We talked with some of our customers about why they chose Refiner, how they integrated it with their stack, what do they use Refiner for, and the results they’ve gotten.
Refiner is a great alternative to Qualtrics. Collect more insights with our highly configurable in-app surveys, automate actions based on answers, and quickly find gaps in the understanding of your users.

“We got along very well with Refiner. The way we choose our partners is important. Beyond the fact that it meets our needs and that it is a tool that also meets our budgetary constraints, there must be a real partnership of trust and continuous development.”
Mathieu Le Roux
Voice of the Customer Expert
Even though Qualtrics and Refiner have a similar product feature set, there are a couple of key differences. Here are the most important ones.
Qualtrics has a broad product offering, Refiner is focused on SaaS & digital product companies.
Qualtrics lets you customize a few colors and that’s basically it. Refiner does a lot more.
Qualtrics has a lot of integrations but it’s missing a few ones that are very useful for SaaS companies. Refiner has them.
We proudly serve hundreds of happy SaaS, Fintech, Edtech, Online Marketplaces and Consumer Mobile Apps customers.
Refiner was the only in-app survey tool that met all our requirements. Its focus on in-app surveys provides a streamlined feature set that fits our needs perfectly. We appreciate the easy integration via Google Tag Manager, allowing us to use data from our data layer and trigger surveys with GA events. Thanks to the Zapier integration, we seamlessly integrate Refiner into our automated feedback processing workflows.

We love using Refiner to automatically gather NPS survey results and get critical feedback we need from our trial users so we can constantly improve our word of mouth flywheel. With its Segment and Zapier integrations it fits right into our product led growth tech stack. Easy to install, tons of value and zero hassle.
Paul Yacoubian
Founder, CEO
Refiner is a powerful in-app survey tool that allows to precisely target user segments based on our data. We tested several tools before going to Refiner and what made the big difference is that with Refiner every survey answer is directly logged into our database via Segment, and that’s a game changer! Also, the initial integration and setup were seamless and extremely easy. The templates and the ability to customize survey with our own branding and targeting specs is very much appreciated too.
Margaux Reynaud

Refiner is the tool we were searching for to better profile our users, and gather feedback about our products. It’s very easy to set up, comes with a great UX for our users and the team is very reactive.
Javier Escribano

Refiner changed the way we operate. As a data-driven online service, we needed a way to collect feedback unintrusively at scale. Their tool helped us reach this goal in no time. Bonus : it fits super well in our growth stack (Segment, Customer.io).
Grégoire d’Aboville

Super easy two-way integration with Segment and great support in setting up and launching our in-app surveys, made it a success!
Coralie Blanc

With its Segment integration, Refiner makes it super easy to survey fragmented user segments easily based on properties and/or events and sync results with our data warehouse for further analysis. Setting up Refiner was a child’s play and creating new surveys is a matter of minutes. 10/10 points.
Alexander Schneekloth
Co-Founder
We discovered Refiner while using another SaaS product and we instantly fell in love with their UI / UX. So we gave it a go and were collecting user feedback for SnapShooter in no time. We are using Refiner to collect insights about how our users discovered us. The Slack notifications when someone completes a survey are a great addition to keep the team informed.
Simon Bennett
Founder
We were looking for an in-app survey solution for our product that could flawlessly be synced with Segment. Refiner is the only solution we found that addresses data integrations as a main feature and not as an afterthought. Refiner is an incredibly flexible tool that can be used by nearly every team at Livestorm: growth and marketing, product, customer experience and support, and even sales.
Thibaut Davoult
We looked at various NPS solutions but Refiner was the only one which was built from the ground up to meet the needs of SaaS companies. Refiner gives us complete flexibility and their surveys match our UI/UX 100%.
