crosstabs.comis a free, browser-based alternative to the crosstab features in Qualtrics: export your responses to CSV or XLSX, open the file locally, and build banner tables with chi-square tests, weights, and Cramér's V — no license, account, or upload required.
What Qualtrics is built for
Qualtrics is an enterprise survey and experience-management platform, and it is genuinely good at that job: questionnaire design, sampling and distribution, response collection at scale, dashboards, and organization-wide research workflows. Its crosstab tooling lives inside that platform, alongside the rest of the analysis suite, and works well when your whole workflow lives there too.
The friction shows up at the edges. Access typically requires a paid subscription and a seat on your organization's account, the analysis happens on the platform's servers, and collaborators without a login can't open your tables. If all you need is to cross-tabulate a data file you already have, that is a lot of machinery for a small task.
Where a free browser tool fits
crosstabs.com covers the table-building slice of the workflow and nothing else. It is built for the moment when the data is already collected and exported, and you need cuts, significance flags, and a clean output file — fast.
- 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
Because everything runs locally, it also works when you can't — or don't want to — upload response data to another service.
When Qualtrics is the better choice
An honest comparison cuts both ways. Stay inside Qualtrics when you are actively fielding the survey there and want analysis that updates as responses arrive; when you need dashboards, alerts, or distribution tooling tied to the same data; when your team relies on the platform's permissions, governance, and shared projects; or when you use its broader analysis features beyond crosstabs.
crosstabs.com is a lightweight complement, not a survey platform. It does not collect responses, manage panels, or host dashboards. It is at its best when you already have a CSV or XLSX export and the task in front of you is tables with significance testing.
How to switch — or use them together
01
Export your data
Download your responses from Qualtrics as a CSV or XLSX file, the same export you would hand to a spreadsheet or stats package.
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.

Open the workspace →Frequently asked questions
- Can I analyze a Qualtrics export in crosstabs.com?
- Yes. Export your responses from Qualtrics as a CSV or XLSX file, then open that file in the crosstabs.com workspace. The file is parsed locally in your browser — nothing is uploaded to a server — and you can build crosstabs and banner tables with chi-square tests, weights, and effect sizes right away.
- Is crosstabs.com really free, or is there a paid tier for crosstabs?
- The crosstab workspace is free to use 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 Qualtrics?
- No. Qualtrics is a full survey platform for designing questionnaires, fielding studies, and managing experience data at scale. crosstabs.com covers one slice of that workflow — cross-tabulating a data file you already have, with significance testing and exports. Many people use both: field the survey in Qualtrics, then run quick tables on the export in crosstabs.com.
