Frequently Asked Questions

  • EasyCrosstabs is a survey analysis tool that generates professional crosstabs and charts from your CSV data. It's designed for consultants, researchers, analysts, and students who need clean insights without enterprise software complexity.

    The Free Edition includes all the basics you need to turn raw survey data into beautiful and easy to analyze crosstabs.

    Upgrade to Pro Edtion for a one-time fee of $99 to access all features including heatmap mode, grouping, charts, notes, and much more. You can also save and manage your projects, and use our exclusive .ect file format to back up your analysis or share with other EasyCrosstabs Pro users.

  • Enter your license key, download the tool, double-click to open, upload your CSV survey data in a labeled format, and generate crosstabs instantly.

  • No. Everything runs locally in your machine. Your data never leaves your computer, never touches our servers, and never gets uploaded to the cloud.

    Our smart compression reduces file sizes by ~70%, so even large surveys stay small and manageable. Switch between projects instantly, organize however you like, and your data stays completely private on your machine.

  • For multi-select questions, each answer option appears as its own individual crosstab.

  • Tested with datasets up to 10,000 responses. Performance depends on your computer, but typical survey projects (300-2,000 responses) run smoothly on basic systems.

  • Excel wasn't built for survey crosstabs. EasyCrosstabs automatically calculates percentages, handles response grouping, generates publication-ready charts, and provides smart auto-sorting, all in a clean, purpose-built interface.

  • Those platforms are powerful but expensive (starting at $1,500-$2,500/year) and complex (require training). EasyCrosstabs focuses on the core features that deliver 80% of the value of enterprise tools.
