-app surveys found an **average response rate of 27.52% on web and 36.14% on mobile**. SurveyMonkey's 2025 platform data gives a more balanced view: **in-app surveys averaged 34%, while email surveys sent to people who know the sender averaged 49%**. So in-product surveys are not always the highest-response channel, but they reach people at the moment of use, which no email can.\n\n![A person using an app on their phone at home, the moment an in-product survey question would appear](https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1758876021591-4a48ab8968b6?crop=entropy&cs=tinysrgb&fit=max&fm=jpg&ixid=M3w5NDUzMDN8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHw0fHxwZXJzb24lMjB1c2luZyUyMHBob25lJTIwYXBwJTIwY291Y2h8ZW58MXwwfHx8MTc5MjEzMzQxMHww&ixlib=rb-4.1.0&q=80&w=1080)\n\n_Photo by [Vitaly Gariev](https://unsplash.com/@silverkblack?utm_source=koji&utm_medium=referral) on [Unsplash](https://unsplash.com/?utm_source=koji&utm_medium=referral)_\n\nResearch teams are also leaning harder on AI to make sense of all that text. In the 2026 State of User Research report from User Interviews, **80% of researchers said they use AI, up 24 points in a year**. Sprig's AI theming is a direct answer to that demand.\n\n---\n\n## Where Sprig stops\n\nAn in-product survey can only ask the people who are in your product, and it can only ask briefly. That leaves three gaps:\n\n- **People who left.** Churned customers, lost trials and prospects who never signed up are not in your product to be surveyed.\n- **The reason behind the score.** A two-question survey tells you that onboarding scored 6 out of 10. It cannot ask \"what happened right before you gave up?\" and then follow the answer.\n- **Depth per person.** Short surveys get short answers. Themes built from one-line comments are thin.\n\nHere is how the two methods compare:\n\n![Comparison of in-product surveys and AI interviews: surveys reach active users in the moment, AI interviews reach anyone and ask follow-up questions.](/visuals/in-product-survey-vs-ai-interview-comparison/in-product-survey-vs-ai-interview-comparison.png \"Use surveys to spot the problem, and interviews to understand it.\")\n\n| In-product survey | AI interview |\n|---|---|\n| Reaches people while they use your product | Reaches anyone with a link, a list or a panel |\n| Short questions triggered by an event or page | A conversation that asks follow-up questions |\n| High response rates from active users | Fewer responses, far more depth per person |\n| Pairs answers with replays and heatmaps | Reaches churned users, prospects and non-users |\n| Cannot reach churned users or prospects | A report with themes tied to quotes |\n\nMany teams use both: a survey to spot where something is wrong, then interviews to learn why.\n\n---\n\n## The interview alternative: Koji\n\n[Koji](https://www.koji.so) runs AI-moderated interviews, by voice or text, with anyone you can send a link to. It does not replace replays and heatmaps. It answers the question those tools raise.\n\n- **Published, per-interview pricing.** A qualified text interview uses 1 credit, a voice interview 3. Credits cost €1. Thirty text interviews about one onboarding problem use about 30 credits.\n- **Pay only for useful interviews.** Each interview gets a [quality score from 1 to 5](/docs/understanding-quality-scores), and only those scoring 3 or more use credits or enter the report.\n- **No user-based pricing.** The size of your user base never changes the price. You pay for interviews that happen.\n- **Free to start.** 10 free credits at signup with no card. Then buy credit packs, or choose Insights at €29 a month (29 credits) or Interviews at €79 a month (79 credits). Credits stay valid for 12 months.\n- **Inside your product too.** You can [embed an interview in your app or site](/docs/in-app-ai-surveys-embedded-research) with an iframe or React component, so you catch people in the moment and still get a full conversation.\n- **Surveys and interviews in one study.** Six question types (open ended, scale, single choice, multiple choice, ranking and yes/no), each with AI follow-up questions, and a report with [thematic analysis](/docs/thematic-analysis-guide) and quotes.\n- **Reach people outside your product.** Send [personal invite links from a CSV](/docs/importing-participants-csv) to churned customers, or on a paid plan use [panel recruitment](/docs/panel-recruitment) to reach people who have never used you.\n\n![Koji embed settings with an iframe code snippet, theme and height options and interview events](/email/shots/shot-embed.jpg \"Koji's embed settings: drop an AI interview into your product with a code snippet.\")\n\nWhere Sprig is ahead: replays, heatmaps and event-triggered micro-surveys across your whole user base. If you need behaviour data and a steady pulse from active users, Sprig does that well and Koji does not.\n\n---\n\n## Sprig vs Koji at a glance\n\n| | Sprig | Koji |\n|---|---|---|\n| Pricing model | Plans tied to monthly tracked users | Credits per qualified interview |\n| Published prices | Partly, most figures are reported | Yes |\n| Entry paid price | About $175 a month billed annually (reported) | €29 a month, or pay as you go |\n| Free option | Free plan with tight limits | 10 free credits, no card |\n| Method | In-product surveys, replays, heatmaps | AI voice and text interviews with follow-ups |\n| Who you can reach | Active users of your product | Anyone: users, churned customers, prospects, panel |\n| AI analysis | Theming and recommendations | Themes, findings with quotes, personas |\n\nMore reading: [Koji vs Sprig](/blog/koji-vs-sprig-2026), [Sprig alternatives](/blog/sprig-alternatives-2026), [Sprig vs Hotjar](/blog/sprig-vs-hotjar-2026) and [the best in-app survey tools](/blog/best-in-app-survey-tools-2026).\n\n---\n\n## Find out why, this week\n\nIf your Sprig dashboard shows where users struggle but not why, pick the one flow that worries you most.
