VS Opinion Stage
Engagement goes in, leads come out.
Opinion Stage builds interactive content in six flavors: quiz, poll, survey, form, assessment, and calculator makers, with AI creation on every plan including Free and a 106-app integration directory behind them. Uplup plays the same game with a different scoreboard, keeping every question type and scoring mode available from the $0 plan up so the engagement you collect becomes leads you own from day one. If the branding badge at $79 or the 25-response free cap put you in the market for an Opinion Stage alternative, this page is built for that search: both sides checked against live pages, with the rows they win printed in full.

When to pick which
Pick Uplup when
- •Branding removal at $29 instead of $79: Opinion Stage keeps its badge on until the Business tier.
- •You want a free plan with 50 responses a month, double their allowance, plus 10 AI credits to build with.
- •You need grades that mean something: pass or fail against a threshold, percentages, and partial credit question by question.
- •Stripe payments and webhooks from the $29 plan; Opinion Stage prices both into Business at $79.
- •You want AI that builds from a URL, PDF, image, or document, not just a typed prompt.
Stay on Opinion Stage when
- •Polls and voting campaigns are core to your content; Opinion Stage has a dedicated poll maker and voting pages, and Uplup doesn’t make polls.
- •Respondents need to upload files: their Business tier accepts images, documents, and PDFs up to 10MB each.
- •Bot traffic is a real problem for you; reCAPTCHA protection ships on their Business plan.
- •You want the wide stack: a 106-app integration directory reaching Salesforce, Marketo, and Pardot, plus a developer API on every plan including Free.
Opinion Stage pricing in plain terms
Opinion Stage meters exactly one thing: responses collected per month. Items, questions, and quizzes are unlimited on every plan, so the whole decision is how much volume you buy and which features your tier switches on. Figures below are the yearly rates shown per month, in USD.
- •Free: $0, free forever. 25 responses a month, 2 users, unlimited items and questions, with AI creation, lead capture, embeds, and the developer API all included. Generous features on a tight allowance.
- •Pro: $25/mo yearly ($32 monthly) for 1,000 responses a month, or $39/$49 for 2,500. 3 users, priority chat support, and an onboarding call.
- •Business: $79/mo yearly ($99 monthly) for 10,000 responses, stepping to $199 for 25,000 and $400 for 50,000. 5 users, and this is where branding removal, payments, file uploads, webhooks, reCAPTCHA, and the drop-off report all arrive.
- •Enterprise: custom pricing. Unlimited responses, users, and workspaces, custom CSS branding, a dedicated success manager, and legal, infosec, and GDPR contracts.
- •Uplup next to that: $29/mo carries 1,000 pooled responses with branding removal, payments, webhooks, and the API already on, and $79 carries 10,000 with overage billing and a custom domain.
Opinion Stage never says what hitting the response cap does to a live quiz, so that behavior goes unclaimed here. No trial or money-back guarantee is advertised; per their FAQ, the free plan is the trial, and yearly billing runs 20% under monthly. Above 50,000 responses a month, the pricing page points you toward sales.

Which one fits your situation
The table gives you the parts; these five profiles assemble them into a recommendation.
Publishers and bloggers embedding polls beside their articles
Opinion Stage has spent years optimizing for exactly this: a dedicated poll maker, voting campaign pages, a WordPress plugin, and social integrations built for exactly this job. Uplup doesn’t make polls at all, so there is nothing to switch to. If your interactive content is a sidebar poll next to every post, stay where the poll product lives.
Marketers running lead-gen quizzes on their own terms
At the entry tier both tools hand you 1,000 responses a month, so look at what ships alongside them. Uplup’s $29 plan includes branding removal, Stripe payments, and webhooks, three things Opinion Stage prices into Business at $79, and the $79 Uplup tier adds a custom domain plus overage billing when a campaign spikes. The email gate before results can be required or skippable, whichever your funnel needs.
Community managers collecting votes and quick feedback
Running a vote is a different job from running a quiz, and Opinion Stage has built for it: voting campaign pages, repeat-participation blocking from Pro, and scheduled closing dates so a vote actually ends. Uplup can fake a one-question form, but that is a workaround, not a polling product. Communities that vote weekly should stay put.
