Stop paying
per response.
Codesift uses AI to assign codes, themes, and categories to open-ended survey responses at scale. Unlike tools that charge per response, we price based on data processed — short answers cost almost nothing.
How it works
From raw responses
to coded data in minutes
No setup complexity, no training runs. Upload your data, define your codes, and Codesift handles the rest.
Upload your responses
Import a CSV or Excel file. Codesift works with any survey platform — Qualtrics, SurveyMonkey, Typeform, and more.
AI assigns codes
Define your codebook or let Codesift AI generate your codes. AI reads each response, assigns one or more codes, and provides confidence scores.
Export and act
Download coded data as CSV, Excel, or JSON. Every row includes the original response, assigned codes, and a summary — ready for analysis.
Built for Your Research Workflow
Whether you're coding survey responses, running thematic analysis, or delivering client projects, Codesift speeds up the process without sacrificing control.

Everything you need for
rigorous qualitative coding
AI categorization
Assign one or multiple codes per response. Handles nuanced, ambiguous, and multi-topic answers with high accuracy.
Custom codebooks
Define your own categories and hierarchies, or import existing codebooks from Excel or CSV. Your framework, applied consistently.
Bulk processing
Code thousands of responses in a single job. Progress tracking, resumable sessions, and async processing for large datasets.
Confidence scores
Every code assignment includes a confidence rating. Automatically flag low-confidence responses for human review and quality control.
Flexible exports
Download coded data as CSV, Excel, or JSON.
Granular code management
Adjust code keywords, definitions, and nets easily. Re-code affected responses. See which portion of a response matched a code.a
AI Analysis
Ask questions,
get insights
Chat with AI about your coded data in natural language. No SQL, no pivot tables, no manual filtering — just ask and get instant answers about themes, patterns, and outliers in your survey responses.
Pricing model
Pay for data processed,
not for counting rows.
Most tools charge a flat rate per response regardless of length. Codesift charges based on actual content — so short answers cost almost nothing, and your bill reflects what you actually used.
A 3-word response and a 300-word response cost exactly the same. Volume punishes you. Short answers don't save you anything.
- Expensive for high-volume studies
- Short responses billed same as long
- Costs scale with survey size, not complexity
A 3-word response costs almost nothing. A 300-word response costs proportionally more. You pay for what you actually use.
- Short responses are dramatically cheaper
- High-volume studies cost a fraction
- Predictable, transparent billing
