crosstabs.comis a free, browser-based alternative to crosstabbing inside SurveyMonkey: 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 subscription, account, or upload required.
What SurveyMonkey is built for
SurveyMonkey is one of the most approachable ways to get a survey into the field. It is genuinely good at questionnaire building, response collection, automatic summary charts, and sharing results with stakeholders — all without any analysis setup. For many teams it is the whole survey stack.
Deeper analysis is where people start looking elsewhere. More advanced analysis features generally sit behind a paid subscription, the analysis runs on the platform's servers, and the built-in views can be limiting once you want weighted tables, a full banner across many questions, or formal significance testing. If you already have the export, you don't need a plan upgrade to get those tables.
Where a free browser tool fits
crosstabs.com focuses on the analysis step that comes after collection. Open the export, choose your cuts, and get statistically annotated tables you can drop into a report.
- 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, you can also analyze response data you wouldn't want to upload to another service.
When SurveyMonkey is the better choice
Stay inside SurveyMonkey when the survey is still in the field and you want summaries that update as responses arrive; when quick automatic charts answer the question and formal testing would be overkill; when your team collaborates on surveys inside a shared plan; or when you rely on its distribution, audience, and sharing features.
crosstabs.com is a lightweight complement, not a survey platform. It does not write questionnaires or collect responses. It is at its best when the data is already exported and the job is banner tables with significance testing.
How to switch — or use them together
01
Export your data
Download your responses from SurveyMonkey as a CSV or XLSX file, the same export you would open in a spreadsheet.
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 SurveyMonkey export in crosstabs.com?
- Yes. Export your responses from SurveyMonkey 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 — and you can build crosstabs and banner tables with chi-square tests, weights, and effect sizes immediately.
- Do I need an account or a paid plan to build crosstabs here?
- No. 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 SurveyMonkey?
- No. SurveyMonkey is a survey platform — it excels at building questionnaires, collecting responses, and sharing quick summaries. crosstabs.com covers a different slice: cross-tabulating a data file you already have, with significance testing and exports. A common pattern is to field in SurveyMonkey and run the deeper tables on the export here.
