crosstabs.comis a free, lightweight alternative to Displayr for the crosstab part of survey analysis: open a CSV or XLSX export in your browser and build banner tables with chi-square tests, weights, and Cramér's V — no license, account, or upload required.
What Displayr is built for
Displayr is a professional market-research analysis and reporting suite, and it earns that description: a deep statistical engine, automated and repeatable reporting, dashboards, and the infrastructure to run large tracker studies where the same deliverables update wave after wave. For research teams whose output is the deck or dashboard itself, that breadth is the point.
That breadth comes with weight. It is a paid subscription product with a real learning curve, projects live on its servers, and standing up a workspace is more than most people want for a one-off question. If you just need to cross-tabulate a file that is already sitting on your desktop, a full analysis suite is more tool than the task requires.
Where a lightweight browser tool fits
crosstabs.com deliberately covers a narrow slice — the tables — and keeps it zero-setup. There is no project to configure and no account to create: open the file, pick the cuts, read the flags, export.
- Crosstabs with counts, row percentages, and column percentages
- Banner (batch) tables — repeated row variables against a banner variable
- Survey weights, with warnings where inference should be treated as approximate
- Chi-square, Fisher's exact test (2×2), Cramér's V, and 20+ association measures
- Significance flags and adjusted residuals to surface the cells worth reviewing
- CSV, XLSX, and PDF export for report-ready output
- Runs entirely in the browser — your data never leaves your device
Local processing also matters for sensitive respondent data: the file is parsed in your browser and never uploaded.
When Displayr is the better choice
Choose Displayr when you run ongoing trackers and need reports that update automatically each wave; when the analysis goes beyond crosstabs into advanced statistical methods; when the deliverable is an interactive dashboard or a fully automated report pack; or when a team of analysts needs to collaborate on shared projects with version history.
crosstabs.com is a complement to that kind of suite, not a substitute. It has no tracker automation, no dashboarding, and no advanced modeling. Its sweet spot is the ad-hoc job: a data export in hand, tables needed today, no procurement involved.
How to switch — or use them together
01
Export your data
Get your survey data into CSV or XLSX — a respondent-level export from your survey platform or data supplier works as is.
02
Open it in the workspace
Drop the file into the crosstabs.com workspace. It is parsed locally in your browser — the file never leaves your device.
03
Build banner tables
Pick row variables and a banner, apply weights if you have them, review significance flags, and export to CSV, XLSX, or PDF.
For banner-table workflows in detail, see market research crosstabs and the guide to reading a crosstab.
Run crosstabs on your data export — free, no signup
Upload a CSV or XLSX. Everything runs in your browser; your file never leaves your device.
Open the workspace →Frequently asked questions
- Can I analyze a Displayr-style survey data file in crosstabs.com?
- Yes, as long as it is a CSV or XLSX file. Export your survey data (or your platform's response download) to CSV or XLSX and open it in the crosstabs.com workspace. The file is parsed locally in your browser — nothing is uploaded — and you can build crosstabs and banner tables with significance testing right away.
- Is crosstabs.com really free?
- Yes. The crosstab workspace is free with no signup, license, or seat. Parsing, weighting, significance testing, and CSV/XLSX/PDF exports all run in your browser, so your data never leaves your device.
- Does crosstabs.com replace Displayr?
- No. Displayr is a professional market-research analysis and reporting suite, and it is the stronger choice for large tracker studies, advanced statistical methods, automated reporting, and dashboards. crosstabs.com covers the lightweight end: when you already have a data export and just need crosstabs with significance testing, without a license or setup.
