EasyCrosstabs

Survey data deserves better than Excel. You deserve better than $2,000/year.

We built the tool you never knew you needed. It might be the only one you use.

Simple Tool, Complex Insights

Survey analysis shouldn't require an enterprise budget or hours of training

I built EasyCrosstabs after spending nearly a decade at a global research and advisory firm where I ran a research team and managed a $100,000 data analysis platform. It was a powerful tool, sure, but also overpriced and bloated with features we never touched.

And get this, we had to pay extra just to use their cross-tabulation tool.

When I went solo as a consultant, I ran into a problem. Excel and Sheets are tedious for creating crosstabs, and enterprise platforms assume you have IT support and a corporate budget. I just needed a clean, simple, and professional analysis tool without the overhead. So I got to work building what I needed: a tool that does crosstabs exceptionally well, costs a fraction of enterprise tools, and gets out of your way so you can focus on insights, not software.

If you've ever felt priced out of the tools you actually need, this one's for you.

Smart Features

  • Smart import wizard — automatically detects data start row and header structure (including Qualtrics' three-row format) and intelligently consolidates question numbers and question text across multi-row headers for automated table labeling

  • Smart column exclusion — identifies and pre-excludes metadata columns (respondent IDs, timestamps, IP addresses) and numeric continuous inputs like sliders and budget fields, regardless of how they are formatted or labeled

  • Smart scale detection — automatically recognizes Likert scales, frequency scales, agreement scales, and custom ordinal sequences, sorting most response scales into the correct logical order (drag-and-drop reordering available for uncommon scales)

  • Smart survey data handling — corrects base sizes for multi-select questions, manages skip and display logic where indicated, and resolves duplicate headers and UTF-8 encoding issues so your data is clear and accurate

  • Smart quality indicators — flags low base sizes in red, displays project name in the toolbar after loading, and tracks unsaved changes throughout your session
