Why teams switch from Typeform

Typeform is great for polished one-question-at-a-time forms, but South African teams often need local compliance, predictable pricing in rand, and e-signature forms in one place. Here's what you gain with Surveyz.

Built for POPIA

Hosted in Azure South Africa North with POPIA-aware defaults — no scrambling for a data-processing agreement from an overseas vendor.

Surveys + e-signature forms

Run questionnaires and ECT-Act-aligned petitions, consent forms and attendance registers from one account.

Multi-language & analytics

Branching logic, real-time analytics and surveys in English, Afrikaans, isiXhosa and isiZulu out of the box.

No lock-in

Export your responses as CSV, XLSX or SPSS any time. We keep your business by being good, not by trapping your data.

How to bring your Typeform surveys across

Typeform supports a direct file import, so this only takes a few minutes.

  1. In Typeform, open the form you want to move and export it as JSON (Typeform's responses API and form definition both export in JSON).
  2. Create a free Surveyz account (or sign in) and open the import wizard from your dashboard.
  3. Choose Typeform as the source and upload your .json file. Surveyz parses your questions and answer options automatically.
  4. Review the mapping, adjust any question types or wording, then create your draft survey — ready to re-brand and publish.

Honest note: the import brings across your survey structure — questions, options and types. Your historical Typeform responses stay in Typeform (export them there for your records). Importing is free on every Surveyz plan.

FAQ

Will my historical Typeform responses come across?

No — only your survey structure imports. Past responses remain in Typeform and should be exported there for your records. This is the honest, compliant approach: responses are bound to where they were collected.

Is this POPIA compliant?

Yes. Surveyz is hosted in South Africa and built with POPIA in mind. You import question structure, not respondents' personal information. See our POPIA Compliance page.

Does importing cost anything?

No. Import is free on every plan, including the free tier.

What if my Typeform uses logic Surveyz doesn't auto-import?

Complex branching is rebuilt natively in the Surveyz editor — usually quicker and clearer. The import gives you the full question set to work from.