Teams grading assessments with a real pass mark
Opinion Stage grades knowledge quizzes, calculates scores, and tracks time spent, which covers trivia and engagement quizzes well. Uplup goes further into assessment territory: a real pass mark, percentage results, partial credit on single questions, and explanations shown after each answer. If someone can fail your quiz and that matters, the deeper scoring engine is the deciding row.
Anyone still proving that interactive content converts
Both free plans are real: AI creation and lead capture included on each, no card required. Opinion Stage gives you 25 responses a month with most features on; Uplup gives you 50 plus 10 monthly AI credits. Prototype on whichever builder feels better in your hands, and let the first month of data pick the winner. The proof simply arrives twice as fast on Uplup’s allowance.
Where each one earns it
The case for Uplup
- •Branding removal at $29 a month; Opinion Stage holds it until Business at $79
- •A free plan with 50 responses, double their 25, and no expiry date
- •Four ways to score: per-question points carrying partial credit, percentage, pass/fail, and personality
- •AI drafting that takes a prompt, URL, PDF, image, or document
- •Stripe payments and webhooks from the $29 plan instead of the $79 one
- •Overage billing at the Business cap and a custom domain at $79; Opinion Stage advertises neither
What both ship
- •Free plans with AI creation and lead capture included
- •Unlimited quizzes and items on every plan; both meter responses only
- •Skip and branch logic from the free tier up
- •Email gates that capture the lead before results
- •HubSpot, Klaviyo, and other CRM connections, plus Zapier and webhooks
- •Response analytics you can export
No spin: where Opinion Stage wins
- •A real poll maker with voting campaign pages and a WordPress plugin publishers rely on
- •Respondent file uploads up to 10MB per file and reCAPTCHA bot protection, both on Business
- •A drop-off report and conversion tracking on the Business tier
- •A 106-app integration directory reaching Salesforce, Marketo, Pardot, Make, Google Sheets, and Slack
- •A developer API on every plan including Free; Uplup’s starts at $29
Our straight answer
Four dollars separate the entry tiers and the response allowances match at 1,000, so this decision gets made one shelf up and one shelf down. Down a shelf, Uplup’s free plan doubles the responses and withholds nothing, and its $29 plan already includes the branding removal, payments, and webhooks that Opinion Stage prices at $79. Up a shelf, Opinion Stage earns its keep for publishers and poll-driven teams: a dedicated poll product, voting campaigns, file uploads, reCAPTCHA, and an API on every plan are things Uplup either lacks or charges for. Buy the tool whose $79 tier you would actually use: Uplup’s for overage billing and a custom domain, Opinion Stage’s for uploads, bot protection, and the drop-off report.
Switching from Opinion Stage, end to end
The short version: exports on their side, an AI generator on ours, and one product, polls, that doesn’t make the trip.
- 1
Export every response before you build anything
Opinion Stage exports per item to Excel, Google Sheets, or CSV, so pull down each quiz, survey, and form you care about and file the spreadsheets somewhere safe. Leads already synced to your CRM stay exactly where they are; the export is your answer-level history and your reference sheet for the rebuild.
- 2
Move the quizzes and forms first, and decide about the polls
Paste your question sets into Uplup’s AI generator or import the source document, then recreate your skip and branch logic in the builder. Make the poll call now rather than later: Uplup has no poll product, so each standing poll either becomes a one-question form or stays on Opinion Stage until you retire it.
- 3
Rebuild the lead gate and the results pages
Opinion Stage’s mid-quiz lead form maps to Uplup’s email gate in front of results, set as required or skippable per quiz. Recreate your outcomes with the matching scoring mode: personality results transfer directly, and graded quizzes gain pass/fail thresholds, percentage scores, and partial credit they didn’t have before.
- 4
Reconnect the marketing stack at the $29 tier
Wire your list, tags, and automations back up: 23 native CRM and email integrations cover the common tools, and Zapier, n8n, webhooks, and the REST API cover the rest, all included from the $29 plan. If your Opinion Stage setup leaned on webhooks or payments at Business, both cost $50 a month less on this side.
- 5
Run a side-by-side week, then time the cancellation
Point your embeds, ads, and bio links at the Uplup versions while the Opinion Stage originals stay live as a fallback. Give the two versions a full week of numbers on completions and opt-ins, and once Uplup holds them, cancel before your next renewal date; on their default yearly billing, that date is worth looking up early.
