Sensa vs SurveyStance
Sensa and SurveyStance solve the same problem — capturing visitor sentiment on a tablet kiosk in a single tap — with different footprints. SurveyStance is a US-based, iPad-centric platform with an optional full-service model where they supply the iPad and stand. Sensa is an EU product that runs on any iPad or Android tablet you already own, is anonymous by design with EU-hosted data, and starts free for a single location with public pricing from €9/month.
| Feature | Sensa | SurveyStance |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Public pricing, free plan, from €9/month | Public per-device pricing on their site; month-to-month, cancel anytime |
| Hardware | Bring your own iPad or Android tablet | iPad-based; software-only (your iPad) or full-service (they supply iPad + stand) |
| Getting started | Self-service signup, live in ~15 minutes | Self-service; free trial per their site |
| Free tier | Yes — 1 location, free forever | Free trial (no credit card, per their site); no perpetual free tier listed |
| Anonymity & GDPR | Anonymous by default; no accounts, cookies, or tracking; EU-hosted data | Kiosks anonymous by default per their pages; US-based company |
| Best fit | EU venues — libraries, museums, stores — from one location up | US-market teams wanting emoji-first feedback and Google-review capture |
Who is SurveyStance right for?
SurveyStance has built a focused product around one-tap emoji feedback on iPads, and it extends beyond the kiosk: their "OneClick" surveys embed in email signatures and support tickets, and they sell QR/NFC cards that route happy customers toward Google reviews. Their full-service option — where the iPad and stand arrive ready to go — suits teams that don’t want to source hardware at all, and their pricing is published per device, month-to-month. If you’re a US business, live in the Apple ecosystem, and review generation matters as much as in-venue sentiment, SurveyStance is a solid fit.
Who is Sensa right for?
Sensa is built for physical spaces in Europe — libraries, museums, bookstores, service points — where the questions are "how was your visit?" and the answer has to take less than two seconds of a departing visitor’s time. It runs on whatever tablet you have, iPad or Android. Feedback is anonymous by design (no accounts, no cookies, no tracking) and data is hosted in the EU, which keeps GDPR conversations with your DPO short. Surveys support NPS and Likert questions in English or Slovak, and the dashboard shows every location in real time. Pricing is by location, not by device, and starts at free-forever for a single site — so a small venue can run indefinitely at zero cost and only pay when it grows.
