questionr alternatives
The best questionr alternatives in analytics tools, ranked by Sparkpulse's velocity_score.
Updated Aug 17, 2026
Looking for the best alternatives to questionr? Sparkpulse tracks and ranks 12 alternatives in analytics tools by shipping velocity — how frequently each ships meaningful updates, verified from official changelogs. For reference, questionr shipped 0 meaningful updates in the last 30 days and carries a velocity score of 0.0 out of 10 in 2026. The alternatives below are ranked the same way, so you're comparing real release momentum, not marketing claims.
About questionr
questionr's survey helpers are finished; recent releases only keep pace with R-devel.
A long-running toolkit for survey data in R — proportion tables, weighted counts, and the interactive irec(), iorder() and icut() addins for recoding. The last functional release was 0.8.0 in March 2025: a new freqtable() function, prop(), cprop() and rprop() extended to tables of three or more dimensions, and the addins moved onto the native pipe and forcats' current API. Both releases since exist purely to fix tests broken by R-devel changes to table internals.
