Global CX for SaaS & Ecommerce vs APAC Enterprise CX
Both platforms measure NPS, CSAT, CES, and eNPS with AI text analytics. The difference is who they are built for: Retently serves B2B SaaS and Ecommerce teams in the US and Europe with transparent pricing and hands-on onboarding, while SurveySensum's center of gravity is enterprise CX programs in APAC and the Middle East, sold annually and bundled with CX consulting.
Retently
A dedicated CX platform since 2016 with separate Ecommerce and B2B editions. NPS, CSAT, CES, and eNPS surveys with AI-powered analytics, a documented read and write REST API, transparent public pricing with a monthly option, and white-glove onboarding from a Success Manager.
SurveySensum
An AI-enabled customer experience platform founded in 2018 under parent company NeuroSensum, with offices in New York, Gurugram, and Jakarta. Positioned as an affordable, technology-based alternative to market-research consulting firms, its customer base is concentrated in APAC and Middle East enterprise programs across banking, automotive, and telecom.
SurveySensum vs Retently at a Glance
Pricing & Commitment
Retently publishes full pricing with monthly or annual billing and a real free trial. SurveySensum publishes prices too, but billing is annual-only from $3,600 per year, and its trial is capped at 25 responses.
Ecommerce Fit
Retently ships a native Shopify integration with order-data enrichment, lifecycle-triggered surveys, and NPS segmented by any store attribute. SurveySensum has no native Shopify app; store data connects through Zapier.
Integrations & API
Retently offers a documented read and write REST API plus native connectors to Shopify, Klaviyo, Gorgias, HubSpot, Intercom, Salesforce, and Slack. SurveySensum's native set is smaller, and its exposed API centers on survey-link generation and distribution.
Market & Support Focus
Retently is US and EU first, with English-first product, documentation, and support in your timezone. SurveySensum's customer base reflects its APAC and Middle East enterprise focus.
AI & Analytics Depth
Both platforms offer AI text analytics. Retently pairs AI topic and sentiment classification with issue spike detection, product-level reports, and weekly digests wired directly into Ecommerce and B2B workflows.
Survey Channels
Both cover the channels that matter for SaaS and Ecommerce: email, web, in-app widget, and shareable link. SurveySensum also lists WhatsApp, SMS, and kiosk channels aimed at its APAC enterprise base, while Retently focuses distribution on the touchpoints where SaaS and Ecommerce customers actually respond.
What Retently Does Better
Retently gives you the same core CX metrics with the commercial terms and integrations that US and EU SaaS and Ecommerce teams expect: pricing you can act on today, a real trial, an open API, and onboarding that is part of the product.
Built for Ecommerce and B2B SaaS, Not One Enterprise Mold
- Two Purpose-Built Editions: Dedicated Ecommerce and B2B products, each with its own templates, integrations, and reporting, instead of one enterprise CX mold.
- Ecommerce-Native Data Enrichment: Pull Shopify order data, spend, and support tags into every response, then segment CX metrics by any attribute.
- Account-Level NPS and Lifecycle Triggers: Aggregate scores per account for B2B, and trigger surveys off lifecycle events like onboarding, renewal, or a delivered order.
- SurveySensum has no native Shopify app; connecting store and order data runs through Zapier (per Zapier's SurveySensum-Shopify listing, July 2026).


Pricing You Can Act On, Onboarding Included
- Monthly Option, Public Plans: Every Retently plan is published with monthly or annual billing, so you can start small and scale without committing a year upfront.
- A Real Free Trial: Run an actual campaign with your own customers and data and see real results before you pay, not a capped sandbox.
- White-Glove Onboarding on Every Plan: Guided setup, survey template reviews, and migration assistance from a Success Manager; hands-on help without an enterprise tier to unlock it.
- SurveySensum's entry plan is billed annually at $3,600 per year, and its free trial is capped at 25 responses (per surveysensum.com/pricing, July 2026).


Open Platform, Proven Analytics
- Documented Read/Write REST API: Sync customers, responses, and campaigns programmatically, and bulk-import historical data for a clean migration.
- Native Connectors to Your Stack: Shopify, Klaviyo, Gorgias, HubSpot, Intercom, Salesforce, Slack, and Zapier connections come with paid plans, wired into the tools SaaS and Ecommerce teams already run.
- AI Analytics Matured In-Product: Topic and sentiment classification, issue spike detection, and weekly digests that have been refined inside the same reporting suite for years.
- SurveySensum's documented API centers on survey-link generation and distribution over WhatsApp, SMS, and email; deeper data flows to ecommerce tools depend on Zapier (per developer.surveysensum.com, July 2026).

Switching From SurveySensum Is a Data Export Away
Moving your CX program does not mean starting over. Export your data from SurveySensum, and we take it from there:
- White-glove migration: export your responses and customer data from SurveySensum; we import them via CSV or the Retently API so your NPS trends and segments carry over
- Dedicated Success Manager: hands-on onboarding, survey template matching, and campaign setup, at no extra fee
- No double-sending: data syncs first, delivery rules switch second, so customers never get the same survey twice during the changeover
- Integrations included: Shopify, Klaviyo, Gorgias, Salesforce, HubSpot, and Zapier connections come with every paid plan
