Pick a ready-made survey template and adapt it to your brand. Options include NPS, customer satisfaction (CSAT), employee surveys and product and market tests. Every template has a methodical structure and is ready to edit.

You can also build the questionnaire from scratch without a template.

  • Bilingual templates (English & German)
  • Instantly editable: questions, logos, colours
  • From template to live survey in minutes

Build by clicking with 20+ question types

Create questions by drag-and-drop: from single and multiple choice through matrix, NPS and rating questions to MaxDiff and conjoint. With skip logic and branching, every respondent sees exactly the right questions.

Your survey runs on any device and can be shared by link, email or QR code.

  • Logic & branching without code
  • Optimised for phone, tablet and desktop
  • Share by link, email or QR code

Analyse responses automatically

As soon as responses arrive, DataLion creates crosstabs, an interactive dashboard and an editable PowerPoint. You do not have to export the data to Excel or build charts manually first.

AI sentiment and topic analysis codes open-ended answers by sentiment and topic. This lets you analyse both what respondents said and why.

The guide to analysing survey data covers the complete workflow from raw export through crosstabs and Likert scales to the finished report.

  • A live dashboard instead of a raw Excel list
  • Editable PowerPoint at the click of a button
  • Open-ended answers analysed by AI

Already have data? Start with that.

Not every analysis begins with a new survey. Often the data already exists — an Excel sheet from an earlier study, a CSV from another tool, an SPSS file from an institute. You can start DataLion with that just as well: upload the file, get the analysis.

SPSS files bring their variable and value labels along, plus a weighting variable if there is one — the analysis computes with it instead of ignoring it. Excel and CSV become a dataset with a codebook that you can filter, cross-tabulate and share as a dashboard exactly like your own survey.

For many people this is the faster way in: the result is visible within minutes, because nobody has to wait for responses.
