THE ECOSYSTEM GAP

Where SurveyToGo Stops.
Where PulseFE Starts.

A field app alone is not enough. PulseFE wraps AI scripting, verification, coding, transcription, and reporting into one pipeline — the differentiator no standalone CAPI matches.

Ecosystem Capability
The PulseFE Ecosystem
SurveyToGo / Typical CAPI
AI questionnaire scripting
✓ Word file → field-ready script in minutes; 172+ languages
✗ Manual scripting — days of work, no AI draft
Statistical QC & audit trail
✓ Live LOI, GPS, speeding flags + automatic back-check routing
~ Basic fieldwork review — QC mostly after fieldwork
AI audio transcription & translation
✓ In-questionnaire audio transcribed & translated automatically
✗ Not included — separate vendors / manual process
AI open-ended text classification
✓ Gemini coding in 172+ languages → multi-response dataset
✗ Manual tagging — days of coder time
SPSS-like AI analytics & reporting
✓ Significance-tested tables + narrative report in under an hour
✗ Export data, then hours/days of separate DP
End-to-end research services
✓ Scripting, ETL, Power BI, retail audit, census — one partner
✗ Software only — stitch vendors yourself
Time from fieldwork → client report
✓ Hours — days become hours across the pipeline
~ Days to weeks of hand-offs after collection

No other field system pairs AI at every step with this depth of Indian Market Research support. That is why PulseFE is the offline CAPI that nothing else comes near.

Why Indian MR Teams
Choose PulseFE

01

No Per-Interview Tax

SurveyToGo charges up to ₹130 per interview — costs that compound fast on large-scale studies. PulseFE's project-based pricing means your costs stay predictable, regardless of interview volume.

02

Truly Indian Language Ready

India's linguistic diversity demands more than basic translation. PulseFE supports native scripts — Devanagari, Bengali, Gujarati and more — so respondents answer in their mother tongue, comfortably.

03

Your Data Stays in India

PulseFE gives you full control over where your data lives. With open-standard server technology, you can host on your own infrastructure or a local cloud — critical for data sovereignty and client trust.

04

SPSS-like AI Analytics

Pulse Analytics AI turns synced submissions into significance-tested tables and narrative reports in under an hour. SurveyToGo stops at collection — you still need a full DP team.

05

Fastest Time-to-Field

AI-assisted scripting drafts your questionnaire in minutes; humans perfect it. Transcription, translation, and open-end coding compress days of work so studies launch and close faster.

06

Support That Picks Up the Phone

SurveyToGo's support is email-only for paying accounts. PulseFE provides hands-on, India-based support — from survey design through data delivery. We're in your timezone, speaking your language.
